As it stands you have to maintain that every historian who states Jesus existed and was crucified under Pontius Pilate is somehow wrong and you are somehow right, you, a man posting on an atheist website with zero credentials.
I will trust them, and leave you to your futile efforts of denial....
Do you really want to be playing this game?
Alright, then: how many historians state that we have sufficient evidence to believe that not only did Jesus exist, but that he was god and performed the miracles claimed in the bible? Go on, I'll wait; how many can you find that won't fall back on faith, and will professionally make the claim that this is literally true based upon the evidence we currently have?
