White: "Bart gives money to charities...there may be a reason for that."
Me: "Uh, yeah James...to HELP people. Crazy, right?"

[SwartFrancois]

So Bart is simultaneously a bad student, and he wrote a very well written scholarly paper? That about right?

[scotthendrix]

I have a PhD in history. Bart Ehrman is absolutely correct about the way historians work and what history is.

[silverlining]

So James decided to sit down and literally GOSSIP about Bart infront of a congregation? Church really has stooped to an all new low.

[Chrismas]

My first thought when he said Bart isn't a happy man was "all he EVER does is laugh. He seems like such a happy guy"

[timothymulholland]

Apologists almost always use ad hominems to discredit people. “You were never really a Christian” is a universal trope. They are running scared of Ehrman and other scholars who point out the myriad failings of their doctrine of inerrancy, etc.

[Lorenzo_That_Vegan_Dad]

No one knows what is like to be the bart man, To be the sad man, behind brown eyes.

[JesseMeijer]

The absolute irony is that as a calvinist James White actually believes that anything that happens was decreed by God from before the creation of the world. This would include the mistakes the scribes have made... absolutely absurd.

[blairmcian]

Dr. Ehrman is amazingly patient in the face of White's passive aggressive, thinly-veiled insults. Like an "official" explanation of Dr. Ehrman leaving Christianity, clearly implying that it's not the real reason and Ehrman knows it. And the constant attribution of motive to Dr. Ehrman's work. It's totally self-serving for White and the people who apparently like what he does.

[timlenord]

Bart Ehrman is a genius. He acknowledges historical Jesus but rips resurrected Jesus. Ever notice how carefully Christians choose their words when critiquing him?

[Marconius]

That whole bit of him going "well what did you expect God to do, just take over the scribe and make him write the line like a robot?" had me just going "YES!" at my screen. I seriously don't understand why God can apparently 'inspire' the original authors, to write his perfect, infallible word... but then doing the same to a bunch of scribes so we actually have proper copies of it is just impossible?

I seriously don't understand what is going inside the brain of a person like this...

[EricusXIV]

Bart is an incredibly upbeat individual, practically the least sad person ever 😅. He is always laughing and enthusiastically delves into passionate tangents about topics that captivate his interest. Brilliant mind, and brilliant mindset!

[MrCyclist]

I went to a Catholic school 65 years ago and graduated as an Atheist. I got the highest mark in Catholic Christianity and told the teacher that I wrote what he wanted to hear and read. Bart came along and confirmed it.

[punkrockllama]

This thing of "all non Christians are miserable" really grinds my gears. I've dealt with chronic depression most of my life and it has never been as bad as when I was a Christian. I no longer have people telling me (or am telling myself) that it's a personal or moral failing. Whether that's not having enough faith to be healed or some sort of sin causing it or being possessed.

When we're not Christian we're sick because we don't have god. When we are Christian it's not that god doesn't work - it's that we've failed somehow.

[stevegeorge]

I had to laugh when he got to the part about claiming that Bart ehrman isn't a happy man. As adult humans, we all struggle with finding fulfillment, joy, peace, but Bart ehrman is clearly doing about as well as can be reasonably expected. This is just the one way logic gate of Christianity manifesting itself in terms of reading emotions and mental health. In their minds, if someone ever finds joy, it is the free gift of God, but any suffering commensurate with The human experience is just a personal failing or part of the fallen nature or something.

[nathanjasper]

It's so weird that Christians think you need a reason to give to charity.

[pechaa]

James White is upset that his daughter now sees through him. I am a daughter in a similar position.

[rickwilliams]

The _Truth has nothing to fear from investigation._
*So when all else fails, attack the person doing the investigation.*

[ericpierce]

It's the usual thing: Ehrman's departure from the faith makes Christians uncomfortable, but they're incapable of addressing the arguments so they find fault with him personally. "He's an unhappy, unfulfilled man" and "he gives money to charity---I find that highly suspicious". They don't realize how transparent they are.

[pmtoner]

I guess "apostate" is what christians call their former members who have come to their senses
