I'm just wondering - why SHOULD there be credible references to Christ in any surving non-Christian documents?
From: Pontius Pilate
Jerusalem
To: Ceasar
Rome
Regional Report for April, 0 AD
Collected 30,000 pieces of silver in taxes
Quashed two minor uprisings, sustaining one Roman fatality and two wounded - both wounded expected to fully recover.
Held spring training for 2 Roman Legions - officers report the men are fit and in good spirits
Secured 200 horses for military use
Secured 400 swords for same
Executed 3 local jewish criminals by standard technique of nailing them to
crosses
The messenger who brings you this dispatch is also bringing along my personal gift to you of 10 virgins accomplished in exotic veil dancing techniques. I hope this humble gift pleases you, oh, Ceasar.
Sincerely,
Pontius Pilate
