Why are you all just asserting without evidence that, If Jesus existed, we would have contemporary accounts of him.
Is it so unlikely a claim that a person should exist and after his death people started telling big fish stories about him, like they do about most historical figures?
I'm surprised you all don't argue Socrates was made up by Plato and others. The whole case against Jesus is based on selective hairsplitting. Expert consensus is evidence for a claims likelihood. We go along with expert consensus all the time, because we don't have the time, resources, and expertise to do it all. The double standards at play are absurd.
I guess we can't believe scientists then.

Except that the majority of 'experts' used to believe in leeching, flat earth and a host of other things.
