ORLY?
I was a Christian minister, with Biblical Training, and believe me, none of my College Profs, who were of the Evangelical/Pentecostal type even claimed that! They are a hell of a lot smarter than you. Fact is, there are very, very few extra-Biblical references to Jesus. Personally, I have no problem believing that a carpenter named Jesus of Nazareth existed.
I have no problem believing that he became an itinerant preacher, and that he reached a message of peace. As far as the miracles go? We cannot verify those. Even if Jesus did do all of those things, he was still a far more tolerant man than you ass wipes. I'm sure if Jesus were to walk into your churches, you lot would be the first to scream for him to be crucified. It was the religious leaders of his day that wanted him dead. Judging by your bigotry and intolerance, nothing has changed.
If he were alive today, I'm sure he'd have no qualms about coming out with me for a drink at my fave gay water hole.
BTW, here are the overwhelming numbers of extra-Biblical accounts of Jesus you could not find:
Following is a list of extra-biblical (outside of the Bible) references of biblical events, places, etc. The list is not exhaustive but is very representative of what is available.
1. Flavius Josephus (AD 37?-101?, a Jewish historian) mentions John the Baptist and Herod - Antiquities, Book 18, ch. 5, par. 2
2. Flavius Josephus (AD 37?-101?) mentions Jesus - Antiquities, Book 18, ch. 3, par. 3.
A. There is debate among scholars as to the authenticity of this quote since it is so favorable to Jesus. For more information on this, please see Regarding the quotes from the historian Josephus about Jesus
3. Flavius Josephus (AD 37?-101?) mentions James, the brother of Jesus - Antiquities, Book 20, ch. 9.
4. Tacitus (A.D. c.55-A.D. c.117, Roman historian) mentions "Christus" who is Jesus - Annals 15.44
5. Pliny the Younger mentioned Christ. Pliny was governor of Bithynia in Asia Minor. Pliny wrote ten books. The tenth around AD 112.
6. The Talmud
1. "On the eve of the Passover Yeshu was hanged. For forty days before the execution took place, a herald went forth and cried, "He is going forth to be stoned because he has practiced sorcery and enticed Israel to apostasy. Any one who can say anything in his favor, let him come forward and plead on his behalf." But since nothing was brought forward in his favor he was hanged on the eve of the Passover!"
7. Lucian (circa 120-after 180) mentions Jesus. Greek writer and rhetorician.
None of these individuals ever met Jesus, they mentioned the fact that he had followers who believed him to be the Messiah
