Ted, let me put it this way. Most of those who deny Jesus' existence place a very high standard on the proof of his existence, much higher than, say, the proof that any of the Roman Caesars ever existed. The only justification for such a double standard is formed on the basis of this statement, "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence."

The only problem is that these particular skeptics can't separate the extraordinary claim of Jesus' Lordship from the mundane claim that Jesus existed as a real human being. Most non-believers can, which is why they have no trouble believing that Jesus existed, even if they don't believe he really is the son of God. To me, that's more objective than those who feel a need to deny Jesus' very existence, perhaps IMO because they're either desperate or they just want to stick it to those "Jesus freaks."
