First get some crazy idea about mythicism, even though there is no trace of anyone having this view until relatively recently. I mean it's suspiciously absent from the entire corpus of early christianity, until someone such as yourself suddenly sees it.
It's present throughout the entire corpus of early Christianity, judge. That is Earl's point. And note that Earl has made a point of not claiming interpolations for the tiny number of passages that may cause problems with his thesis. He usually attempts to show that even though there is good evidence for interpolation, it isn't necessary to his thesis to regard them as interpolations.

Um no its not. There I just refuted your ridiculous assertion with an equally strong one.

What is present throughout early christian corpus is a human earthly flesh and blood man who was born, ate drank who lived and died on earth.

In other words the early christian documents know nothing of Earl's invention.
The only place it has any credibility is on the internet amongst amatuers.

Tough eh?

Yes, getting around the ignorance and deliberate obtuseness of others is tough. But I feel certain we'll overcome it someday.

Could thousands of gullible middle east iron age tribesmen be wrong? People believed and still do.

Well you'll need some evidence. You presented none.

Well, Abe, you're about the smallest name there is, and my ass is still securely in place.

The debate will come once Ehrman has published his book, though it may not follow the course you would prefer.

You offered an exchange of insults, not a conversation. Ask me for something concrete and I will happy to comply.

If you really believed the nonsense you sell you'd stop avoiding peer review.
