     Oh, come now, Ed.  Pilate knew Jesus was innocent, and allowed
his corpse to be treated with more dignity than would be allowed for
any common prisoner.  Okay, maybe it's a bit strange that Pilate would
let the Sanhedrin execute Jesus in the first place, much less provide
the executioners and an armed guard for the tomb.  In fact, from what
little I've read of Pilate, he seems like the kind of guy who would
have written Jesus a pardon for all crimes (past, present, and future)
just to watch the Sanhedrin fume.  But, Ed, if you just have FAITH,
all these "apparent complexities" will just disappear!

Thus spake Nostradamus:  "Two nations shall go to war.  One shall lose."  What a remarkable prediction of the Spanish-American War!
