Hi John .... I'm not that familiar with the arguments and issues regarding Jesus's existence. But let's say Jesus never actually existed. Pretending this could be proved:
1) How would it change your outlook on life?
2) Christians would probably move to a metaphorical interpretation of the New Testament or simply not believe in the said proof? I would not care to guess what Islam would do?
3) Atheists would say "what's the big surprise?"
4) And agnostics might say "oh?" And move on.
So my question is why is it important (to you) whether Jesus actually existed or not?
all the best
