The fact that people have written lots of words about Jesus, and that Christianity became the dominant religion in the Western world is not documentation that the actual event happened.
People, especially uneducated people, are notorious for having superstitious beliefs – we see that all over the world today and it has been no different throughout history. Whoever the man Jesus was, he was mythologized by his followers. Their conclusion that Jesus was the son of God, while based on actual events, is not documented.

Really? Show us the reliable documentation of the event! There may well be lots of texts around, but none were written at the time, so how do we know how reliable they are? There are, after all, a lot of copies of the Harry Potter books around, but they’re not reliable history.
Some people argue that Jesus Christ didn’t even exist, citing (in part) the lack of any direct evidence: outside of the Gospels there’s no near-contemporary evidence for his existence (in contrast to Julius Caesar’s existence, where we have coins, statues etc.). I certainly don’t go as far as the mythicists who claim that Christ never existed, but I would also like to see a wider range of evidence for what actually happened.

But Batshit77 has some Shroud Of Turin links, proving conclusively that it's a gravity-defying quantum hologram with an event horizon. So there!
