Objective evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ?

Actually that point is quite obvious and clearly I'm saying that I disagree.

You must be either delusional or dishonest, neither of which really deserve much of a response. Go back and reread my posts so that you can see how completely wrong you are. I did say there is mythology in the narratives, and I'll qualify that further: there's a lot.

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.
The records we have don't disappear simply because you choose to ignore them. And saying that any given testimonial to an event is probably unreliable is not the same as saying all of them are, or that Jesus ceases to be historical because most of what is said about him may not be.

Is it your reading comprehension, or your basic use of logic here, that utterly sucks? What does "the religious significance of Jesus" have to do with ANYTHING? That's a rhetorical question by the way.

That's logical.
