Evidence of Jesus existence

@BritishFailedAesthetic "Google it" or "do your own research" is the response of a crank who doesn't cite his own sources because they're embarrassing or obviously biased. The fact is that there are no contemporary Roman records of Jesus. He isn't mentioned until at least a century later.

If you have links to contemporary Roman records of Jesus, cite them.

@LeopoldBloom Whoa, easy with the names.

@BritishFailedAesthetic What names? I have no respect for people who say "do your own research." If someone challenges your statement, you should be prepared to back it up with a citation. It's also insulting to tell someone to "do your own research" because it assumes that they haven't already.

The fact is that there are [b]no[/b] contemporary records of Jesus outside of the Bible. The only other records don't appear until at least a century later. That doesn't mean Jesus didn't exist, but it does cast doubt on the extraordinary acts attributed to him.

@LeopoldBloom Don't call me a fucking crank. Simple.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Then cite your sources instead of telling people to "look it up." That implies you either don't have any sources and are just being contrarian, or you know your sources are bogus and are ashamed to share them.

It's not that hard. What extra-Biblical, [b]contemporary[/b] records of Jesus exist?
