wow...
How can you look at the past 2000 years of human history and say that Jesus didn't live? That's ignorant, friend. We've divided our years by his existence (Before Christ and Ano Domini). Can you doubt that Mohammed (familiarity with Islam lacking, I have spelled that wrong... apologies to all) lived, that the Buddha lived? These great religious leaders throughout the centuries certainly lived. Their footprints remain to this day in their teachings that have been carried through the generations. The only thing you can call into question about Christ is whether he was the true son of god (which I don't believe he was, but that's a different discussion).
They've even found his family's tomb... Rather, a tomb that had a Mary, a Joseph, a few others that shared the names of Jesus's siblings, as well as a sarcophagus that was DNA tested to also be a child of Mary's.
If you're looking at Christianity and saying you don't believe it because of all the evidence that says its wrong, then don't ignore the evidence that says you're wrong, otherwise you're doing the same thing and thinking yourself "enlightened" as you do it.
