Are you that skeptical of other historical figures of that time or is it something particular that irks you about Christ and the possibility He was indeed who He was as described in the Bible? By attestation I mean other non-Christian documents too. Here's a jewpedia article about it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sources_for_the_historicity_of_Jesus
Not a single person wrote about Plato while he was alive too. The first attestation we get for him come 500 years after he died. People back then didn't write everything down immediately and even if they did, much of what they did write down was lost through the ages.
So it doesn't count if it was sourced a few decades after the events? What is your claim? That Tacitus and other non-Christian Roman historians made the whole thing up? If that's your standard just concede you can't know anything about ancient and early medieval history at all.
Now now, you're strawmaning again. We're tackling your denial of Jesus as a historical figure, not as God or as the messiah.
It's not. It's within the lifespan of one generation. It's like saying you can't have knowledge of things that happened in the 60's by talking to your parents or grandparents about it. To put it in perspective, people still have stories about WWII.
Lol, that's the worst bad faith argument I've heard. That would be the case IF we pretended the world in 1964 was the same world as 33AD and if that hypothetical applied for everything else we know about the 60's (stories about other popular people of the 60's popping out of nowhere). We don't know whether there weren't more documents available to Tacitus and the others that were lost. This is highly likely but regardless they had knowledge and certainty of the events they were writing on.
Are you serious? Those two contradict each other. You acknowledge there's difference in technology, media and society now and 2000 years ago and in the next sentence you deny it?
It's the jews who are slaughtering civilians as we speak. They've been doing this for decades. Have some humility and sympathy, you being atheist doesn't mean you don't have a soul or a conscience. You're made in God's image.
