That makes no sense - "his existence removes their objectivity"
They are Christians, Christians believe in Christ. A scholar who writes about Christ while simultaneously being Christian necessitates his existence.

Or tweeted about him, or made friends with him on facebook. Didn't realize a lot of "contemporary articles" were written back in the day. Good to know.
Contemporary as in his own time period, inference exists.

Please explain why they would make coins, statues, paintings, busts, etc., of someone they considered a criminal and then crucified? Was making coins, busts, paintings, etc., what they did for criminals back in the day - after they wrote articles on them?
Me thinks your bias is showing
He performed many miracles and traveled with twelve disciples. You don't find it the least bit intriguing that none of them wrote anything about him? None of them painted, inscribed, carried, wrote (if they were literate) ANY article (item)? That the Romans, who were known for keeping detailed records with many scholars, didn't write anything about this miracle criminal?
Come on man, please use your head.

I am, but without pre-conceived bias. This is where your problem lies.
Most modern scholars of antiquity believe that Jesus was a historical figure. The skepticism comes in when discussing the miracles, etc., laid out in the Bible, not as to his actual existence.
You are outside mainstream scholarly belief when you make the claim that Jesus never existed historically.
This speaks to bias, which your earlier comments bear out.
Try some objectivity is all I'm suggesting.
