What were Jesus and early Christians like?

You should also know that at the bottom of every wiki page their is a list of reference material, in which the on page material is sourced. If you cared anything about the topic at hand you could easily trace back what was said to it's core source.

You could shorten that debate by sharing your fundamental knowledge about Roman trial procedures. Then you could enlighten us about the role and the powers of the jewish priesthood at the time of Pilate. And then let's see how facts meet fiction.

How about that?

Or I could just do a google search and provide a link.

See that is the difference between you and I. While most of the time I would read and then comment on what I read, (which is how ALL my posts like this are constructed./Off of verfifiable source material) You guys all tend to shoot from the hip and heavily rely on what you paid some school to tell you about how smart you are for spending your money with them.

When in fact you words and efforts in of themselves mean nothing.

Just so you understand how I formally construct my arguements/why I start with tertiary/Commentary based sources like wiki.

A tertiary source material like wiki provides authoritivative commentary based on what people think in relation to the secondary source material the cite at the bottom of the page.

Now when one of you cite a tertiary source I do not agree with I fall back and seek a secondary or even primary source materials..

But again this is not how you 'educated' people discuss a given topic. It's like talking to evolved monkies. 90% of the time You emotionally rant and rave, and base everything on what you think is right. Or better yet you defend on what you heard/want to believe, without vetting the source. Like your dismissal of everything you don't want to believe about pilate. No reason stated, no authorative source material referenced. just your 'feelings' based on some meaningless degree you claim to have.

But hey, don't get down on yourself for you emotionally driven, Simeon based thought processes. Why? because you can always say your spelling and grammer is better than mine. That seems to count alot with the monkey folk.
