Video Description (from Youtube)

In the next several vids, I'll take a brief look at most of the secular writings that are often presented as a kind of corroboration that Jesus existed and the gospel stories are true. This will be fairly abridged but there will be some links in the next vid's descriptions for further reading. MANY points I don't even make that are excellent points against the historicity of Jesus.
