I've checked up on every piece of evidence someone has presented to me for the existence of a man called Jesus, and not one piece could be deemed credible evidence for his existence.
Forged letters between pilate and Tiberius, distorted translations of text that Josephus had copied from someone else in the year 92CE, inaccurate accounts by Tacitus (which mentions a 'Christus' not 'Jesus')......the list goes on.
Of the scholars of the era, Josephus is the only one credited with any mention, yet both instances are not in any way reliable as evidence. http://members.aol.com/fljosephus/testimonium.htm & also http://www.atheists.org/christianity/didjesusexist.html
Some mention Pliny the younger, yet he mentioned christians, not Jesus.
So with the severe lack of evidence, is it not possible that the whole story is such a gross exaggeration, of what may have happened, that it is probably basicly a story of a legendary guy who never even existed?
