Spartacus was a symbol of rebellion. Jesus was a symbol of rebellion.
One chose the sword and the other chose the word. Blah, blah, blah,
and was crucified.
Spartacus rebellion ended in the crucifixion of thousands but they put
up a fight.
Who would you follow? Just wondering.

You probably would join the party I'd join, I mean the Barbarians. I
bet you they had a blast sacking Rome, taking revenge for all evils
committed by Rome, and then running away with the GOLD. That was a
perfect blow.
Someone in the crowd must have cried, "Down with Rome!" But time
erases everything and now Rome is a bustling city, rather friendly I'd
say. Lots of scooters and people roaming free. Julia Roberts found
happiness there on her search for the "perfect place" in "Eat, Love
and Pray." She was pretty disappointed in India, where she witnessed a
sort of "Buddhist industry." I may be wrong but I read that much into
the movie. Of course, it was another stupid movie made to make money.
What a rip off!

Why would sane people follow ancient people, whether good or bad?
We modern people do have a set of our own guidelines or standard.
Jesus was a stupid character meant to con money. Look at the words of
his disciples in the bible, at www.evilbible.com, they were evil, to
say the least.

Wait, wait, we may "follow" Socrates or Epicurus. But, of course, our
experience is so much richer now. We can not claim exactly that "I
only know I know nothing!"
For one, we have tablets and Google. And we know religion only brought
us darkness when it was in power (the Dark Ages). But we should even
question the greatest philosophers of this time --including me.
But that's only my humble opinion.

The nice thing about following these leaders from a distance is that
there a better chance of avoiding crucifixion with a simple "duck and
run" technique if you're aware enough to notice that everything is
starting to go sideways.

There was no provision for a death penalty executed by others than Romans
at the time, so this was the way to do it.
Proclaiming oneself king was rebellion, according to roman law.

Not quite ass accurate as you usually are.
There were las in place that allowed local populations to eliminatge,
kill, execute, give teh last dance to, many. But crucifixtion, now that
was reserved by & for the Romans to impliment.
There were only three, after Julius Caesar, ways for a non-Roman citizen
to be given the grand performance. Usually alone to increae the torment
of the celebrnt.
Insurection, aka treason to Rome.
A slave in revolt against, or who has killed his master.
A pirate, specifically a sea pirate. It was a personal thing with Gaius
Julius Caesar.
For local crimes that the death penalty was in use for, they were free to
do so. That means that Bubba Jesus could have been stoned, Not herbaly,
to death & Rome would not have cared.
But that did not fit the needs of the unkown authors of the Greek
Testaments, & they needed tgh Jews to be guilty, not the Romans. After
all, they were trying to peddle their version of unreality to the Roman
population, for that was where the power & money was.
> Proclaiming oneself king was rebellion, according to roman law.
If he actually did that, but IIRC, his imaginary followers did that. he
himself did not. Still, there are passages that indicate he was an
unsurectionist, so quien sabe amigo?
walksalone who does admire one thing about the Greek testaments. They
are a perfect example of effective propaganda.
When times are hard, people turn to luck.
When times are desperate, people turn to the gods.
