It’s more that the US is just drunk on ‘the bible’ which seems likely linked to the entire country being carpeted bombed in little 66 book KJV’s as a social experiment around the 1800’s and they just can’t stop rewriting it as they need a constant flow of novel Jesuses. This week it’s Mundane Markan Jesus duct taped to some bits from the Pauline corpus for lolz, The Gospel of Bart Ehrman for the masses that stopped going to masses but still need to cling to a personal Jesus.

I don’t even think Bart’s aware of what’s he’s doing, it’s completely bizarre.

If you hear the meme ‘most scholars agree’ alongside some claim from the SBL, run for the hills.
