Since there is ample evidence to suggest Jesus was in fact the descendant of Solomon and David, and therefore he was true Royalty
This is true.
Assuming Jesus The Christ was indeed an earthly human being, which has yet to be substantially proven. (And even the Bible-sans-Gospels is sketchy on this) Not True by a long shot.
Yet you're unwilling to accept the death of Christ, which is one of the most heavily documented events in the history of the world.
Oh really? Where? Give me sources, because other than some book that may-or-may-not have been written around then, I, and many others, can't find any. I mean shit, it is one of the most documented events in history, right? Is that why there's still raging debate on the whole issue, and on the issue of weather or not the man actually existed? Where are all the Roman texts? The Jewish texts? There were plenty of very well known writers living in that area, at that time, and not one wrote about him, or his death. (Josephus does not count, most sane people admit that the reference is an interpolation.) I should narrow that down: dated texts from within 10 years of the "death" of Jesus, not including the Bible. Have fun.
