The problem with the historicity of Jesus is that the vast majority of the authors are Christian and his existence removes their objectivity.
That makes no sense - "his existence removes their objectivity".
quote:
There are no (zero) contemporary articles of Jesus. That means that the entire time he was going around raising people from the dead, being the son of God and getting crucified: Not a single person mentioned him.
Or tweeted about him, or made friends with him on facebook. Didn't realize a lot of "contemporary articles" were written back in the day. Good to know.
quote:
coins, no bust, no paintings, no articles/writings, no mention whatsoever.
Please explain why they would make coins, statues, paintings, busts, etc., of someone they considered a criminal and then crucified? Was making coins, busts, paintings, etc., what they did for criminals back in the day - after they wrote articles on them?
Me thinks your bias is showing.

What he means by contemporary is articles written about Jesus in his time. Articles contemporary to him, as opposed to shite written 100 years after he died.

They are Christians, Christians believe in Christ. A scholar who writes about Christ while simultaneously being Christian necessitates his existence.

Contemporary as in his own time period, inference exists.

He performed many miracles and traveled with twelve disciples. You don't find it the least bit intriguing that none of them wrote anything about him? None of them painted, inscribed, carried, wrote (if they were literate) ANY article (item)? That the Romans, who were known for keeping detailed records with many scholars, didn't write anything about this miracle criminal?
Come on man, please use your head.
