Christianity - Religious System, or the True Natural State of Man?

[Papewaio]

What Would Pilate do?

Correct, he was always a flexible man

[Brenus]

“To put down a rebellion he'd have to risk the lives of his men and mount an expensive military campaign.” So it was easier to kill the potential rebel, in this case Christ.
And the cost of a campaign would have been covered by slaves, pillage and others income solutions. Roman Governors never shy away of fight and even provoked them (i.e. England, Boadicea). The political aim to crush a rebellion was always favoured by the Roman Empire.
The Bar Kokhba revolt in 132 is just an example of how the Romans were dealing with Rebels.

Romans were good at putting down the rebellions. That however does not mean that they were purposefully instigating them. They did not look forward to fighting insurrections.

Um, no. Rebellions interrupted the flow of taxes and cost money. The treatment of Boadicca was considered a scandal, given that she was a Roman Citizen, one of the many instances of Nero seizing the property of dead Romans.

Both the Roman authorities and the Temple Priests had an interest in seeing the Nazarene Rabbi disposed of because he threatened the established order.

The pronouncement of Vatican II that the Jews were not responsible is simply the result of Holocaust guilt.
