Quote:Immediately noticed the author is Moody Bible College alum.
That's why the fundies hate him so much. He studied their shit. Knows it better than they do in the original Greek and dismissed it as bullshit. That's a crime that the jesus freaks can't forgive.
My only problem with Ehrman is that he fails to see the net result of his work. He spent 20 years pissing on this propagandistic gospel horseshit and then wants to still use it to show that there "must have" been a historical person behind the resulting myth. It's like shitting in a small puddle for 20 years and then saying "it's okay, guys, I found a clean spot to drink from."
Terribly unconvincing. Carrier's euhemerization of a mythical character is far more logical.
