No, I have yet to hear a great case for mythicism, though Richard Carrier may be in the process of writing the first. But I do think that we know almost nothing about Jesus with any confidence. Basically, there was probably some Jewish prophet who was baptized by John the Baptist and killed by the Romans, and that’s about all we know with any confidence.

I’d appreciate it if you’d let me know if you get around to assessing this. My belief (i.e., Jesus probably existed) is currently the same as yours and Vladimir_M’s but I believe muflax finds Carrier persuasive.
