If memory serves you've posted under a different name in the past; at any rate, your screeds against Crossan over the dogs thing are as predictable as rain.

I'm not sure what you're going on about.  I'd think you'd be more exercised over what the Romans did to Jesus when he was alive than when he was dead. Presumably God Almighty could raise Jesus regardless of his human condition post mortem.

<<there's NO defense for his ludicrous claim>>

Yes, there is, as I mentioned before. Crossan may be wrong, but he didn't dream up this stuff in a vacuum. If the Romans permitted Jesus's body to be removed from the cross before sundown on the day of his crucifixion, it would (probably) have been unusual. Even if the Romans deferred to Jewish sensibilities over crucifixion victims, they may have been less accommodating when it came to seditionists. The whole point of the public spectacle was to discourage insurgents and terrify the populace into submission.
