I would love to spend more time on this blog.

But as everyone knows: I’m an internet hardass. If you cross my path, I will spank your ass cheeks blood red. And I’ve been doing a lot of spanking in overtime.

Ask anyone on the streets, “what do you think of when world renowned shitposter Beau Montana comes to mind?”. And every last one of them will say, VERBATIM: “he’s one of the premier armchair historians of our age in the field of the historical Jesus and early Christianity, particularly in regards to the Gospel of Mark.”

So when such an honor is bestowed upon you, you can’t let transgressions like this go unpunished:

Bart Ehrman…noted atheist and academic…vehemently argues for the existence of the historical Jesus.

Perhaps the Instagram poster thought: “it’s common knowledge that Bart Ehrman argues for the historical existence of Jesus, so maybe my audience will think this meme will be ATTACKING Ehrman by using his own words against his claims.”

OR, as is most likely, the poster has no idea what Bart Ehrman actually argues, and lazily reposted this image which makes Ehrman look like he’s arguing against the historical Jesus.

That’s intellectual laziness and I’m not having it, especially since the public places their trust in me to provide valuable information and analysis.

To vent my frustrations, I took to the newest invention from our Lord and Savior Mark Zuckerberg, THREADS.

The result has been my most interacted with content I have ever posted to social media. Unfortunately I can’t link to it because it appears that Threads is still only in app form. But I’m proud of myself for adequately defending mine and Ehrman’s position with such gems as:

And

So rest assured that in this age of misinformation you still have people like me defending the truth with all the intellectual rigor required of a true scholar
