Thirty thousand Jews were crucified the Romans. Fact. The streets were lined with tortured men by the Romans. Fact. Titus slaughtered, massacred and destroyed. Fact. For some reason nobody (except me) ever brings this up when anyone suggests that maybe Jesus is more of an aggregate person than an individual. Its an actual possibility! I suspect the hush has to do with some Catholic secret vow or some vow the Jews had to take or its a dirty thing to say...or for some reason we aren't given. Its weird to me that I have to be the one to bring it up, as if nobody remembers. The way things are set up, too, the Catholic books make it look like the Jews crucified their messiah, however the Catholics never wanted just anybody reading those books. They wanted those books only read by Catholic experts, so perhaps it was never intended to be interpreted as it is. Perhaps it was never intended to blame Jews or accuse them of being murderers. I say 'Perhaps' because its fine with me if there are different opinions about it. Far better that future generations are enabled to decide for themselves what actually has taken place.
Now we have a situation. The year is 2021. All information is being converted to a digital form, and our assumptions are being digitized. Some of those assumptions are medieval, bloody, less than informed, too. There's danger those assumptions may become the assumptions of Christians for the next 20,000 years! I can't imagine anything worse for Christians. That's a lot of trouble not just for Jews but for us. We need to think this through and make sure to state ALL of the theories and not make assumptions like the Reformation scholars want us to make or that anybody really wants for us to make. We don't want the next 20,000 years to be a huge stupid religious irreligious confrontation. We need to get things to a point where people can choose for themselves what happened and accept alternatives while embracing what's important: principles.
