Josephus and other contemporaries on Jesus

[Amarok]

You should do some research! Josephus for instance does mention Jesus as per the OP

Obviously he can't.  He is desperate to believe in bullshit.

He'll just circle back to his phony atheist pal - you know, the jesus freak shithead.

Just a single reference would do; after all, if "his fame spread throughout the land", why did no dispassionate, neutral observers take notice?

I think the daily newspapers where on strike during that time!  Either that or they where controlled by the left and fake news.

You don't have to take my question seriously, that's fine.

I think that the reason is clear; Jesus of Nazareth was not significant, which is why no one of significance took notice of him.  He was just another religious loon of his day, which were a dime a dozen.

Be prepared for "they didn't have dimes back then, you so silly."

I think it’s reasonable that in his three year ministry, that writers a ways off, didn’t take notice, even if he did what has been witnessed to. In any case, there isn’t really a valid argument from silence to be had. And there are other significant figures, who the only records we have are from after their death. As Tim noted in his article. When you look at some who actually do create lists of writers at the time, many of the mentions are somewhat laughable. And many writings we only know of through reference, because they haven’t survived the ravages of time. However Christian writings which are quite detailed have survived, and do tell of the man whom Christians follow.

And, so, you accept the Gospel of Peter?
