But having interacted with "The Crayon Project", where a group of academics argue on the basic of nonexistent manuscripts that the real testimony of the Apostles was different than that of the Gospels, I can give a quick summary for those without half an hour to listen; once you dispense with the Gospels as authoritative documents about Christ, you can't conclude that much about Christ.

Well, yes, and if you get rid of all the physics textbooks, you could theoretically argue that Aristotle had it right, I guess. But that doesn't make it a coherent theory that can stand a qualitative or quantitative test.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
