The so called evidence is too weak to prove a Jesus Christ existed IMO.
There is no verifiable proof.

Per the ideals of the thread, I believe that there is sufficient evidence for the existence of a man named Jesus. His existence is usually a given, seeing as how he has been named in numerous religious texts. It's usually his works that are brought into question, not his mere existence, so this seems like a step backwards to me.
I am far from a troll. Just because my beliefs differ from your's does not mean I am trolling. Thanks for trying though.

Since when do religious texts count as evidence? The Gospel accounts are no more historical than any other myth in the history of the world.
