    Jesus was a really good dude whose corpse was almost certainly eaten by wilds dogs.

    Or we have to believe a Roman governor who had a history of being nasty to the Jews allowed an insurrectionist to have a decent burial when generally the point of crucifixion was humiliation, and corpses were often left to rot on the cross for some time, conspicuously warning others who might be having ideas.

    But then we also have to believe that a member of the same Jewish Sanhedrin who unanimously agreed to arrest Jesus was also secretly a follower but not so secretly that he didn’t petition that same Roman governor to let him bury the guy he’d just demanded be executed.

    So his body probably got eaten by them dogs.
