Please list your sources on this amazing claim. The bible does not count, if you don�t understand why, then you don�t understand how any basic historical research is done or reviewed.

The Dead Sea scrolls for one. Quick history lesson:
The Dead Sea scrolls were found by a Bedouin goat hurder in the spring of 1947, and had been untouched since the time of their writing.
The DS scrolls were written between 200 B.C.E. to 68 C.E.
So here we have untouched historical documents confirming the existence of Jesus. Deity or not, he existed.
I can understand the informed persons skeptisism with the modern day Bible; from Emporor Constantine to the Catholic church, there are valid reasons to wonder. However, even discarding the Bible as a source you still have more than enough historical evidence to confirm the existence of Jesus, and since people get so worked up about this subject, let me again state "Deity or not".
