Now look, I challenge all you mythicists here to watch the full debate between Ehrman and Price. Now it is 2 hours and 45 minutes, but all you really need to see is the initial presentations, and then the counter questions, you can skip the audience's Q and A, although you should watch that too and see how Ehrman further exposes Price and the mythicists as "quacks" that have no real academic qualifications in the field.

If you fully watch this debate and don't change your mind I will genuinely be shocked.
Hey you're the one who brought up the agenda accusation not me. The fallacy is yours and yours alone
Bart Ehrman is a self described agnostic leaning toward atheism. What agenda could he possibly have?
Let me add that Robert Price is really the best guy to present the mythicist point of view. Don't think just because he was trashed in the debate there is someone else out there who can present a stronger argument. He's the best your side has to offer.

But as Ehrman pointed out in his famous debate with Price 2 years ago, the debate has to be plainly about the historicity of Jesus and put aside all vested interests and political agendas, just look at the evidence - meaning the standard of evidence that is used in and acceptable for historical studies and scholarship.
The existence of an agenda on the part of the Mythicists, even if true, doesn't eliminate the problem of having an agenda among the historical Jesus scholars. This is nothing more than a tu quoque argument, which I'm sure you know is a fallacy.
