For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
RE: For People Who Think There Was No Historical Jesus
Well, this whole "Jesus bar Joseph" thing is hard since any name that Christians fine with a yud-shin-ayin root they go "THAT is Jesus!!!". because even the Church fathers struggled with a name/ While the most likely would be "Yeshua" (not Yashua, please), it was a corrupt form of the Joshua that appears in the Book of Ezra, so it was probably not such an uncommon name. But I have seen peope go "ga ga" over "Yohushua", "Hoshea" and other variants.

But the fact is that not a single person who lived at the time seems to have noticed the dead rising from their graves and interacting with the townspeople, or the curtain of the Temple tearing itself in half, and all of the other things. Nobody. Nada. They write that Pontius Pilate was a jerk and tried to sack the Temple treasury, but don't mention thousands of babies massacred by Herod, while speaking a lot about herod doing other atrocities.

It's a story, people! Voldemort is not real! No matter how many wands you keep looking for, you won't find his!
