*************you're a myth....
M*W: Well, if not a myth, maybe a legend... Yeah, that's the ticket... I'm a legend in my own mind.
my bro, the atheist, says that jesus' existence was documented in sanskrit and non-religious writings about the time.
you decide.
that same could be said of any and all history books you have in your possession.

I don't think many people really want to know the truth. But in the end, does it matter? And the answer to that is, no. It really doesn't matter. What matters is that one lives the moral values taught in the Gospels (e.g. The Golden Rule, Lessons on the Mount, etc.).

Evidence? (As to these documents exisitng...)
you sound a bit paranoid.
Or you're awfully predictable.
Have you read these? There's Josephus (who was discussed above). Some mention Christians but not Jesus himself. The others are totally irrelevant.
I guess we believe in different gods.
'Lucian (circa 120-after 180) mentions Jesus. Greek writer and rhetorician.
"The Christians, you know, worship a man to this day the distinguished personage who introduced their novel rites, and was crucified on that account. . . ."
don't you think "christ" is implicit in "christian"?
and why aren't the others relevant?
then what's the point?
isn't this really just an excuse not to act like one, and treat everyone else like one?
I was asking for historical accounts of Jesus... not Christians. Can you not distinguish between the two? (I'll give you a clue... One is a man, the other is a movement.)
you could apply some deductive reasoning regarding the movement and the man.
