Dear Bill.....

Dear Mr. O'Rielly,

I have read all of your lates books expect The Last Days of Jesus, Kennedy, or Lincoln.  I found that your books were very insightful into the events of those assassisnations. Killing Jesus so far has been a little scaring and horrifying to my young mind, but I'll get over it. Sometimes I wonder, since people were so scandalous and revolting how have we come so far from that? Yes, I know that there are some people out there that are still like that, but I don't think that it would be to the extreme like Tiberius. At least I hope it's not or as they say,  "You'd better hide yo kids. Hide yo wife." Where would these people have gotten these horrendous iedas for execution and entertainment. I get chills just thinking abou tthose porr kids on Carpi with Tiberius. To have to do what he made them do then toss them off a cliff like a rag doll. Unacceptable. Why didn't one of his guards just push him off the cliff? Why was there no mutiny? Were people just not that smart? Maybe they didn't have enough money to educate themselves on the subject.

I thought on this since I mentioned it above, but I guess we have come so far from their type of actions because of Jesus. The people how don't know him are currently the ones who are acting like  Ancient Romans or  a not as intense Ancient Roman. I feel that Jesus set the standard for how to act and that the intensity level on killing and executions should be taken down 200 levels because it was way too high. He kept calm in situations where he could have gone ballistic or fought back,  but he didn't. Yes, the passover incident was a rare crack in his deminor, but are we ever perfect? No. We all sin and make mistakes and lash out it's alright we are human it's natural. What are your thoughts on this hoe do you think socitey has developed into better human beings?

I think that this book is full of good information and interseting even if it's scary at times. How long did it take you and Mike Dugard to collect all the information for your books? Was one imparticaluar harder than another? After you collected all the information was it really easy putting it into a  book?

Can't wait to finish reading!
