John 19:31 tells why the body of JC and the other two victims were taken down-
"Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down"

PS- ijust to digress, if Jehovah's Witnesses ever try to tell you that Jesus was crucified on a stake (as they wrongly believe), slap them in the face with that verse. The breaking of crucified victims legs was so that the legs could no longer support the weight of the body, and the body would sag under gravity putting the full weight on the outstretched arms, making it impossible to breathe and bringing on a quicker death.

I don't believe that the verses from the wholly babble have any truth in them.  To sell their new version of the ancient "dying and rising god" myth, the imposter Paul and others had to get the body off of the cross somehow.  The Romans didn't care about the Sabbath, and they certainly didn't obey the Jewish priests.  The Jews were more outraged by bodies left out to rot than other cultures.  That's an even greater reason for the Romans to have left them up there.

Apparently shit-eating Doofus Rik finally admits being Xtian after pretending to be a dipshitted deist. Good job, Doc, even I was never able to get that out of him.

Yeah I was amazed that Sikky Rikky would get bent out of shape over Jeebus Crisps.  But then, Sikky Rikky seems to get REALLY bent out of shape over everything, which is odd for a blissed out yogi.  He does actually respond more like a fundie preacher.  But then . . . he seems to live in his own very strange universe, so . . . who knows?

Pilates's job was to keep sending Israeli taxes back to Rome but he couldn't do that if Israel was in a state of unrest, so he did all he could to keep the peace.
For example he found Jesus not guilty at his trial and wanted to let him off with a whipping, but the snooty priests talked him signing the death warrant on the grounds that Jesus claimed to be a king which was treason against Caesar, so Pilate signed it to cover his ass and please the priests and their lackeys.

You just eat that stuff up with a spoon, don't you?

At this point I'm squarely on the fence regarding Dropship being an active Poe or just someone who honestly believes that the only thing he needs to ever provide as evidence is the same handful of bible verses over and over.

As noted before, DropShit, you're quoting your evil book of fairy tales again as if it had anything to do with past or present reality.  Really?  Is that ALL you have?  Pathetic.  There aren't even any Roman records of Yeshua existing, much less making a splash with a "royal" entry or a crucifixion.  (Of course, most Roman historians would have not been at all interested in the crucifixion of a barbarian rabble-rouser.)  But you should study Roman history.  Pilate would have allowed the snooty priests to live only because killing them would have caused riots.  Romans had no problem collecting their taxes - you paid or you died.  There are many records regarding crucifixion in Roman Judea - (it wasn't "Israel" at the time) quite a few complaining that they crucified so many Jews that they ran out of wood.  So who cares what the babbling book of fairy tales says?  Go study some REAL history for a change, unless you actually WANT to keep sounding like an idiot troll.

AAAANND that's all you have.  No historical sources, no citations, no intelligent response - just a pathetic baby boy whine "she doesn't like me quoting the Bible as if it was history so I'm going to go crying to my mommy that she called me a troll".  You could at least try to get THIS right, then, whiny little pissant:  the term is "idiot troll".  Perhaps it should be "whiny little illiterate baby needs a time-out troll"?
