embarrasses himself talking about ancient Jewish (Hebrew) culture.
Actually, Ehrman recently had an overview of the debate with Craig, and he expressed how disappointed he was with Craig and the nonsense he was spouting.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
