You people are an impossible audience. First, you insist that the Gospels are invalid, because they're obviously biased. Then you insist that there exists no documentation which was written close to the time of Jesus' life. You can't even bother to do your research correctly, making bizarre claims about the Qumran (which doestn' technically apply here, actually, except for the scroll which validated the book of Isaiah). Christian sect? Hundreds of years after his death? Sure, there are scholars who believe that, but there is also a flat-earth society.

Given your historical standard, Xerxes never fought at Thermopylae (480BC). In fact, the very existence of both Persians and Greeks is in doubt. Alexander the Great (350ish BC) was certainly a figment of my imagination. Jerusalem was never razed (65ad), Socrates never drank hemlock (400BC), and Joan of Arc (1400ish) never led for the French. S***, if you insist on someone having written about the events while they were happening, you pretty much wipe the historical slate clean from before three or four hundred years ago, at most.

But hey, whatever works for you.
