The Romans crucified him for exactly what the gospel accounts say, except they had a lot more evidence than the writers were letting on.

Very well. How come Pilot didn't take out the rest of the 11 and instead let them operate openly in Jerusalem? If Jesus was real and killed for trying to overthrow the state why wouldn't the state go after the rest of them? Pilot wasn't known for being a merciful guy and the Romans put down anyone who threatened them.

We know they were operating openly because Paul talks about visiting them and sending them money. Plus there are a few accounts of them.

Very strange. Almost as if there was no execution and James just made it up. Romans arent going to be interested in some weird mystery cult with a dead ruler.
