I believe that Jesus existed but I don't really believe that he was the son of god. It's impossible to know who Jesus really was as the records of him in the bible have been altered and covered-up by the church throughout the centuries. In my mind he could have been either some crazy street-preacher that led the fickle people into believing he was the son of god or a really intelligent philosopher who had a genuinely good vision of how mankind should live their life.
The early Christians could have taken his philosophy as a way of life and portrayed Jesus as the son of god and the messiah just to win more converts.
