Did Jesus exist?

[athrock]

The history of a man named Jesus? There are several, as you know. 

However, Tacitus tells that a man put to death by Pontius Pilate had followers who were called "Chrxstianos".

What a coincidence. The Book of Acts tells us pretty much the same thing.

Actually, that passage was entirely unknown until it was claimed by Sulpicius Severus in the early 5th century.  No Christian apologist prior to that ever claimed anything about that passage supposedly written by Tacitus.  It is widely thought to be a fraud, just like the passage in Josephus' Jewish Antiquities.

So, not only is all of the Bible a fairy tale, but every non-Biblical source that might possibly corroborate anything in the Bible is a forgery?
