DP I completely agree with your statement on this matter, for the benefit of Chapabel let me expound on why we don't have counter claims to the Jesus myth. It's called church suppression and it has been going on for ages, once the church had gained the backing of the Roman empire through the conversion of Constantine they set out to suppress all other religions and belief systems, surely this was also extended to documents that contradicted their doctrines and faith. They are known to have conducted book burnings and executions to all those that opposed their teachings. World dominance was one of the early churches agendas and they did everything possible to assert their place in history.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
