[Insert "well hung" joke here]
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You know, I don't think there's ever been a person in recorded history got branded an enemy of the state because he went around telling people to pay their taxes.

Roman politics involved in this.  Pilate was appointed in 26.  Coincidentally, or not, in 26 Emperor Tiberius went in to semi-retirement on the Isle of Capri and left the day to day running of the empire to Lucius Aelius Sejanus.  Thus it seems likely that Pilate was Sejanus' man rather than Tiberius'.  Sejanus was overthrown and executed in 31 after apparently plotting a coup against Tiberius.  In 36 Pilate was relieved by the Governor of Syria, Lucius Vitellius, probably more for being a holdover from Sejanus' clique than for smacking down the Samaritans, as Josephus claimed.  In the latter case he would have simply been doing his job.

Anyone plotting a coup against Tiberius needs executed.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I thought that it was just your SOH, but erections DO happen at hangings and other violent causes of death and spinal  injury. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_erection

to OP

probably because jesus never existed. The proof for the existence of a "Jesus of Nazareth," is shaky at best.

Problem is, the historians have not reached a consensus on really any of the details surrounding this man. Some historians believe that Jesus was actually a common name then and the Bible actually refers to several different people as jesus throughout the Old Testament. All of this stuff is so loose and undefined that who the fuck knows what the truth is.

Even if Jesus did exist? So what? That is honestly my biggest point.
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.

It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.

Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
