... surely you believe the basic story of an upstart Jewish leader challenging the status quo and the elite old guard Jews pressuring the Roman governor to agree to execute him as a warning to anyone else of similar aspirations.

The Pontius Pilate of scripture is very different
to that described by Roman historian Josephus.

I just don't buy the Xtian narrative that Rome
would release a convicted insurrectionist/murder-
er [Barabbas] in one of the most troublesome
volatile provinces of the Empire., in favor of killing
a man Pilate considered innocent (according to scripture).
But please go ahead and explain why Rome which
is always trying to quash insurrection , would then
release a known/convicted -slated for execution
insurrectionist.
