I’m happy “scholars agree.” But that isn’t evidence. That’s a bunch of dudes who love Jesus finding a way to prove his actual existence.
If you look hard enough, you can find evidence to prove whatever you want, as long as that isn’t disproven with science.
You gotta hand it to the man. He saw an opportunity and he took it. He’s just bad at it. We can’t shame him, because we elected a better version of him.
