Because there\'s plenty of doubt. The text of the gospels just says they scourged him. There\'s nothing about it being a particularly savage whipping. Plus which, the gospels also says that the Roman legionnaires were surprised at how quickly he died on the cross, such that they pierced his side with a spear to see if he were faking. If he\'d been beaten as badly as depicted in \'\'The Passion\'\', it would have been surprising if he\'d survived to be crucified, instead of dying from his wounds.

And there are those who believe the entire story is fictional to begin with, and that he never lived at all.

TV Tropes is defined by its warm, informal atmosphere. It\'s a community. One person should not be allowed to change it so much with so much as a by your leave. TV Tropes is teetering on the edge of \'\'Discontinuity\'\' right now.
