Extra biblical (Non-Christian) writings verifying Jesus existence:

Josephus:

"At this time there was a wise man who was called Jesus. And his conduct was good, and he was known to be virtuous. And many people from among the Jews and the other nations became his disciples. Pilate condemned him to be crucified and to die. And those who had become his disciples did not abandon his discipleship. They reported that he had appeared to them after his crucifixion and that he was alive; accordingly, he was perhaps the Messiah concerning whom the prophets have recounted wonders." (Arabic summary, presumably of Antiquites 18.63. From Agapios Kitab al-Unwan)

Tacitus:

"Consequently, to get rid of the report (Fire in Rome), Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from who the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilateus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the word find their center and become popular." Annals, book xv (Tacitus, A, 15.44)

Pliny the Younger:

"They were in the habit of meeting on a certain fixed day before it was light, when they sang in alternate verses a hymn to Christ, as to a god, and bound themselves by a solemn oath, not to do any wicked deeds, but never to commit any fraud, theft or adultery, never to falsify their word, nor deny a trust when they should be called upon to deliver it up; after which it was thief custom to separate, and then reassemble to partake of food but food of an ordinary and innocent kind." (Pliny the younger, Letters, 10:96)

Lucian of Somosa:

"The Christians, you know, worship a man to this day the distinguished personage who introduced their novel rites, and was crucified on that account You see, these misguided creatures start with the general conviction that they are immortal for all time, which explains the contempt of death and voluntary self-devotion which are so common among them; and then it was impressed on them by their original lawgiver that they are all brothers, from the moment that they are converted and deny the gods of Greece, and worship the crucified sage, and live after his laws. All this they take quite on faith, with the result that they despise all worldly goods alike, regarding them merely as common property." (Lucian of Samosata, DP 11-13)

Mara Bar-Serapion:

"What advantage did the Athenians gain from putting Socrates to death? Famine and plague came upon them as a judgment fro their crime. What advantage did the man of Samon gain from burning Pythagoas? In a moment their land was covered with sand. What advantage did the Jews ain from executing their wise King? It was just after that their kingdom was abolished. God justly avenged these three wise men: the Athenians died of hunger; the Saminas were overwhelmed by the sea; the Jews, ruined and driven from their land, live in dispersion. But Socrates did not die for good; he lived on in the statue of Hera. Nor did the wise king die for good; he lived on in the teaching, which he had given." (British Museum, Syrian ms, add. 14, 658; cited in Habermas, JH, 200)

Julius Africanus/Thallus (Same year Christ was Crucified, corroborates Matthew 27:45, 51)

"On the whole world there pressed a most fearful darkness, and the rocks were rent by an earthquake, and many places in Judea and other districts were thrown down. This darkness Thallus, in the third book of his History, calls, as appears to me without reason, an eclipse of the sun." (Julius Africanus, Chronography, 18.1 in Roberts, ANF)

You seem book smart but not very rational cuz your own personal beliefs most of science and historians are on the other side of this issue because of the of evidence which old Gospels are not btw and the term delsional was used correctly on the Giivideo which explains even smart people like this guy suffers from.

[telemantros]

@DB0175 This is very vague. So wherever the majority is, that's the right position? What's more, unless you have some argument you would like to supply on the overwhelming evidence of "the other side of the issue" this is an assertion. Lastly, if want to go buy the majority, the majority believe in God of some stripe.

[DB0175]

@telemantros  exactly the majority do believe in god but not all just like most of scentist evidence it does'nt care how many people believe it is just there to exam and this is what most of sceince goes on. whats so vague about it?

[telemantros]

@DB0175 You are contradicting yourself, in your original post you said most science and historians are on the 'other side' and now you are saying that the majority do believe in God. What is vague is there are at least 5 different ways to use irrational, and more to the point, you simply assert without argument your opinions where I argued with arguments in video. Your posts are vague, assumptive, and contradictory.

[wb8594]

Being that there is absolutely no evident for a Christian, Jewish, Muslim God or any other God(s) aka Hindu etc. Or that any religious belief is real, I guess your reason for choosing Christianity is based on either your parents beliefs or that America is mostly Christian. Actually we need not take on religious systems or beliefs individually since No proof or evidence that exsists that ANY supernatural belief is any more real than fantasy fiction writing.

[telemantros]

@wb8594 This has got to be the largest generalization that I have ever received in text comments. To state, as you have, that there is no evidence for God at all goes against the past 50 years of atheistic philosophical discussion ... the majority of atheistic philosophers don't deny evidence that points towards a first mover so I find your comments uninformed.

[thevulgurvlogger]

his name isn't g2, its G I I, Which is an abriviation for god is imaginary

[lizichell]

GIIvideo is wonderful

[AtheistSongs]

Your major premis is that god exists so therefore all your arguments are a falicy. If you got on youtube to debate G-2 that's sad becuase you don't even realize that their name is actually G-I-I as in God Is Immaginary...and you will never get a chance to debate them...they do not care about you or your very weak, double-speak baseless aruguments. Do you really belive in what you are saying or have you outgrown these silly view points...like any child out grows his love for superman?

[AtheistSongs]

Nice try, but none of your aruguments actually apply to any of G-I-I videos. You have prepared a lot of common philosopical axioms (do I smell someone took a first year philospy class?) and attmepted to overlay them on the points made by the video. Your only leverage is that video are about 10 minutes in length; given the time anyone could easily take apart your retorts very easily. You are trying to purport intellecualsim but sound like a prison lawyer trying to be an attorney.

[Xenophile665]

At 1 minute, 49 seconds: "This is ???????" What word are you saying? (It sounds like "delicious?")

[Xenophile665]

Just a note of correction: His name isn't "G Two Video." GII stands for "God Is Imaginary."

[gameraxe146]

I have to say that although you put up a somewhat strong argument to back your case, it is not enough, because your main argument seems to be that giivideo cannot be trusted because they use science, reason, and logic (which are inherently and naturally on an atheistic plane) to back up their points, and you seem to have trouble with that fact because you yourself have a bias towards the supernatural, which goes completely against all scientific and logical basis' that have gotten us to where w

@thevulgurvlogger

More evidence of why people laugh at Creationists

[DB0175]

@telemantros I did not contradict myself you just don't understand what i'm saying, I meant most scientist are agnostic or atheist i never said they all believe in god you pointed that out and i agreed most people do believe just not everyone that is not my opinon that is a fact you mention the bible and your opinions in your videos and how you intrepid things so your the one with the contradictory.
