The only thing scholars agree on is that he was baptized and he was killed. Nothing in between is supported, it is all fairy tale. All the miracles, bullshit.

Who cares if some mentally ill man 2,000 years ago created some fucked up cult based on the lie that his mother didn't cheat on his father and get pregnant. If I could go back in time I would murder Jesus to save us from the Christofascism we are facing today

A better way to put it is that the consensus is that a historical figure named Jesus, upon whom the biblical figure is based, did in fact exist. The actual details of his life are almost entirely unknown apart from, as you say, a few key events for which we have multiple credible sources. We have a better read on his teachings, but even that's not entirely clear since a lot of the gospels contradict one another and can be interpreted in many different ways.

There’s really not much evidence that he existed at all. Likely just stories borrowed from another religion.
