What is the historical proof of Jesus Christ's existence? Is there any?

by AlrightImSpooderman

Among Christian's there appears to be a large amount of misinformation about the historical authenticity of Jesus Christ's existence, making it extremely confusing to actually hold a conversation with one about the historical documentation/proof of his existence. With that being said, I turn to you guys to help me out: What is the *historical proof/documentation* that *proves* that Jesus Christ actually existed? Is there any at all?

​

NOTE: I am not asking whether he is God or not. I am asking if there is proof that the *same* Jesus Christ from the Holy Bible actually existed, and, if so, what that historical proof/documentation of his existence is.

​

NOTE 2: I am an Atheist. I do not believe he is God. Please do not talk about the religious aspect of this. I am simply looking for concrete historical proof of his existence. I included this note just to make my stance on the religious issue clear. I won't be engaging anybody on the religious aspect.

​

Thanks guys!
