>One longs for a time when life did not feel like such a bleak and weary journey. When even amidst hardship, one could still look to the horizon and believe that, in the end, it would all make sense. That the pieces would fall into place. That the struggle, somehow, meant something. But such hope no longer seems possible. At least, not in our time.

Confidently wrong on nearly every point.

>wrote nothing down
Jesus wasn't a philosopher trying to publish a treatise. He was a first-century rabbi operating in an oral culture. Most major Jewish teachers didn’t write either.

>nobody who met him wrote anything down
Matthew and John say hi. Paul met the apostles within a few years of the Crucifixion. Luke interviewed eyewitnesses explicitly (Luke 1:1-4). Just because you don’t like the sources doesn’t mean they don’t exist.

>nobody from Judea wrote anything
The early Church was based in Judea. The letter of James, most likely from the bishop of Jerusalem (Jesus' own kinsman), is addressed to the Jewish diaspora. Judea had a long oral and prophetic tradition; expecting stacks of parchment misses the cultural context.

>no archaeological evidence
What kind of evidence would you expect? A sandal labeled “Property of Jesus”? The historical Jesus was a Galilean peasant. Lack of grand artifacts isn’t shocking. Yet we do have indirect evidence: early Christian sites in Judea, first-century ossuaries with names like “Jesus,” and a growing body of scholarship linking the Gospels to 1st-century Palestine.

>no named sources
Luke literally says he’s drawing on eyewitness testimony. Papias (early 2nd century) identifies Mark’s Gospel as Peter’s account. These are named lines of transmission, not anonymous fairy tales.

>anon story in a foreign land
Koine Greek was the lingua franca. The Septuagint, the Bible used by most Hellenized Jews, was also in Greek. Being written in Greek doesn’t make it invalid.
