Since there is no contemporary evidence of Jesus, I'm sure you're right. There is no one like Jesus. Well, perhaps Sherlock Holmes or Jack the RIpper.
Although, you leave us hanging. You mention it's time to make a right decision, but you don't indicate WHY it's a right decision.
Considering that Jesus loves everyone and wouldn't dream of people going to Hell, why would he allow people to go to Hell? What does this salvation really earn you? Surely not an avoidance of Hell. If Jesus loves us, we aren't going to Hell anyway.

Go get a book called "Why the Jews Rejected Jesus". Sit down and read it. Consider it a favor.
And then actually read the Old Testament. Get a Jewish bible - not a Christian one. Really read the Law - and then compare it to what Paul claimed. Read the supposed quotes that Paul used - and compare them to their sources. I can tell you right now they don't match.
And then find where it says that blood sacrifice was the only way to be forgiven of sins. I can tell you that no where in the OT does it say this. In fact Jews had to ask for forgiveness of all intentional sins. Which is why they do not need to do sacrifices now without the temple. They can ask God to forgive them. If animal sacrifice was the only way - don't you think they would still be doing it.
Read Paul's claims that no one can fulfill the Law. And then read Luke's description of John the Baptist's parents. In Deut 31 it says that God gave humans the Law that they may do it. It is not a burden, a jail, but a gift from God. It does not grant salvation - but through faith it leads one in God's will.
Though I doubt you will do any of this. Which is why Christians always make me so sad. I wish I could show you all who God actually is - not what you've been told. That there is no rift - that you can all be right with God without becoming Jewish. That's what the covenant with Noah is all about.

Mi: Your dogmatic approach to having unbelievers think that NOW is the "only time" to "receive Jesus" is somewhat, questionable ! What would become of all those in the Old Testament - under THAT covenant or contract ? Are they "doomed" because Jesus Christ wasn't made available to all of them people ? The Bible does not say anywhere, that those people are condemned ! Much to the contrary - they will have their chance at salvation later - after the return of Jesus Christ to this earth.

Jesus was just a religious leader. I recommend you to the right decision and do some real research out side of the bible. Do it now before you waist you time on earth.
