Quote:Bart Ehrman (an atheist NT scholar) says that there is hard evidence for the existence of Jesus and that no serious scholars doubt that, and Larry Hurtado (a highly respected scholar) says much the same.
But WHAT IS THAT EVIDENCE, Danny? Hint: It's the fucking gospels which are about as useful as tits on a bull in this discussion because they are:
1: Anonymous
2: Date from considerably later than the events they describe
3: Are full of errors
4: Have been deliberately altered to fit later theological designs.
Now, all of this comes from Professor Ehrman.... who has shit all over them for 25 years but then decided they could be useful to him when he chose to write another book. I lost a lot of respect for him when he did that.
