"It was the Romans, not the Jews, who were the Christ killers."

Un-frickin-believable. This guy must be reading the same translation that says God endorses homosexuality. But let's not get too excited -- Newsweek will get lots of letters to the editor about it and the moron will be set straight.

The Jews (specifically, the Pharisees) accused Jesus and the Romans, only very reluctantly, carried out the Jews' request in order to keep down the possibility of a riot. Saying that the Romans killed Jesus but the Jews didn't have a role is like saying that the guy that flipped the switch at the electric chair killed the condemned, but the arresting officer, the jury, and the prosecutor didn't have a role.

Morons surround us.

"It was the Romans, not the Jews, who were the Christ killers."

I distinctly remember that line from an old Saturday Night Live skit, but they said "Italians" instead of "Romans."
