Thanks to the dozen or more folks who have sent me links to the British “the Romans invented Christianity” story. I am well aware of it. There is nothing much to be said, of course, until whatever documentation being offered is published, but if you read the story carefully, you will see it is coming from a radically skeptical perspective that is, to put it mildly, biased in its origins. In any case, I will interact with what was said by the proponents on the Dividing Line eitherFriday (if we do a program) or next Tuesday. But till then, remember when the media went nuts about “the Jesus family tomb” story? Most folks don’t even remember the story any longer. Someone is always trying for their 15 minutes of fame (and inordinate income). Keep that in mind.

From Gate D26…
Waiting for my flight home here at the airport in Detroit. I was referred to this blog article by a student at Liberty. I noted the following: Within the first 20 minutes of class Ergun is chatting about the accusations against him, but made it clear that he isn’t worrying about the issue or looking in to it…yet…well never mind.
