Sure. Ehrman is just another former believer who became "enlightened" and is now no longer a "blind sheep." Evidence-based scholar who is now "smarter" than everyone else. Nothing groundbreaking just an interesting take from one of the few Jesuits whose opinion I value.Haven't read the article, but a question for you: Why don't you post a comment on your OP's to get the ball rolling instead of just a link? Just a sentence or two on your thoughts on the topic.
OK. Having read the article, I agree as well with the author. Could never really understand why so many are just afraid of the light and desire to live in darkness, but that is just the nature of man, those, at least.
Afraid of the light? If it is the nature of ‘religious man’ you are talking about, whose desire it is to live in darkness instead of light, then I could not agree more.
It is only ‘men of faith’ who kill in the name of God and when they aren’t killing men of an opposing religion, they are killing men of the same religion who happen to be in the ‘wrong’ sect. Men of faith do unspeakable horrors to their fellow men… torture, murder, pedophilia, sodomy, rape, hatred, bigotry, genocide, slavery,…the list goes on and on. This is the true legacy of ‘faith’. Not exactly what I would call ‘living in the light’.
'Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction.'

This is Heresy, Jesus has always been God and to deny that is to deny the trinity. Anyone that doesnt believe in the trinty is NOT a Christian! Ehrman
is a heretic.
Ehrlman is heresy. The Trinity has always existed, and will always exist. Three separate personages - but always one at the same time - consistently. That is the hope of Christianity.
