Then scholars all over the world will be glad to hear your absolute proof of his existence."Scholars" dont have an issue with the acknoweledgement of jesus.
The fact of the matter is the why it happened is less important than the fact that if one questions Jesus then everyone with less provenance of that time period also comes into question. Thats why "scholars" do not have issue with the existence of Jesus.
It would be like calling into question the existence of julius Caesar.
And while it's likely that a man called Jesus existed and was crucified, there's no way of knowing that the gospels are an accurate description of what he did.
Anyway, the point was not the existence of Jesus as much as your confirmation bias. Something that you haven't addressed on this whole thread. Even if you say the contrary. Because if you did in a rational way, we wouldn't be here asking you about it.

Tell you what mate, he hasn't.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
