The Three-Headed "Jesus" Problem

Though since I will be viewed as having a presupposition bias, maybe you would prefer an atheist historians view on the subject who has done even far more research than I have.

Hearsay on top of hearsay on top of hearsay, isn't evidence of jesus's existence. As Min wrote, check your primary sources of this information, and maybe reevaluate, especially looking at the timeframe when these people lived.

Then, maybe check out some of the contradictions in the gospels, including when jesus's birth took place. Jesus was born during the reign of Herod and when Quinirius was governor of Syria (two different periods of time). If your primary sources can't even agree on his birth, how can you definitively say that he existed, especially with absolutely nothing from the period of time when he was supposedly alive?
