Objective evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ?

[robvalue]

In my opinion, it's hopeless.

Those who push for a histrocial jesus have, as far as I have heard, managed about this much:

A dude called jesus/yeshua
Brother called James who got stoned to death
Jesus crucified

There's a couple of other possible things, but the evidence is sketchy already and it only gets worse.

Bottom line, there's not enough (in my opinion) to pin down one particular person in history. What's known about him, if it's even accurate, is really vague. And even if he "existed" there's no evidence that he did or said barely anything attributed to him.

My opinion: he is a myth. Saying he's "based on" a real person, if there was one, is like saying Gandalf is based on some old dude with a beard.

The first and best source outside the bible contains a massive christian forgery. Haha!
