Z,
You just gave me three links that proved that Christians existed in the late 1st century.
And these Christians were considered to be reliable witnesses to the EXISTENCE of Jesus Christ, if not the divinity thereof.

This evidence is in addition to the first-hand accounts of Jesus' existence by the Christians themselves. The four canonized Gospels themselves should be sufficient evidence of his existence, but there are many other non-canonized records which also makes the same assumption.
Plato seems to have written a lot and probably existed. Aristophanes wrote about Socrates during Socrates' supposed lifetime... he may have existed. It doesn't matter that much to me.
Yet disproving the existence of Jesus matters so much to you that you claim to have spent hours researching the topic.

I think you pretty much made my point for me, especially here:
But no one (or very few) are creating their entire worldviews around any of those three people, anyway.
Sounds like you hate the notion of people creating their entire world views around one man who claims to be the son of God. And that would explain your predisposition to believe that Jesus never existed.

How you work your relationship out with your Christian GF is none of my business, but I do think you have some serious issues with the very existence of Christianity.
