Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!

RE: Challenge to atheists: I find your lack of faith disturbing!
A guy named Yeshua (which should actually translate as Joshua by the way) lived around the time of 0-30 CE and was crucified by the Romans for blasphemy and heresy. So what? This is almost certainly true. Who cares? The following no more proves he was god or the son of god than the existence of any other crucified man/woman/child did around the same time (they liked to do that, both crucifying and killing people for heresy).

Also, the earliest of the gospel was almost certainly Mark and could have been written no earlier than 70CE because of its inclusion of the burning of the temple (which burned in 70CE), so this:

"This is written within living memory of Christ. I would point out that by all know accounts, Paul is indeed martyred by no later than 67 AD."

is just bullshit. No one who met the guy named Yeshua who is purported to be Jesus the son of God, ever wrote anything down. No one who heard his sermons wrote a fucking word. Including about his resurrection at the time. Which is really odd since:

Matthew 27:52-53

"and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many."

a bunch of dead people got up with him and supposedly went into the city. You would kind of expect that sort of thing to make waves.
