Where did the Jesus myth come from?

[FallentoReason]

There's plenty of evidence for the historicity of Jesus.
There's plenty of evidence that people who came into contact with Him actually believed they had seen miracles.

The atheist can try to argue those people were mistaken in what they saw but not... that there was never anything to see.

This again...

Show us evidence for Jesus' existence. Let me get you started: no contemporary mentions. On top of that, Philo who was a contemporary Jewish says nothing about him.

Philo's writings foreshadow Christian ideas in many ways
Almost all of the works of Philo are preserved
Some of Philo's writings may have been used by the authors of the Gospels
Philo's life perfectly spans the supposed life of Jesus
Philo was a community leader and active in the social movements of his day
Philo reported on the political and religious events of his day
Philo provides the only contemporary account of Pontius Pilate in all of ancient literature
Philo personally knew several of the historical figures in the Jesus story
Philo would surely have written about someone like "Jesus Christ" if he had known of him

The perfect man for the job has nothing to say about Jesus. There's another 4-5 contemporaries like Philo that I know of who also were the perfect candidates but say nothing. This should be enough for you to chew on for now.
