To be fair, (and yes, I read your articles) there is indeed evidence that a Jesus of Nazareth did exist. The record is in the Roman census around the time of his birth, give or take 5 years... Whether or not this Jesus of Nazareth is the Jesus of the bible, or whether or not anything in the bible actually happened is a totally different argument. There's a ton of reasons why you could be right, and there's a lot of reasons to explain the absent record of his death... one I heard was that Jesus didn't use his actual name when preaching for unknown reasons (I really didn't look into this cause I don't really care, I studied religions in High School and University cause it was easy marks)...and was only referred to by his real name by his closest followers, and ergo, Jesus in the bible could equal Joe Schmo in the Roman records.
Note that your source makes no mention of whether or not a Jesus was ever born, simply that there's no record of him being sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate.
I'm not a real devout Christian, and I lean more towards the Jesus as a con man rather than Jesus as the Son of God side, but there are facts to prove someone of that general description did exist.
