Anyone know if this is true, or just put into the story to make the Romans evi
Doesnt the Bible try to put the Romans in a positive light where possible so as to not offende its target audience? I thought that was the whole point of having the Roman officer in charge defer to the Jewish authorities on the execution of Jesus.
Actually, Jesus died.
Not from tetanus.
That's because Jesus was at least a level-30 Shaman
Oh please, Jesus is at the most level 7 or so, most of the magic he performs could be done by a level 2 mesiah and he's probably got a magic ring that does all the work for him anyway.

They sometimes used nails, sometimes rope; neither was a special torment for Jesus.

We're thinking in different systems; WoW shamans gain the ability to resurrect others and walk on water earlier, but they only gain self-resurrection at level 30.

In a bit of an ironic twist, though, they use an ankh for it. :D

The sad truth is that in a sane world this kind of behavior would be enough to instantly label those taking part as mentally disturbed; why is there such a reluctance to come right out and say that these fucks are twisted?
