Scripture this and scripture that. Yes, but there's also history out there. And if it contradicts what you want to be the truth, you go lalala, I can't hear you. Obviously also with the same book of Bart Ehrman which you proudly wave around like a flag if it happens to confirm your opinions. But not if it says the polar opposite.
Have I ever claimed that Bart Ehrman is NOT an atheist? Of course not. There is a point beyond which he will not go, and this is not a surprise.
So, how do you get mileage out of pointing this out? You don't.
Conversely, I benefit GREATLY from being able to quote an atheist who is not only a well-known, world-class scholar but also acknowledges that Jesus did exist and openly chiding other atheists who deny this.
It just doesn't get any better than that from my vantage point.

"Scripture this and scripture that."
Yep, and those scriptures provide the evidence that destroys your utterly stupid claim that "the earliest Christians did not consider Jesus God." They did.
