Why did pagans not take any notice of Jesus?

[Jehanne]

I doubt that even aliens would find that joke to be funny.

Darth Vader didn't wear fishnets either.

How can I hurt a fictional being?

Maybe they did not believe him because they recognized his "miracles" to be a sham, a dime-a-dozen so-called "miracle workers" in 1st century Palestine?

  Proof they thought it was a sham, there's no indication they were believed to be shames by those who rejected Him, as a matter of fact He healed people known to others to be ill and cured of that particular illness.

Who claimed this, though?  Answer:  2nd or 3rd generation, Greek speaking Christians who were scattered throughout the Diaspora.

According to Professor Bart Ehrman, Lecture 10, in his New Testament Great Courses series, modern scholars possess hundreds of pagan (non-Christian, non-Jewish) sources from the 1st century.  Why is it that none of these sources even mention the existence of Jesus?

None of these pagan sources mention Pilate either, or hardly any jewish religious figures at the time like Elder Hillel, or any of the other numerous messiah claimants strung up by Rome.   

Why?

Perhaps because writing was an expensive enterprise, so why waste it writing about irrelevant figures, or on news reports that have no real importance to the pagan communities? Their lack of mentioning of any of above mentioned figures, reveals their lack of interest in doing so.

They knew religious cranks when they saw or heard about them; as you state, such were a dime-a-dozen in first century Palestine.
