"The crucifixion was a theologicla event, not a political one."

Exactly. But modern revisionists want to rewrite the Gospels so they are more politically correct by stating that the Romans murdered Christ because of political motives. Otherwise, being total atheists, they believe the alternative was the Jews killed Him.

As Christians we understand neither the Jews, nor Pilot nor the Romans killed Christ, our sins did. As a matter of fact, read "The Day Christ Died" an old classic. In all probablity, the Hellenized, Roman-butt-kissing members of the Sanhedrin orchestrated Christ's death and the majority of the Jews were probably horrified by the entire episode.
