Did Jesus exist?

[Pat Mustard]

There is no historical fact that a guy named jesus lived and the damning fact of the matter is no one has the birth date of the guy 
no has evidence of mary.

Tacitus was a careful Roman historian.  Considering the synoptic sources, Q, the Gospel of John, the writings of Paul and the other New Testament authors (most of whom are unknown), it is an extraordinary "leap of faith" to say that there was not a certain personage, an epileptic preacher with delusions of grandeur, Jesus of Nazareth.

And Tacitus didn't mention Jesus once in all his extant writings. He did mention a cult of chrestus to which the blame for the burning of rome was laid. Some of the older manuscripts shoe christus in their current forms, but all that have been examined have shown that the original e was rubbed out and repaced with an i. Now chrestus could mean jesus, but the problemvthere is that the name/nickname chrestus was so common in the early Principate that we cannot know.
