Let's look at your conclusions and see if they hold up, using elementary textual analysis such as is taught in schools

1.i Someone known as Christ was executed, no mention of Jesus. And no evidence produced

1.ii Blame a minority is a common tactic of incompetent leaders to this day

2.i It doesn't say that

2.ii It doesn't say that

2.iii Ambiguous on that

2. Suetonius: Possibly true, or just bad reporting

3. two sources mentioning the same phenomenon only means that they agree on that phenomenon, it says nothing about anything else in either source

4. Christians followed depraved and excessive superstition

5. Jesus was a sorcerer. He could do magic tricks

6. One person mentions the wise king. Doesn't say Jesus

7. He could do what magic the Egyptians could do. Celsus clearly regards this as trickery that large number of people can also do.

8. Claims, not evidence.

In summary, there is literally nothing in any of what you write that would convince someone who is prepared to think and who is not already convinced.
