"I see even CJ is now jumping onto that bandwagon."

Not really. As I have said before, I think Jesus existed. However, I am not aware of any source that wasn't a Christian.

In other words, none of the miracles before the multitudes had anyone who bothered to write it down.

Which sort of raises the possibility the miracles never happened.

"Funny how even "The Jesus Seminar" accepts the postulate that Jesus actually existed:"

Well, duh. They are biblical scholars. They base most of their opinion on the Gospels. If you click on the link "historical Jesus" and then "Historicity of Jesus" you find out that, well, all the sources are early Christians. All of the non-Christian sources only talk about early Christians.

So, bottom line. I think there was someone named "Jesus", or at least some reasonable translation of such. Given the lack of attention he drew during his lifetime in the Roman Empire, I am dubious about the miracles, which, at least some were supposed to be widely witnessed.
