We have a lot more contemporay primary sources for the existence of Socrates than we have of Jesus (of which the number of contemporary primary sources is 0).

No, there arent a lot of texts from the 1st century AD about him. The majority by far stems from the second century or later.
Written up to a couuple of centuries after his supposed existence.
There most definitely is.
You are the one who is doing the misinforming. All of the sources you mention, except Josephus, were written up to more than a century after his supposed existence. With Josephus being written around half a century after his existence.
And as mentioned, the specific quotes from Josephus are of a dubious nature.
No, OPs question was perfectly fine, because it is necessary to stress the fact that we have not a single contemporary primary source that Jesus existed. So adding extra parameters is pretty pointless, since we cannot convincingly answer whether he actually existed, much less whether he was a religious figure. Scholars have reached a conjectural consensus that a Jesus in some form likely existed, but it is a consendus based on congecture and circumstantial evidence in the form of later secondary sources.
Completely unlikely since no such census records are extant.
People who are jnfamilhar with the historiography are very much overestimating the amount of primary source material which exists from the Roman Empire, simply because historians have been very good at extracting information from the miniscule fraction (relative to the amount which was produced) of extant written sources we do have from the period.
There are no such records. Just having any extant census records from the Roman Empire would have pretty sensational, let alone some stemming from Judea at the supposed time of Jesus.
The Nero reference you are mentioning was written by Tacitus over a century after he was supposed to have lived. The fact of the matter js that there is no contemporary primary rvidence of hus exisrence.
ITT: Loads of monolingual native English speakers who has no knowledge of linguistics or even how their own language is not unique in all the ways that they think it is.
Way too overthinking it for Trump. Some criminal puppeteer just paid him a lot of funds in bitcoin.
He died in 2006. They got his embalmed body on display in a glass box and everything, like the complete insane psychopaths that they are.
Well know you are just using circular logic. The thing is that cryptocurrencies aren’t currencies.
As long as they use energy they are wasteful, considering they don’t provide anything constructive for that wasted energy which could have been used for better things.
Except for the thousands of cryptobros who will flock to these kinds of threads defending their scam, as this very thread is an example of.
Not evs in general, just tesla.
Just paying for a whole new computer required for compability with 11.
The concept of multiple languages seems to confuse so many monolinguists.
This was an issue with the food not being labeled as containing it though
There are zero contemporary primary sources for his existence.
