You said that he wasn't a real person but a mythical character, so where is YOUR proof.

1) The onus of proof is always on the claimant.

peterson claimed that Jesus was a mythical character, so where is his proof?

Again, although I expect the concept is forever beyond you, the claim
that Jesus is mythical is not one disputed by any historians, because
that simply follows from the definition of "mythical". The
controversial assertion is that he's substantially fictional as well.
That is, that the Jesus of the bible is substantially unrelated to any
historical person. I don't personally assert that to be true, I only
say I believe it likely given the complete lack of contemporary
evidence of his existence, when in fact such evidence should exist
given the biblical claims about him.
