It is impossible to believe a person (a man named 'Jesus,' for instance) did what is described in the bible and no one close to him, or in his immediate vicinity, ever bothered to write it down themselves, or ask anyone else to record it in any way.
In fact, NO ONE chronicled ANYTHING he said or did at that time. Friends, neighbors, anybody who knew him.
That makes absolutely no sense. It proves if he did exist he did nothing so remarkable as to merit that kind of attention.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.It's also impossible to believe that four men in the Middle East were named Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Those are not Western European names per se, instead those names are common in Western Europe, America, etc. specifically because they spread along with Christianity.
The spelling and pronunciation of the names were westernized through translation, but those names existed in the local Mideast languages.
@WilliamFleming That's a post-hoc effort to rationalize it. It's like all of the European drawings of Jesus that are based on the son of a Pope.
