There's not? What about the enormous number of writings attesting to his existence? What evidence do we have that Plato existed? How about evidence for Socrates?
You had best read Richard Carrier's On the Historicity of Jesus and find out how fucking wrong you are.
There is no contemporary evidence for your godboy. Zero. We have later writings written by believers.
Tell me, Lek. If you go to a copy machine with a piece of paper and make 10,000 copies of it does that improve the reliability of the content? Because that is what you have when you repeat that silly mantra. Copies of copies of copies ad nauseam. But it all boils down to one story: what is now called the gospel of "mark." The rest of it is deviations on the theme of the original.
And before you start in with the 'paul' shit, remember that paul doesn't know anything at all about that story.
