We had the writings of Philo and Josephus in addition to the coins minted by Pilate's administration.  BTW, both Philo and Josephus do not make Pilate out to be the vacillating, lilly-livered wimp of your silly gospels.  They make him out to be a major prick.

Let me see if I understand you correctly.

You're saying that on the basis of the writings of Philo and Josephus, we can accept the existence of Pontius Pilate? Interesting. [Image: hmmm.gif]

If that's true, I suppose we should also include the brief mention made by Tacitus; the four canonical gospels; the Gospel of Nicodemus; the Gospel of Marcion; and other apocryphal works.

<dramatic pause before springing the trap>

So, if we can accept the existence of the historical Pontius Pilate based upon the writings of Josephus, Tacitus and a few others, we can accept the existence of the historical Jesus based upon the writings of those same authors.

Game. Set. Match. [Image: thumbsup.gif]

Goodnight, Min. Pleasant dreams.

Good grief you are one stupid motherfucker.

Hey asshole.

Quote: All the gods together rose from their seats before the face of their father; no one dared to await his coming, but they all rose up before him. [535] So he sat down there upon his throne; but Hera saw, and failed not to note how silver-footed Thetis, daughter of the old man of the sea, had taken counsel with him. Forthwith then she spoke to Zeus, son of Cronos, with mocking words: “Who of the gods, crafty one, has now again taken counsel with you? [540] Always is it your pleasure to hold aloof from me, and to give judgments which you have pondered in secret, nor have you ever brought yourself with a ready heart to declare to me the matter which you devise.” In answer to her spoke the father of men and gods: “Hera, do not hope to know all my words: [545] hard will they prove for you, though you are my wife. Whatever it is fitting for you to hear, this none other shall know before you, whether of gods or men; but what I wish to devise apart from the gods, of all this do not in any way inquire nor ask.” [550] In answer to him spoke the ox-eyed lady Hera:

Homer, Iliad Book I


So since it is written in a silly old book you must agree that Zeus and the rest of the Olympian gods are real.  That's going to get you in trouble with your jealous shit of a god, boy.
Better go atone.

Your problem, Randy, and it is true of all xtian assholes, is that you think your shit is special.  It isn't.  It is just ancient shit.
