      Pilate did seem to be pressured by the Jews into crucifying Jesus. Even with the Barrabas incident where they freed a literal murderer to still have Jesus killed.

          I took you seriously until you tried to propose that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene, these “scholars” must be mental if they seriously think that.

          Also worth mentioning Barabbas’s first name was also Jesus (or Yeshua) which if it were made up, wouldn’t make any sense why a criminal would be given the same name.

          Are you really trying to equate me stating historical fact to me trying to propagate anti semetism? Even though the Jews in the times of Jesus were completely different to the Jewish people nowadays? That’s like claiming that the Japanese did war crimes in WWII is some form of racism towards the Japanese.

      Roman leadership didn’t really care enough about crucifying Jesus and that they were just doing what the Jews told him to

      And it’s complete bull. If the Jewish authorities wanted Jesus dead he would have been stoned to death - not crucified. The Romans only crucified people they wanted to crucify. This is not anti-Roman propaganda - it’s anti-Jewish propaganda by the Catholic Church to camoflage the fact that it was their imperial progenitors who was responsible for Jesus’ death.
