But even taking these into account, there is not a single mythicist who teaches New Testament or Early Christianity or even Classics at any accredited institution of higher learning in the Western world.[/COLOR][/indent]

That is perfectly true. I can confirm that not a single professor at the Landover Baptist University for the Saved has ever mentioned even the possibility that Jesus didn't exist. How silly can you get?

Let me quote my old post and point out that I (and Bart Ehrman) was right: There's not a single professor in a teaching position at any accredited institution, who would presume to suggest that Jesus never lived in the flesh.
A TOP priest has been forced to quit a Bible-teaching job after writing a book claiming Jesus did not exist (Irish Sun)
Fr Tom Brodie makes the claim in Beyond the Quest for the Historical Jesus.
The publication sparked fury in his order and he was removed from his post at the Dominican Biblical Institute in Limerick, which he helped set up.
According to documents seen by the Irish Sun, the veteran scholar was also banned from any lecturing, teaching or writing while a probe is under way.
It is understood Fr Brodie has questioned the existence of Jesus since the Seventies but had until now been unable to make his views public.
He spent 12 years working on the project — the subject of which came as a shock to his superiors when published in October.
In the book, Fr Brodie insists many of Jesus’s acts were a rip-off of the Hebrew Bible or, in some cases, of earlier texts.
Praise Jesus! My words (and Ehrman's words) are as true in the U.S. of A. as they are in Ireland. The Jesus-deniers can run, but they can't hide.
