And yet, in every fucking 'gospel' the Romans are portrayed as being clueless about jesus' alleged crimes while it is the jews who are screaming for him to be nailed up.
[Pilate as Christians imagine him]: Please, please you heartless Jews . . . don't make me condemn this good and apparently innocent man! Oh, why must you burden me so with your lust for blood? What has he done wrong? Oh, Ecce Homo. Ecce Homo!
[Pilate as he was]: <Idly examines a fingernail then looks up> What's that? King of the Jews? Created a disturbance? Flog him and crucify him. Next!
