I'm not trying to be clever(I'm pretty sure it's transparent), I just think it's humorous. So you're saying that only a antagonistic historically verifiable outside source of the bible, whos intentions and motives are not in question, and have physical taters of their writings is necessary for you to believe. So how can you objectively assume the moral constraints and motives of the writers such as Suetonius, yet claim a major conspiracy on the parts of Flavius, Pliny, etc. How do you explain 40+ writers in the bible alone, with more physical shreds of documentation than yours for Livy and conclude that Jesus emphatically doesn't exist, yet Livy does? I'm not arguing that neither existed but I accept both most likely exist, I just don't assume the intentions of writers of an area I wasn't present in.
