I don't think you understand basic logic. The burden is on you to prove that "Jesus Christ" existed. You're asserting that something existed, therefore you have to prove it. I don't have to prove anything.

However, what I can do is show lots of evidence that Jesus is a composite character cobbled together from previous Jewish prophets(Elijah and Elisha) and various Greco-Roman mystery savior cult motifs. The probability that "Jesus Christ" is a mythical character is extremely high.
