Stop trolling in my forum. Make your points without the attitude.

Every historical claim about any era or aspect of history is hearsay unless there are physical pieces of evidence that survived to this day, and even then, still hearsay.

How would a book called "My life as a carpenter" by Jesus of Nazareth that is 2000 years old be any more "convincing" to your standards, than Paul writing about his personal experiences with Jesus 40 years after the fact? Anybody could have written that book, anybody could have slapped a made up name on it, and yet this is what you're insisting is necessary to support his existance?

It will be far more likely in 2000 years, that people analyzing the historical record from our day will think Mickey Mouse existed, than will think Grandiagod existed, and you really do exist.
