teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

I trust they'll let us know when they find him. 

Hopefully before he's field-dressed.

The graph is wrong in at least two instances, neither Tacitus nor Josephus wrote about Yeshua. Both had later insertions which included passages about Yeshua in their works, written by christians.

The text from Tacitus describes the Christians and their beliefs. It does not deal with Jesus directly. It also is part of the narrative of Nero and fits into the  writings fairly well. I believe it is currently accepted as authentic.

The text from Josephus, on the other hand, is clearly an interpolation.

The texts of Pliny and Seutonius are also both about Christians, not directly about Jesus. Pliny is concerned about what to do with Christians that refuse to pay homage to the emperor (which was tantamount to treason at the time). he was trying to find a way to *not* end up putting them to death. Seutonius, like Tacitus, talks about the Christians and their beliefs, but has nothing directly about Jesus.
