I think Avinash's Wii 2015 prediction is more believable than Jesus not existing.

Well you're welcome to that belief, however that doesn't refutemy point that there is no certainty of his existence, only stories, legends and second hand accounts

But actually there is relatively high certainty of his existence, it's just that you're setting standards unreasonably high.  Second hand accounts are not to be sneered at unless there is a reason to think they are inaccurate.  You have not adequately justified the level of skepticism you are applying to the Roman accounts' accuracy. 

The fact that there is not OVERWHELMING evidence is consistent with a figure of that era who was not all that famous during his own lifetime. 

(And a novelist writing flaws into a "heroic main character" isn't the same as a priest writing flaws into his savior.)

 

 Depends on who the heoric character is.

 

Also i'm not setting unreasonably high expectations, and there is no certainty of him existing, sorry but second hand accounts by people who never met the guy is not certainty.  Second hand accounts won't fly in a court room, and they don't fly on internet discussion boards, would you really say that a guy saying that he heard from another person that all the PS3's in a certain state wereall sold out yesterday is a certainty, or would you want some actual proof?  Somenting official?  I'm not sneering at the second hand accounts, however I am pointing out that they are not enough, I need to have something official, show me a certificate of birth or a certificiate of death, or even a work order for the construction of the crucifix for a one Jesus Christ and then we can talk certainty.
