It was not senseless. It was very purposeful. A few derranged and gullible followers of an deeply psychologically troubled jewish preacher had to explain away why both the secular and religious authority held such a low opinion of their guru, and make lemonade out of the fact that the authorities executed him in the manner reserved for slaves who have killed their masters. This "sacrafice" is what these follower came up with.
