Historian explains why Jesus ''mythers'' aren't taken seriously by most Historians

I'm aware that they were an administrative body; I admitted as much - however Jesus as a preacher was more appealing to the poor, his version of Judaism was more radical and thus a threat to the reactionary priests. This wasn't really within Roman interests unless the Priests made it so.

Yeah, so we're back at base one. If he was appealing to the poor and in fact inciting them against the authorities, he was a threat to Roman authority and all the historical fallacies of how he was dealt with, kick in with a vengeance.
