Please inform your local police officers and historians of the 100% veracity of biased bystanders in an event, writting [sic] years latter [sic]

Please inform all historians of your notion of the vast superiority of millennia-later biased speculation over against written contemporary testimony.

Also kindly let archeologists know that they can cease their exploration, as you have done away with the role of hard data.

And finally, as you consider yourself an authority on the thinking of all Jews who ever lived, and regard it as monolithic, could you please give us a detailed description of what all Jews believe on everything, and what no mob of Jews would ever say? I can think of three Jews I know fairly well; and their beliefs are quite diverse.

But of course, untethered to actual historical (or other) data, you can unravel this all for us, no?

1. The Gospels were not written during the events. They were written latter.
2. As any writter, Jesus's disciples wrote from a perspective of assumed knowledge. In their case, they were writting with a knowledge of Jewish law and custom, not held by the average Christian (or even Jew) today.

Also kindly let archeologists know that they can cease their exploration, as you have done away with the role of hard data.
Reread my comments. I have done no such thing. Calling a recollection 10% innacccurate, does not negate 90%.

If Jews are not monolithic, then the mob had no right or reason to proclaim a blood curse.
My whole point is that Jews like all peoples are not monolithic, which is a reason why we never support blood-curses!
