I guess my answer would have to be settled in the ring but honestly my money is on Thor dude is bad ass.
But in all honesty because no historical data supports jesus.
More interestingly common sense. Tell you what, if a dude walked on water or raised the dead today, I promise you that would be WORLD WIDE within hours, non-believers would believe and people be writing all this down, documentation from here to china.
But there is no documentation outside the bible that isn't fake.
There are historical records of Jesus and his crucifixion outside of Biblical references.
It's very easy to find, try google or Wikipedia. Here I've done a search for you.

Don't always take what you read to be absolute truth, research a bit more. Equally do not go into anything with your mind made up and looks for ways to justify that, keep an open mind and be prepared to adjust your point of view, you will be a more balanced Buddhist for it.
