David, "No contemporary Jewish historians mention Jesus either (disregarding the acknowledged forgery in Josephus)."? Just Google "non Christian witnesses to Jesus's existence"; there are multiple 1st and 2nd century verifications that Jesus existed from sources (though not necessarily Jewish sources) hostile to Christianity, totally aside from Josephus (and if one looks at the issue of Josephus' supposed comments on Jesus, there's a high likelihood that Josephus made comments which were later modified as to who Jesus was, but not on the base issue of him having existed). The real issue is you not wanting to deal with the claims and teachings of Christ, and trying to do that by pretending he didn't even exist, but that isn't going to work.
