Ehrman doesn't think that. They didn't make it up for the lulz - it was a competition. The winners would go on to shape every aspect of western civilization. The earliest christians didn't think there was going to be any western civilization. The christians started calling jesus god just when the romans were calling their emperors god - and this would be an issue until the conversion of constantine.
