    The problem with all of this “evidence” is that Christians don’t want to officially recognize any of it because it proves Jesus or Joseph as he was probably called. Was just a normal guy.

      I am still waiting for the evidence. We have Paul who didn’t see anything, despite being in the area when it all supposedly went down, we have him call into question the credibility of the eyewitnesses, and despite spend decades with Christians only seems to know 11 facts about Jesus. Then we get complete silence for 50 years and an off-hand mention of the some hearsay by a man who believed in a literal Adam and Eve as historical fact.

      Meanwhile every single part of the Jesus con is found in the stories and history that was around at the time. It is a hacky unoriginal derivative work with all of the evidence conveniently missing.

      His name was Joshua, or Yeshua, not Joseph. Joseph was his father’s name. Jesus is the Greek version of the Hebrew name Joshua or Yeshua
