Well, technically, you haven't proved that and there is evidence abound for Jesus's existence. For example the scrolls discovered in a Buddhist monastery point to his existence and I doubt Buddhists would create fake scrolls mentioning his names and teachings. But of course, they would according to you since they are secretly Christian right?

"Therefore, to stop the rumor [that he had set Rome on fire], he [Emperor Nero] falsely charged with guilt, and punished with the most fearful tortures, the persons commonly called Christians, who were [generally] hated for their enormities. Christus, the founder of that name, was put to death as a criminal by Pontius Pilate, procurator of Judea, in the reign of Tiberius, but the pernicious superstition - repressed for a time, broke out yet again, not only through Judea, - where the mischief originated, but through the city of Rome also, whither all things horrible and disgraceful flow from all quarters, as to a common receptacle, and where they are encouraged. Accordingly first those were arrested who confessed they were Christians; next on their information, a vast multitude were convicted, not so much on the charge of burning the city, as of "hating the human race."
This is from a Roman historian. Christus means Christ and the historian is writing about him like he is historic fact. This account was taken 30 years after the death of Christ when Christians were being accused for setting fire to Rome.
So yes, there was evidence for Christ. And yes, this topic has gone off-topic but I can't stand by and allow such ignorance to continue. I know we have freedom of speech and freedom to believe what we want but not believing in something that's been proven is just too ignorant and I have to correct that person, sorry.
Anyway. I won't waste any more time here.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to all of you! And Good Will to All Men!
