well thank you for taking the time out of your day to come to my talk page and tell me that as this is my talk page i can go into a little rant you and a lot of others seem to think that anybody who insists that it is the mainstream view that jesus was crucified by pontius pilate is an undoubted historical fact is a frothing at the mouth christian fundamentalist that isn't why i think that it is because i am a roman pagan and i believe it because tacitus says so there is only one thing that we know for sure about jesus which is that he was crucified the historian from whom i learned almost everything i know about classical history michael grant says so and so does the greatest roman historian tacitus if he was crucified he had to exist first so he unquestionably did it is just ignorant people who know nothing about roman history who think anything else i feel so much better for getting that off my chest
