I'll omit the posting to which RHF is responding. All
of the sources, except for the Gospels, cited in that
post are already hearsay reports, or merely refer to the
beliefs of the Christians. Josephus to take just one
example, "affirms" that Jesus rose from the dead, but he
wasn't even born when the event he "affirms" occurred.

I'm not taking a position on whether there was a real
Jesus, but the citations in MWB's post certainly don't
constitute independent evidence of anything.
