As someone who doesn't believe Jesus is GOD ... i don't understand what that would accomplish . The Romans would just find someone else to crucify and turn into a role model.
They didn't like him trying to reform their religion, make the priest class redundant, tell them their practices were pretentious, that they were hypocrites, and the like.
Pilate gave them a choice and they chose to kill Jesus.
This guy is saying he would do the same thing his forebears did.
Some of them STILL carry a hatred of Jesus and Christianity.
The Rothschilds and their ilk are still ticked off about his running the money changers off temple property.
Most Jews aren't like that, however. They don't carry such hatred in their hearts. In fact, most of them, I would say, either don't care much for religion or have a positive view of Christians.
Pilate gave them a choice and they chose to kill Jesus.
Pilate was basically pleading with the mob like “dude, Jesus has literally not broken any Roman laws ever. Not my monkeys, not my circus” but the mob grew more restless and just needed him dead. Fortunately for us that was the one guy who had access to the developer’s console and just respawned
And even then, the Romans were really ok with people practicing whatever religion they waned as long as they paid taxes, didn't cause insurrections, revolt, etc. Of course the Romans and the Jewish population had issues (because Jews are monotheistic compared to Rome's polytheism). Christians were persecuted for centuries until Constantine saw the Chi Rho sign in the sky (and later converted).
Whether you believe in a or multiple gods, or Jesus of Nazareth being the Son of God or a crazy preacher, the Romans just cared about making sure Rome the city was fine, and for them for years was polytheism.
Its framework was based on Roman and Greek precedents, and was formulated during the early Principate of Augustus. ( Reign16 January 27 BC –
19 August AD 14 )
Funny isn't it ? That this guy reigned when Jesus was born ?
Also Funny.
Regnal name: Imperator Caesar divi filius Augustus (The Emperor Caesar, son of the deified Augustus,)
Ah yes, let's have possibly the greatest Roman emperor create an Imperial cult for himself, only to decide to create an obscure Jewish sect centering on the son of an obscure carpenter to have future Roman emprerors persecute the religion that forms around him only for 300 years later to have an emperor make that religion become the official state religion of Rome. Makes total sense.
Nope ... HIS OPPONENTS pushed and funded and lead and "obscure Jewish SECT" to subvert the EMPERORS DIVINE AUTHORITY. Of course the Emperor persecuted them since they were competing for the same SCAM !
This happened in a similar fashion during the reformation ... but the protestants didn't have the balls to do away with the scam completely. They were content to get out of the authority of the POPE.
What a moron.

It wasn't the Romans.
It was the Jews.

Only for his Followers to replace the money changers with their own flavor.
Pilates could have told them to go fuck a goat ! PILATES WAS THE AUTHORITY . The ROMANS WERE THE ONES THAT HELD THE ULTIMATE DECISION.

There were many Romans . Not all of them cared about the same things. And on top there was this cult of the emperor . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_cult_of_ancient_Rome
