.....they would if they could convince them that the same individual was also somehow a threat to the state, which is exactly what the sanhedrin did simply because he happened to refer to himself as the "king of the jews" from time to time. now, it's true that the popular view of the messiah at the time was that he was going to be a warrior king, and it's true that the romans didn't like large groups of people crowding around "revolutionaries"; but....jesus was neither a potential warrior king nor a revolutionary. he was just a crazy hippie pushing brotherly love and not a real threat to rome at all. i've never seen any evidence stating that the romans really even took jesus seriously; pilate certainly had nothing against him. it wasn't for years after that all of a sudden christianity emerged as a problem for the romans after all. *shrug*. now, as for the "nazis=romans"....well....you give saba too much credit. the statement was a result of the same logic that made her state that, and i paraphrase, "this conspiracy.......job is a part of it." inri np: http://chat.carleton.ca/~jparent2/ "there ought to be limits to freedom" - george w. bush "if this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as i'm the dictator." - george w. bush "i'm not going to let congress erode the power of the executive branch" - george w. bush <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
