I was watching a documentary a couple months ago where they were talking 
about Flavius and all that, and why Flavius was trying Jesus, and pointing 
to the head priest (or whatever) of the time, talking about how the head 
priest wouldn't have like Jesus, yadda yadda, how he probably knew about 
Jesus and accused him of ... wait a minute, "probably"? Meaning there's no 
actual documentation that the priests of the city where Jesus was crucified 
ever mentioned Jesus' name?  Amazing what people will paper over in support 
of a point.

Me, I just don't understand the point of looking for historical or 
scientific evidence of that in which you're supposed to have faith. I didn't 
think that's how it was supposed to work.
