As a Roman pagan, Pilate would have seen his obligation to his emperor Tiberius and then to himself. Nonetheless, he extended himself repeatedly in efforts not approve the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.
I get the impression that he did not want to execute Jesus but finally decided not to anger Annas and Caiaphas and the crowd before him. So, he refused to cooperate by sharing in the murderous passions of the crowd.
Every year, in most abortion mills in the USA, secularists commit murder against a total of 1.3 to 1.4 million innocent pre-born babies and cooperate in inducing the moral degeneracy of most of the mothers and others who are morally complicit. Dare I suggest that their sins outweigh any alleged culpability of those who refuse to choose and vote either for Obozo or for Myth Romney? Those who refuse to choose between such dreadful alternatives are quite unlikely to be secularists in any event.
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
I think you need a second opinion on Pilate’s sins and what significance it has to today’s culture war. I mistakenly thought there was a consensus about his place.
