[The Urban Sombrero]

Or maybe it's another example of your understanding failing on several levels.

Pilate had the authority, he lacked the courage.

How much courage does it take to tell a despised minority, in a free society, that they are excluded from equal protection under the law? I am content to stand before God and say that though I differed from a man or woman, and abhorred their actions, I was willing to recognize their right to the general graces and mercies shown everyone else. I understand general providence, general grace aright. You've more of the spirit of the Taliban in you than you are capable of seeing.
