Another myth exploded.

I wonder if you would consider some time writing up a catalogue of the things you think we DO know about the first 100 years of Christianity. To show us what remains after all the demolition work.

Maybe it could be both! Seriously, though, good luck and wish I could be there! And I’ll pass this on to my friends in Milwaukee.

I accidently got on to some of your lectures that were posted on youtube. I noticed you spend a lot of time proving that Jesus and bible stuff is pretty inaccurate. This brought up some pretty interesting questions in my mind while I was listening
to your lectures. Everybody that hates Christianity or has doubts about it has done a lot of research to prove their points. Most of that research has passed the test of peer review and time. Even Voltaire had some pretty good zingers and profound thoughts on the bible. While every swinging dick is casting doubt on Jesus and authors of bible verses nobody has ever said who the actual authors are.
Have you ever decided to do a book on who really wrote the Gospels and the epistles? Have you ever come across possible candidates while doing work on your other books? The other question I have for you is this. The first couple of centuries of Christianity were not really fun for the new religious kids on the block. And it definitely was not a get rich scheme that medieval Europe turned it into. Who were these leaders that risked their lives for this belief? Why were they willing to forge and scam and falsify documents?
