i watched this last night too, and i cringed a little bit.
i LOVE colbert and i thought the interview was hilarious. i guess all of colbert's guests know what they are getting themselves into. colbert asks question. guest begins to answer. colbert interrupts, delivers his own answer. makes audience and me laugh.
i haven't read ehrman's book he was promoting last night, but i have read misquoting jesus. it's pretty interesting.
i think he only argues "relative" truth, which is a good discussion to have methinks.
it's funny, though. i always am waving my colbert flag, but last night i just wanted him to let ehrman finish a sentence. guess that's what i get for taking the bible seriously.
stupid bible.
Yeah I know what you mean. Sometimes he has somebody on and I'm really interested in hearing what they have to say, but he keeps interrupting. It would have probably been good to hear more from this guy. I always tend to learn more about the Bible from someone who doesn't share my perspective or personal beliefs. But I have to say, I enjoyed this.
lol Funny!
Bart Ehrman has very disturbing logic. If Colbert let him finish his thoughts, he still wouldn't have sounded much better. Really, Colbert may have done him a favor.
If this is the best logic that skeptics have, then I think the faith is doing pretty good. One skeptic tells us that the Gospels are too much alike to be counted as four individual sources, but rather they all come from some source, e.g. Peter, Mark, Q, etc. Yet Erhman is saying they are different. Erham makes "logic" like "We must asssume that Christ wasn't resurrected, because resurrections are not a natural part of history." That's circular reasoning. He uses his premise to make his conclusion.
If you want to see more of Erhman, here is a link to a debate he had with William Craig:

Anyway, with that said, it was pretty funny :)
