Very few, actually, have similar stories as that of Jesus Christ, and even those weren't extremely widespread at the time.

yet you would put all your eggs in one basket and claim that your belief is the one true belief.
Just like you believe that what you believe is the truth, and nothing that differs is?

Sections of my post could have been misinformed at worst.
If you were simply uninformed or misinformed, that would be ignorance. Look it up, that's actually what the word "ignorance" means. Sections of your post -- the majority of it, in fact -- reach far past ignorance into a state of being willfully misinformed. Not knowing and not being sure are entirely seperate from refusing to know.

by the way, there were tens of thousands of people named jesus back then.
Yet, the Jesus who became Christ was still documented, through both Jewish and Roman records. If you knew anything about Jesus at all, you would know that the entire reason that Joseph and Mary travelled to Bethlehem was that they needed to go back to the city of their birth to take part in a census conducted on orders from King Herod. Jewish records from what was then (and now) Israel acknowledge the existence of Jesus -- obviously, they did not believe that he was part of God, but they knew he existed. Even Islam acknowledges the existence of Jesus, though they believe that He is a prophet an not the Messiah. The Romans recorded His death, even though it was under Jewish law and not Roman law that He was executed.

All of the stories about him were never witnissed by the people that wrote them, hence yet another reason not to believe them.
Well, except for Peter, James, John, Matthew, Thomas ... you know, the disciples, the guys that followed Jesus around and then wrote about him.

You want to turn this into a religious debate, take a shot at my intelligence again and ill make sure you look stupid.
It's pretty obvious that you want to turn this into a religious debate, since you've made nothing but false claims and insults towards Christianity and those who hold it as a belief. Besides, you've already made one person here look incredibly stupid, I don't think you're capable of doing the same thing for anybody else. (That's you, by the way -- you've made yourself look stupid. I just wanted to point that out again, in case you were wondering who it was.)

Albha prettymuch covered the rest of it (and granted, you didn't make yourself look stupid all on your own, Albha did help you quite a bit with that), so there's not much more yet. You just seem to be confused between a secular, non-religious society and the society you wish for, which would be anti-religious.
