Ok, and please don't ignore this request at all, because otherwise it means you're not interested in an honest discussion. In which book and page does Ehrman say Tacitus' remark about the Christians is solid support for Jesus' existence?
More importantly, why does he say it provides solid evidence. The reasons are the important thing. Otherwise all you have is an appeal to authority.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
