@Metatron FAILS To Prove Jesus Historically Existed

Today we are going to take a look at @Metatron discussing the evidence that Jesus historically existed. The problem is that he FAILS to do this. He seems to have done little to no historical research or source criticism on these references. Most of the references can be outright rejected due to their obvious reliance on the Gospels. Others take a little bit more time to analyze but still just a cursory look at the scholarship will show that you can't use them to prove Jesus existed.
