I'm not sure of that "record," but I think most informed observers would agree
that Jesus probably did exist, that he was a Rabbi, and that he was crucified.
The issue at doubt is his divinity.
As for his name, it was rather common, and by Jewish tradition he had no last
name. He would either be known as "... son of ..." or identified by his town.
And by definition, religion, or perhaps I should say "faith", is irrational.

A man named Jesus is on historical record as having been
crucified. If I remember the record correctly there were
two other men crucified at the same time.
The other two dead men were no more Gods than Jesus
was. What was Jesus' last name anyway? Did he even
have a last name? Funny how everybody else in those days
seems to have had a last name. Maybe religious legends
don't need a last name?
Maybe religions are irrational? Yes, that's it.
How one group of religious nuts can claim with absolute
surety theirs is the only TRUE religion should tell any
sane man that NONE of them are right!

Jesus? Don't you mean Easter Bunny?
There is NO Jesus, dummy.
Jesus is a matter of historical fact!
There is NO hard evidence that Jesus ever existed. Not even a fossil
record.
Bob, You're an idiot.
Jesus Christ existed. He was crucified.
Believe it or not, these facts are a matter of record.
You live in a very young country. Perhaps you, mistakenly, think that
records do not exist from the year 30AD. In fact, they do. There is *NO*
doubt about the existence of Jesus. NONE whatsoever! The Romans were
great beaurocrats. They kept written records of all public events. Both
the Birth, and the Cruifixion of Christ are documented facts.
You may well derive some personal gratification from the denunciation of
Christ, but that is something that you will answer for.
Christ existed. That's an Historical fact.
Bush is a liar. That is also a fact!
