Roman records record the event of the crucifixtion.
Don't get me wrong, we are all free to choose if we will believe that Jesus was the son of God, but to question the existance on the earth of the man, Jesus seems absurd.

Frankly, given zero evidence to support your position, it seems absurd to believe it.
As I said in my post above, unlike Cheese who's an atheist, I'm merely finding the investigation interesting. I also assumed that Jesus was an actual historic figure but really, why would I these days?
In fact, he's a mythical figure and I find the court challenge to be exceptionally interesting.
You will see this story take off on a global basis once word gets out and the trial starts.
