Objective evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ?

When pressed they invent bullshit stories like "Q" but no one has ever seen so much as a fragment of any such work.  With the mania that later xtian scribes preserved what they considered early writings why do we not see such zeal in the first century?
That's not true. There are a number of Pauline epistles, one or more Gospels, the letter to the Hebrews, and extra-biblical documents that can be dated to the first century with little controversy, and there's plenty of reasons for historians to think that oral traditions preceded the literary forms.
