   OK, asshole, then I assume you are able to provide a source, outside of the   
   Bible, than clearly and unmistakably mentions Jesus and any of his alleged   
   miracles, any part of his life and anything about his death. The source must   
   be contemporary, i.e. scrolls written some hundred years later do not count.   
   Likewise, any texts describing Christianity and/or the followers of Jesus do   
   not count.   
   The Romans were almost as fanatical about keeping records as the lunatic   
   Nazis were some 2000 years later, yet nowhere is Jesus mentioned in any of   
   the contemporary Roman texts.   
   I'm all ears.
