  If they worshipped him, why would they remove his body? They didn't believe he would rise from the dead? Then why were they worshipping him if they didn't believe he was the son of God?

  I'm not arguing that, I'm saying it's dumb to say "why would they risk their lives" when that is exactly what they are supposed to do for their "savior"

  Ignorance again, I tell you. No mention of Jesus outside of Biblical Sources?
  
  Come on, do you really believe what you are writing, or just hope skeptics believe the ignorance?
  
  What about Flavius Josephus in his book of Antiquities? That isn't a Biblical writing.
  
  Tacitus mentions Jesus in his Annals 15.44
  
  Thallus in his history of Eastern Med. world mentions Jesus.
  
  Julius Africanus, Pliny the Younger (governor of Bithynia), and more.
  
  You want me to keep going or are you willing to retract your false claims?

  
  
  During the life of Jesus or after his death?
  
  Seems you presented a faulty argument.

  How so? Pretty much everything known about several major historical figures is presented after the fact, and the historical stories of the life of Jesus just so happen to have been written during a time frame when plenty of eyewitnesses would have still been alive and ready to refute anything untrue that was written.

  It matters a great deal if the person who wrote the historical account was during the life or after their death.
