One thing you guys have to take into account is the fact that the catholic church did a lot of book burning throughout it's early period well into the last millenium. To me it seems convenient that very little evidence about Jesus the person exists whereas the bulk of what does exist depicts the divine savior as opposed to the 33 year old virgin carpenter.
"In our youth, we lacked the maturity, the decency to create gods better than ourselves so that we might have something to aspire to. Instead we are left with a host of deities who were violent, narcissistic, vengeful bullies who reflected our own values. Our gods could have been anything we could imagine, and all we were capable of manifesting were gods who shared the worst of our natures."-Me
"Atheism leaves a man to sense, to philosophy, to natural piety, to laws, to reputation; all of which may be guides to an outward moral virtue, even if religion vanished; but religious superstition dismounts all these and erects an absolute monarchy in the minds of men." – Francis Bacon
