In addition as you state the record keeping was poor so what evidence do we have to support the existence of the man referenced as Jesus Christ |
From what I read and learned earlier, there are firsthand accounts of Jesus. The problem is sorting out those "fake" Jesus' from the Christian Jesus. It's entirely ambiguous and frankly, up to each person's interpretation. Given the records of the time, there's so much in the open that it's not worth arguing on a forum.
You believe it or you don't. As I said earlier, I won't slight people for believing in something, even though I don't. That kind of comfort must be nice.
