Help! Joseph of Arimathea.

"It's deja vu all over again." ~ Yogi Berra

Same shit, different day.

It might be plausible, given the supposed deference Pilate gave to the Jews in Christ's arrest & conviction that, contrary to the common Roman practice of guarding the crucified to prevent their removal, some deference in the disposition of his body was given. Then again, they might not have. I'd have a lot more comfort in entertaining such notions if the biblical account squared with the rest of what we know of Jewish legal, funerary and other customs of the time. But it doesn't. And just what is the point in citing a document that you admit is biased and unreliable as a source? A source of what? Error? Misguided apologetics? Badly done exegesis?

I sure hope Jesus come along soon. I tire of apologetics.
