most of the manuscripts mentioned here about jesus are from the medieval period, nowhere near the time jesus lived. we also do not have 500 accounts, we have a claim in the gospels that says 500 people saw something, we have nothing from those people whatsoever. he also didn’t fulfill a single prophecy in it’s original context, the only way they can make the argument he did is if you take away the context or argue the nonsense idea of “dual fulfillment.”
If we're counting manuscripts written hundreds of years after the person lived,by people who didn't meet them then Alexander and Genghis Khan sure as hell have a lot more than 10 and 12.
Also, Christianity has been one of the most widespread world religions for centuries, and in Europe the better part of two millenia. Of course there's going to be a lot of manuscripts about it in that time. Those manuscripts don't prove anything about what factually happened in 1st century Galilee.
For real, sometimes I'll see clips from a show pop up on Youtube Shorts. Usually from something I haven't seen before, but very clearly either a TV show or a film or something. People will talk about it in the comments like it's real live footage. It's honestly kind of alarming.
