I’m not sure how to even respond to that second part, except to ask why you would believe such a thing in the first place. And remember: the Bible isn’t proof.

Sure you are mad at Him. A lot of people who want to blame their sorry lives on someone and not take responsibility for their use of Free Will are mad at God. I hear it over and over 'Oh God, why are you so cruel, making my life so terrible'. These people know their problems are so insignificant that God will not intercede, He is looking at 'the big picture with a superior plan'. So people like you declare 'There is no God'.
Now, just for fun, lets look at dates, shall we? What does BC and AC stand for? Do you think Ed down at 'Calendar Towne' in the Galleria woke one day and said "Gee, lets change the year. All years prior to today, we will count backwards and all those after today, we will count forward, starting at 0." Do you realize how utterly absurd that is?
Now, lets consider, who is is Jesus? Who is God. One and the same. God has nobody like you or I. He simply is, He comes to some of us (I have seen Him) as a manifestation. To walk the Earth, he has to take the body of a man, in this case Jesus. It has been reported that God has done so countless times since, just in a more incognito way.
Just because He has not gone over to your home to take yopu out for a Gelato, does not mean he is not real.
