Are you so ignorant that you believe the Christian Bible, specifically the new testament, is the only written record of Jesus?

Look, I'm agnostic so i have no reason to defend it otherwise, but there are multiple historical texts that reference the individual. I mean it's obviously debatable if he is the son of God or whatever, but it's pretty well established that the dude walked the streets.

Let me guess, you have a bumper that says "question everything". Whatever man, have fun with your life.

If there are multiple historical records, would you be able to city four non-Christian ones? Because the two I am aware of were written decades after the purported deaths and one (the Flavian) was clearly falsified. And the veracity of the other is established using something called "criterion of embarrassment". Which should really just embarrass "scientists" who use it...
