That would give you a good idea about what it was like to live in the time of Jesus. It was world war, the likes the average person could not comprehend.<br /><br />My favorite historical author, Elaine Pagels, does a wonderful job of giving perspective to just what these times were like. Her most recent book "Revelations" is superb and "The Origin of Satin" really depicts the struggle against the Romans.<br /><br />It's important to think here, Jesus really had no beef with Rome; "Render unto Caesar, what is Caesars'." He is pissed off that his religion/culture had degenerated away from the values of their founding fathers.

That's prolly why I have so little patience for people demanding so much of others and doing so little for themselves while whining about how rough their lives are.
