I am not suffering from any such hubris!
I would happily embrace your god - or any god - if compelling, forensic-level evidence were to be presented before me!
I could not respect any "god" that demanded that I believe in him - or be damned to all eternity to a literal "Lake of Fire" - based upon a jumbled collection of various old, fragmentary, and in large part contradictory "Just So" stories told by primitive, superstitious Bronze Age tribesmen wandering the desert, used to explain to their children "why the sky is blue" and "how snakes could talk." Then handed down orally for centuries... then finally collated and committed to writing, only to be promptly revised, edited, translated, and retranslated. Then to be supplemented by a books of a "New Testament" created under very mysterious circumstances some 30 years, at least, after the events they purport to describe... codified, redacted, converted into Church Doctrine, banned or relegated to "Apocrypha" by various councils, revived, "modernized," reshuffled, and republished. Then to be superseded by "new revelations."
It's all really rather pathetic - but that part with the literal "Lake of Fire" takes the cake!

You’re just not aware of the evidence. Plus, your requirement for historicity is biased towards your already a priori concluded viewpoint, only on this evidence alone. If you were to apply that standard of historicity to any other level of history, you would throw out all of recorded history prior to the printing press, and probably most of it after that.
You can start coming up to speed by reading
“THE NEW TESTAMENT DOCUMENTS Are they Reliable?”

Then, once you have developed a rational viewpoint towards historicity, you can examine the PROVEN evidence that Jesus claimed to be God Himself.

My impression is that you don’t post like someone actually seeking accessible answers, you’re just throwing up what you consider to be unanswerable questions so you can keep your current viewpoint. I would encourage you to seek the truth you claim you seek.
I feel sorry for you
By the way there are books written on the historicity of Jesus. Try reading one. Follow it with CS Lewis. Mete Christianity
