Because there is reliable contemporary evidence for the existence of Ceasar

There is none for the existence of Jesus or other myths in the Bible.

Nice try, but bad comparison.

There are just as many historical texts and evidence to support the existence of Jesus as there is Caesar. It's actually a very good comparison and a valid one.
