they might have been just a little bit pissed about being enslaved, impaled, crucified by kangaroo courts & being forced to fight wild beasts & even each other to the death at the Circus Maximus.
Diocletian & Caligula were exceptionally evil. there's that word again. You better believe that evil does, in fact, exist.
It doesn't make the burning of Rome right though & it's certainly something that Jesus would not have supported. When Jesus had the "army" of 10,000 & chose to ride peacefully into Jerusalem on a donkey & do nothing but throw his fit in the tabernacle with the money changers, it upset Judas quite a bit & that's why he was betrayed. Judas was over a barrel with the Hebrew clergy who were out to save their own hides & also, at that very point, realized that Jesus was completely non-violent & that he (Judas) could best accomplish his agenda of freeing the Hebrews from the Romans easier if Jesus died as a martyr.
