What's the secular history of Jesus and what role did the Roman Empire play in it?
>>3216053
Well, without a roman empire there is no crucifixion, which is kind of an important element to the Jesus story.
Tfw you just realize Rome and Pontus Pilate are sympathized in the bible because the Romans had control of the church.
How far does this rabbit hole go?

You got it backwards - Rome and Pilate are divine authorities and the gospels are the work of someone with divine authority - the Jews and other Moses worshipers are sicko murdering terrorists. To someone who loves God what the Jews have written about God invokes nothing but disgust.
The gospels don't really belong in the Bible and most of the Bible doesn't belong with the gospels. But the gospels wouldn't exist without the Bible because there'd be no sicko murderer manifesto to try to dissuade people from following.
The King says "stop stoning people to death in the street!" and you kill the King. How sick do you have to be?
Thankfully, now, 2000 years later, we have finally PROVEN conclusively beyond the shadow of a doubt that Moses is a fraud and every single person who has ever been killed for him in history didn't have to die.
