That shows that you don't know Christian history. The Romans didn't care. They feared he would be their new king and conquer them like the Jews thought he was going to. When He didn't show any signs of this they mostly ignored Him. He violated no Roman laws, advocated paying taxes, preached that the Jews should love their enemies, "turn the other cheek", "go the extra mile".That's right! He was murdered because the Romans were pissed off with him for being so overrated! ;D

It was the Jews that asked the Romans to execute him for violating THEIR laws. If anything, the Romans overrated Him and the Jews underrated Him.

Or maybe there was none at all? Then I'm a fool.

Yes, sarcasm, or something like that ;D
I'm also a little sceptical of Christian history seeing as it's obviously one-sided and written when all of the eye-witnesses were dead. For all we know the Jews who didn't convert were being slandered. For all we know the early Christians were afraid of pissing off the Romans by blaming them for "killing God" and decided to blame a less powerful group of people. The latter is unlikely, seeing as the Bible doesn't seem at great pain to snuggle up to the Romans at other points, but you never know...

All the early Christian history gets vague after the events in the Bible. No one can even agree what year those occured (There's a range of about 10 years where people debate what year Jesus was born in). It wasn't ever meant to be a history book anyway. The first five books of the New Testament are trying to be, but it's accuracy with dates is questionable seeing as those were written years after the fact. Everything after that starts getting lost in history. None of that really alters my faith in those events. I think God left us with all we need to know, but I'm always wondering what happened to all the books the Council of Trent didn't like.
