Jesus Christ did exist. He was referenced in other historical texts of the time period. It's not a question of whether or not he existed, it's a question of whether or not what he was saying and teaching was the truth. It's like if I said that Caligula didn't exist because I didn't agree with his methods of dealing with things, it doesn't make him any less real, just because I can't see him now doesn't mean he didn't exist in the past. A proper way to state your post would be "I think that God and the dieties of the Christian religion are human constructs and non-existent." Because unlike Jesus, God isn't referenced as existing in other non-religious books. Of course, I wouldn't discount the informative nature of religious texts myself. They are great resources for historical information.
