Of course, His followers would make those records. Yet, the fact that you consider them of little worth is not surprising to me when taken into account your bias of the Christian religion and lack of objectivity.. The fact that the Christian religion exists since the first century is testimony enough that Christ did exist. If Christ did not exist, neither would Christianity. As I said, one cannot ignore history.Lux Veritatis said:If you want to talk about historical records, there is very little genuine historical record of Jesus, outside of the Bible (a record which was made by his followers, hardly the most credible.)
It is a historical fact that there were many Christian martyrs of the first centuries because these martyrs were witnesses to the truth of the Resurrection. It is a historical fact that there were no pagan martyrs. It is a historical fact that a man named Jesus once walked on this earth 2000 years ago, bringing about the Christian religion. You can argue all you want whether He was God or not, but the testimony of the Christian martyrs of the first centuries speaks strongly for it. It is a historical fact that in the first three centuries after His death, Christian Churches in both the east and west sprung up among the Gentiles. It is a historical fact that there were 12 Apostles plus St. Paul and St. Barnabus who did spread this Christian religion to the Gentile world, and there are historical records of these Apostles.
