There is no evidence that Pilate every showed mercy anybody in his entire life. Likewise, it ws not a CUSTOM to release a prisoner during the Passover. No proof whatsoever. IF you want to drink the kool-aide and believe it, that is your problem.

There also isn't any evidence that we went to the moon.

it ws not a CUSTOM to release a prisoner during the Passover. No proof whatsoever.

Luke 23;16,17

I will,therefore,chastise him,and release him.

(For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

Now,I guess it can be argued all day if that made it a "custom" or not but it would imply at least it was a regular practice for whatever reason.

[Chanticleer]

Well, I guess the anti-Christians are outted now, too.

[Chanticleer]

Four books, (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John), written at four different times by different men, some Jewish, some Gentile, all claim it was the custom. Each of these four books, even if you don't believe them to be divinely inspired, have had other details proven to be correct by outside historical sources. And I'm drinking Kool-Aid?

Until fairly recent archeological discoveries it was thought that Troy and even King Solomon had no basis in historical fact.

I'll agree with you on that I also believe he did it for show and could of cared not once cent for Jesus
