If you’re mything missing discussing mythicism, John Loftus has taken up the torch of historical Jesus discussion, posting on whether Napoleon existed, as well as interacting with Vince Hart’s professed agnosticism about the existence of Jesus. So there are plenty of places you can continue the conversation, if you’re so inclined.
I’m not sure the Napoleon comparison will be helpful to the discussion, however, since historians expect there to be much more evidence for a political ruler and military leader than for an itinerant teacher or exorcist. But presumably the point is that it is possible to doubt the existence of just about anyone and anything, including individuals and events that would be expected to leave behind better historical evidence and in fact have done so, and so the ability of mythicists to doubt the existence of Jesus doesn’t do anything other than provide yet another instance of this phenomenon.
