A.) You really need to look at some other sources on this. That article is terrible.
B.) IF that article turned out to be both %100 percent accurate AND not selectively including just the most ridiculous aspects of this case, than of course it's outrageous, biggoted and just plain wrong.
C.) I am personally convinced of the existance of a historical Jesus.
D.) The claim that there is more evidence for the existanece of jesus than Plato or Aristotle is ridiculous beyond belief. There are very few extrabiblical contemporary references to Jesus (though more than enough to indicate his existence). There are multiiple references to both Plato and aristotle. Are you maybe thinking of Homer?
E.) Why do you have such a chip on your shoulder about the existance of Jesus? To me, it makes your faith seem week.
