What is The Atheist Experience?
The Atheist Experience is a weekly cable access television show in Austin, Texas, geared at an atheist and non-atheist audience. The Atheist Experience is produced by the Atheist Community of Austin (ACA), a nonprofit educational corporation to develop and support the atheist community, to provide opportunities for socializing and friendship, to promote secular viewpoints, to encourage positive atheist culture, to defend the first amendment principle of state-church separation, to oppose discrimination against atheists and to work with other organizations in pursuit of common goals.

@CPTBlackDragon07 It's also worth mentioning that Christians have made popular sport out of attempting to locate biblical names in ancient documents and then claiming they speak of the biblical characters, without any real evidence to make that connection.
What we have evidence for is Christians,, and their beliefs, but that is not the issue here. What they are saying is that there are no contemporary non-biblical reports about anything related to any concrete thing Jesus did

@CPTBlackDragon07 "Even His crucifixion under the Romans. Better learn your History!"
If you're talking about Tacitus, then you are making vast amounts of assumptions. Nothing suggests that what he is saying about Jesus being crucified is anything but him relating relating the beliefs of the Christians he tortured. There's certainly not any evidence of Romans records about executions in Palestine existing in Rome.

@CPTBlackDragon07 "Actually there are MANY documents of Jesus such as Flavious Josephus, Pilate, and records of King Herod the Great. I earned a BA in Social Sciences where i studied political science and history, and let me tell you all something: Jesus THE Christ was recorded"
They should obviously have given you a failing grade. Look up Josephus birth date and tell us all again how he could have been reporting anything but hearsay.

Actually there are MANY documents of Jesus such as Flavious Josephus, Pilate, and records of King Herod the Great. I earned a BA in Social Sciences where i studied political science and history, and let me tell you all something: Jesus THE Christ was recorded. Even His crucifixion under the Romans. Better learn your History! Oh, and by the way; Paul who wrote most of the New Testament through his Epistles (Letters) was a Pharisee (a Jewish Religious Leader).
