Congrats for basing historical opinions on such reliable sources.
Yeah, it was all the fault of those damned dirty Jews. But don't just take my word for it or the word of the author of the fourth Gospel . . . Mel Gibson thinks so, too!
Seems legit.
@Nestor: One wall doth not a temple make. The cultic center of Judaism was destroyed and the relatively few survivors of the siege of Jerusalem were rounded up and exiled, scattered throughout the Diaspora. For all practical purposes, not one stone was left standing. Jesus' 'prophecy' is just a piece of pious bullshit -- a bit of post-hoc poetic license meant to impress believers with their God-man's prescience.
