   Yes, there is the argument that Jesus was a fictional   
   character, a composite based on earlier figures.   
   But I believe he existed but not that he was resurrected   
   and not that he was some God incarnate.   
      
   I say on my web page that Jesus and Taliesin (Gwion Bach)   
   are the two figures I have the most evidence for my being   
   similar to.   But I also have some evidence for Moses,   
   Jacob, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, Quetzalcoatl, Iowa Dakota   
   Salmon youth, Adonis, Amergin, Fionn, Myrddin, The Turquoise   
   Bee, and a few  more so far even though I have done very   
   little library research after 1997 (I expected readers   
   would come forward with more data but none have).
