Fabricated in the FOURTH century! Go back to the drawing board mate!
What would the purpose be of fabricating Jesus in the fourth century??
The Annals, XV: 44
So who were the Christians following for the first three centuries before Christ was fabricated?

Quote:Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilate, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, and the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular. Accordingly, an arrest was first made of all who pleaded guilty; then, upon their information, an immense multitude was convicted, not so much of the crime of firing the city, as of hatred against mankind. Mockery of every sort was added to their deaths. Covered with the skins of beasts, they were torn by dogs and perished, or were nailed to crosses, or were doomed by the flames and burnt, to serve as a nightly illumination, when daylight had expired.Tacitus AD 64
Nero offered his gardens for the spectacle, and was exhibiting a show in the circus, while he mingled with the people in the dress of a a charioteer or stood aloft on a car. Hence, even for criminals who deserved extreme and exemplary punishment, there arose a feeling of compassion; for it was not it seemed, for the public good, but to glut one man's cruelty, that they were being destroyed.

Even if the evidence for someone whose life roughly corresponded with the accounts in the Gospel, that's still no guarantee that he's God. Remember that people (even centuries after his birth) claimed that Alexander the Great was also literally the son of a God.All Greek rules were "gods". None of the previous Biblical prophets were "gods".
