    This is a great hypothesis but it is no more self-consistent than most theories of the origins of JC and bible stories.

    If the Romans (or a Roman elite cabal) created Christianity by writing the very stories themselves, why did they then PERSECUTE AND MURDER CHRISTIANS FOR OVER THREE HUNDRED YEARS?

    ???
    They were just keepin' it real, yo.

    Really man? Is there any comment pertaining to Jews that people won't get offended by? Seriously, I'm surprised no one has called Bentley an anti-semite yet for his joke :lol:
    The comment is that they were constantly rebeling against and fighting the roman empire. That's pretty badass in my books.
    Offended? You presume quite a bit. I would have thought including a Simpsons reference in my sentence would have conveyed my lack of emotional intensity but I guess I was wrong. Now who's the hypersensitive one on the Jewish topic? :twisted: Regardless, the point isn't whether the characterization itself was a negative or positive one (in your words, "that's pretty badass"), rather that I found it interesting that once again the Jews are taking the blame for a tyrant's woes.

    If I read the article correctly, his whole theory is based on two things: 1) the Jews were causing trouble, and 2) Josephus' history was just a little too close to Jesus' prophecies for the author's comfort.

    Offtopic -- while Bentley's joke didn't offend me personally, it could easily be argued to be offensive per se. I.e., if a joke about black people was made in a similar manner I doubt it would have been taken so lightly by the crowd.
