It seems as if the "atheist friend" is curious about the historicity of Jesus. Why play games and start making rules about historical records that are "allowed" and "disallowed"? Even after all the games, the fact remains: Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed. Why? Because there is sufficient proof (some might say, "abundant proof").
It's an age-old device. If you can't challenge the truth (think politics) - then challenge the source.
It doesn't matter if your challenge is relevant as long as it can be used to cast doubt on the truth.
