taken him seriously, what with his seemingly non violent ways. even if was telling people he was the messiah and everyone was going to hell
I still think, you belive too much of people psychology at that time. It's not far reached they simply killed him out of fun. Josephus accounts of a dude name Jesus, who was a monomaniac if i'm not mistaken. Who kept running about shouting "woe, woe to jersualem", and was constantly beaten and stoned without offering the slightest resistance.
If they beated badly, and probably near death this poor guy, what's from stopping them killing a acclaimed "king of Jews" who described very violent afterlives to individuals who didn't buy into his 'miracles', and constantly kept preaching the end was nigh?.
