The gospels were not written by eyewitnesses. Names were given to the stories posthumously. This is fact and not a controversial statement. If this is the backbone of your belief, you are in for a big challenge to your faith.

Supporting Evidence: Bart Ehrman, biblical scolar (www.bartdehrman.com)

Doesn't hold water ... Most were dead by the time the gospels were written and canonized. Gospels were written by Greek scholars, not illiterate contemporaries of Jesus. Most the people you are appealing to wouldn't even know the bible existed much less read it.

Belief in Jesus as a historical figure has often only been supported by the new testament or the sword. Neither method indicates the story is true. Historical references outside the bible are all outside Jesus's lifetime and tend to refer to the stories told by the culture. About the only thing you can say is maybe, but unlikely anything like the figure described in the New Testament.

There are untold numbers of gods and supernatural beliefs in the dustbin of history. Other than tradition and culture, there is nothing the contemporary gods bring to the table. Religion is a tool for tribal management. God is just a concept operating within that framework. It's a hilarious side note that tribes continue to use their successes as evidence that their god is real. The study of religions and why people adopt belief in god is both very interesting and illuminating.
