Here's a youtube video my prot dad used to watch all the time. You can also namedrop Josephus and Pliny The Lesser as historians who confirm that Jesus Christ existed (even if while denying that he was The Son Of God).

Thanks got anything else to add

It just goes to show how far people will go to convince themselves that there is no higher power so they can behave however they want.

That video should have all the sources you'll ever need. If someone can bring themselves to deny ALL of the historians who confirm Christ's historical existence then they pretty much have to deny all history prior to 1500. If they mention that Jesus is referenced by multiple religious sects and try to use that as proof he doesn't exist, just point out that it really just adds to his credibility because even non-christians recognized him as a real historical figure.

>does anyone have a good paste or articles proving Christ exists

29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

>The Donatist doctrines were declared illegal. Their crime? – resisting the centralising authoritarianism of Catholicism.

Man, atheist sure love their dodgy martyrs. The waylaying of travelers and disruption of court proceedings just doesn't enter into their heads.

A fair and balanced article from the Guardian of all places

TL;DR almost certainly

There's more evidence for the existence of Jesus than there is for most of anyone in the ancient world including kings and queens. Christ mythers are a fringe group that's composed of people with an emotional attachment to atheism and therefore don't want to actually look at the evidence and apply it rationally, or people who willfully want to antagonize Christ and know exactly that they're being disingenuous but don't want to stop for financial or otherwise egotistical reasons. If you're arguing with someone who is one, they're usually on the emotional, lazy ignoramus side of things and providing facts isn't gonna do anything, they need to take the initiative themselves.
