Hey they crucified him for being arrested in the Garden of Gesthemane (Mark 14:51-52) in the middle of the night with a naked ~12 year old boy with a bandage on his junk (some drugs and eunuchs shit) - somehow Christians miss this crucial plot point of his big act. All the other apostles were at that time, out cold on the drugs he had given them.
Crucified between two other traffickers too, lestes in the Greek, same sort of people who held Julius Caesar for ransom - after Caesar got free he instituted crucifixion as the standard punishment for traffickers.
They mistranslate it as thieves and say Jesus was marked as a political rebel or something but the mob of people and heavily armed soldiers that came for him were very justified in their anger.

Also, in Dr. Hillman’s book Original Sin: Child Rape and the Church he outlines how medieval and earlier rape of children by church leaders led directly out of Jesus’ pederasty, something the priests wrote at length about using Jesus’ actions as justification.
His other book The Chemical Muse was instrumental in getting academia to admit the widespread use of recreational drugs in antiquity.
Dr. Hillman doesnt get any money from the purchase of these books and he encourages you to pirate them.
