Quote:Well there was a Jesus of Nazareth, and he performed healings, and gave religious teachings, and called disciples, and he was crucified under Pontius Pilate. I think that much we can be certain of, and I might add that the gospels were for a long time the only evidence for the existence of Pontius Pilate as the governor of Judaea at that time in the first century AD.
You have to stop drinking the jesus freak Kool-Aid. Pilate was mentioned in both the writings of Josephus and Philo of Alexandria both of which predate the alleged gospels. And there is no first century source which supports your gospel-based conclusions about the alleged godboy.
Try facts instead of fantasy.
