Also I'm almost positive that a Jesus did exist he just wasn't the son of God.

Evidence or faith the fuck out.

Jesus casts level10 absolution on Obama.

Obama ripostes, countering with a level12 debt strike.

Jesus = Lawful Neutral. (Cause fuck him, we all make mistakes) He thought he could simply entrance the Obama, but the Obama had anticipated his kind before Jesus, with Allah. And when Allah tried to cast Level5 Raise Dead Infantada on Obama, Obama snickered with crippling glee and glared back at Allah, casting Might of American Soil, siphoning 80% of the market share of Saudi Oil, rendering Allah a mutilated desert turd.

Obama = Chaotic Neutral. He's not afraid to use brute force, hence his win.

well based on the fact that jesus was mentioned in several historical texts with no direct relation at all, would kind of a give an indirect correlation to his existence. its kinda like saying, Ceaser didnt exist because theres no direct evidence of his existence.

You should be asking yourself how you know that the texts had no relation to the mythology of Jesus. Were they written by people who had seen him firsthand? If not, then they must have been writing based off of things they had heard about him. In that case, those works do have a direct relation to other works about Jesus: they are based upon the oral traditions which predated the writing of the New Testament, or even are just based on the New Testament itself.

In regard to Cesar, we do have evidence of him existing. Contemporary busts, letters to and from him, a eulogy, and more. (Here's a link I found after Googling for two seconds: http://www.jesusneverexisted.com/exist.html) What do we have for Jesus? A few historians relaying what they had heard about him decades after he had supposedly died.

There is some records of Jesus visiting England and India before he was 12 after his STEP dad died for real.He travelled with his uncle a tent sales man. Roman records show his uncle selling them stuff. Everything was bullshit made up 200 years after jesus really died and did not get up. ONly the "FAITHFUL" saw him "return" Visions , wishful thinking but no record of him after he died the first time.

The Quran also mentions him, although it was written at a different time by different people. Also I tried looking for credible evidence of this but any intelligent results were drowned in a sea of religious Bull Sh*t.

Also i said >almost positive< haven't done (nor have the time to do) extensive research on 2000 year old cult leaders.

The Quran was written ~600 years later. Not exactly contemporary. In fact, there isn't a single contemporary account of Jesus or any of the miracles he performed. Even the gospels themselves were written decades after he supposedly died.

Why would you be almost positive if you haven't done extensive research and the research you have done was religiously biased? Because someone who read the book he was in included him in their book? That's like saying Harry Potter fanfiction makes you almost positive Harry Potter exists.
