What is the historical evidence for Jesus?

Anyone else find it odd that God was once so very active, whats he done of late?

Civilization is such a small amount of time compared to the age of the Universe or even Earth. So even then, God hasn't done much in his entire existence (lets assume that god is needed for us to exist).
I don't really care that much about this god thing, reality is much more of a mind ****. Stuff like 11 dimensions and the size of the universe blow my mind more than the concept of god.

It's all totally legit.

google about easter stuff said:
Attis was simply the latest manifestation of earlier resurrection myths, like those of Osiris, Orpheus, Tammuz and Dionysus, who were likewise said to have been born of virgins and resurrected three days after their deaths. In areas where Christian beliefs later took hold, these already existing tales were grafted onto the story of Jesus Christ, and continue to be retold to this day. It seems that ever since the dawn of civilization, ancient peoples have always associated spring with rebirth and resurrection, with nature’s reawakening after the “death” of barren winter, and have further embodied the concept in the person of a god or goddess.

Attis was the "cycle" before Jesus.


There is similar stuff around about how early christianity hijacked other existing festivals to build up the followers.

I'm anti religion guff, we had it forced down our throats without explanation at primary school, preached too constantly at secondary school (the rev. who taught the RE lessons topped himself when he was outed as a kiddy fiddler), it's always been inflicted on me, never been given the chance to build my own views.

The guy who christened my youngest two a few months ago was awesome, if i'd had somebody with his sort of belief and enthusiasm, maybe i'd have different view.
 
None contemporaneous with Jesus but some mention shortly after his death (mentioning followers of Christ rather than Jesus himself).
 
None, its all poppycock.

Apparently, some weak minded humans decided they needed a reason to be alive. Also some super being to guide them and who they could follow.

I don't know back then without knowledge and internet many would be scared of the unknown. These days if you have a brain it's easy to see 'the light',

as in it's bs.
