    James Cameron did a national geographic documentary proving the guy existed. They found his ostuary. Which fits the time period. It was some astronomically absurd chance that it wasn’t him. Since everyone in the tomb had the family names of all of his relatives. Something like it was a 1 in 10 million chance that it wasn’t the nuclear family’s buried remains.

      That is hilariously untrue, have you any idea how big that news would be? They don’t even know if Arimathea was a real place, we certainly don’t know about Jesus family - none of them are mentioned outside the limited references in the Bible

          The very first sentence in Wikipedia describes it as pseudoarchaeological docudrama. Got to love it.

          Why does your sky zombie hate you so much he gives you such bad evidence?

            I don’t believe in the Bible lol

            But the historical figure existed. It’s not an amalgamation of fantasy. He was likely nothing like his imagery in pop culture.

                  Ok so if you don’t believe in the Bible what is your source of information that he existed?

                  You are making the claim it is on you to defend it. If I say unicorns exist I have to provide evidence for it not demand that other people defend every single aspect of their life.

                  So what is the source for your claim for Jesus given that you have thrown out already pretty much all the evidence we have?

                    My claim is that someone found something archeology that coincides with the history. I claim that Socrates or Cleopatra exist too. I don’t subscribe to her seducing men. I can separate the historical likely from the myths created around them.
