Actually, the stories about Jesus or the sayings attributed to him where written several generations after he died. No historical artifacts of Jesus exist. Now you know.Trust, but verify is easy to do with stuff written by men. I can always look for another source to corroborate what one man wrote. It's a little harder to do when the only source that backs up the Bible is the Bible.
The fact that you are unaware of other sources in no way proves that other sources do not exist. To put this in perspective, there is more historical evidence for the life and crucifixion of Jesus than there is for the Gallic Wars won by Julius Caesar. If you actually apply the standards you claim to have you would put more faith in the Bible than you do Caesar's Commentaries.
that would be a killer argument if it were true.....kinda sucks for you that it isn't.......
