Attack ideas not people please. It ought to be really easy for you to present evidence for your Messiah.
We aren't saying Jesus was a messiah or in any way divine, but he was there and did things (probably different from what Christianity claims)
You can dislike and oppose Christianity w/o denying the fact that Jesus exists.
Ok you weakened your claim. Fine, now prove your weakened claim. This really shouldn't be that difficult.

And? 95% of the humans race believes in some form of God. About 66% of biblical scholars believe the Resurrection was a true historical event as well as the gospel author citations being accurate
Are you being intentionally clueless? The image specifically says "modern scholars", whereas all of your examples are of unqualified people. Moreover, most scholars of antiquity are not Christian.
Yes modern scholars. The typical modern scholar of the bible believes the events really happened and the attributions are correct.
How much longer are you going to continue to use the circular logic of something is true because it is believed to be true and it is believed to be true because people believe that it is true?
Present evidence, not arguments from authority or No True Scotsmen. I can demonstrate vaccines work by data not be invoking some doctor who said something one time.
Scholars of antiquity, not Biblical scholars?
True Scotsmen, not regular Scotsmen
