Objective evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ?

But I do recall a recent poster coming on here and  man-handling Min and some other mythers...


I think you may be missing the point.  No one here has said Jesus absolutely didn't exist on some level, I believe what most are saying is that there is not sufficient evidence to make the claim that you are trying to make.
Clearly, you want desperately for Jesus to have existed and are unwilling to concede even the smallest of his mythical attributes.  
You seem utterly determined to accept any and all ancient scribblings on the grounds that some unnamed person(s) of scholarly education may have found some circumstantial evidence that even he or she cannot prove.

If Jesus rode into the crowded city of Jerusalem while hundreds, if not thousands of people laid palm branches at his feet, why pray tell is there absolutely no record of this?  I'd say that's a pretty significant event.  The list goes on and on.  
You seem more caught up in the religious significance of Jesus' back story rather than actual events.
Prove those events took place on any historical level and I'll subliminally accept that jewish zombie right now (just kidding, I won't).  Until then, you are merely spouting the same old tired rhetoric:  "Why would they lie - it must be real."  It's a painfully weak position if you ask me.

But hey, messiahs always seem to need defenders. 
Just once, I'd like to see one that could stand on his own merits - complete with legitimate historical record and a halfway decent miracle.   Undecided
