You also have reading comprehension problems. 

You have both been attcking a straw man. Accusing me of "being
convinced" that Jesus didn't exist instead of addressing that actual -
that there is no evidence that he did therefore no reason to believe.

Hee has been treating "belief in the absence of evidence" and "not
believing because there is no evidence" as equivalent but opposite.

And ignoring the fact that what little evidence there is goes against
when there is none for.
