That's fine, your opinion.

But I prefer the conclusions of scholars who spent many years, months, days and hours on the research.
Researching nothing but highly speculative documents with limited historical value. And NO contemporary sources.

They might as well have been researching the historical Jesus in a storage facility in Hull for all the worth it has for historians.

They research what they have when they don't have contemporary accounts. If you denigrate historical documents like that, I doubt you could have confidence in anything historical.

Just as historians would reconstruct an event in our era, were photos and written documents lost.

This Jesus didn't exist stuff is just new age atheism. Like astrology for atheists.

Or faith healing for idiots?

Mushy, Unitarians are an example of a group that emerged through Christian theology, yet don't accept the Trinity.

You are mistaken that Christianity falls apart if Jesus was a human. Albeit no ordinary human.

Are you American? Only ask because of the way you spell 'favour'.

But no, I'm not going to bother. Because you were responding to pretty recent posts when you said 'you are mistaken'.
