Author of Kosher Jesus.... certain to annoy the shit out of fundies and jews, alike!
Caligula never killed anyone in Judea. The province was peaceful under his reign. Caligula did order the governor of Syria, Publius Petronius, to put a statue of Caligula in the temple but Petronius delayed until Caligula was dead."

Quote:Q: Studying Jesus, you have concluded that some Christians have misconstrued his advice to "love your enemies" and "turn the other cheek." Why?
A: They're often misused as a justification for pacifism. Jesus resisted the brutality of the Romans. Jesus said to love your enemies. He never said to love God's enemies. Your enemy is the guy who took your parking space. Jesus said overlook it; I agree 1,000 percent. He never says love the Emperor Caligula, who's killing everybody in ancient Judea.
