Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Very well. You must believe in ghosts.

Simply because we lack proper primary sources concerning Jesus from during his lifetime does not mean that he never existed.

It also means that we can’t assert that he did. We do have evidence however that he didn’t exist. The accounts all differ and are convenient for those spreading it. So while I can’t disprove him or ghosts I can point to the people making money off ghost hunting shows.

Additionally, those who would care most about the existence of Jesus couldn’t care less about historical proof; they’ve already accepting everything on faith.

If you mean modern people: Just because other people have a low bar doesn’t mean we have to.

If you mean people at the time: that is convenient. Suspiciously so.

but it’s a meaningless hill to die on.

I disagree.
