Pacedog: I just re-read Aslan's Notes which proceed the Introduction, and the introduction. He doesn't slam or de-mean the guy you call Jesus, not once.
What offends you, clearly, is that a non-Christian scholar would attempt to write the story of the historical Jesus as a piece of real history. If you want pure religious perspective, you have the New Testament. Neither Aslan nor any other modern historian approaches Christ's story from that platform. Nor should they.
You're pissed because this historian happens to be a Muslim and since you obviously haven't read any of his book, you assume he slams Christ.
Once again you prove your redneck background -- you're uneducated, opinionated, and you probably hate scholars or scientists with the same bigoted venom you reserve for Muslims.
If someone wants to disagree with Professor Aslan's historical interpretations, that's more than acceptable -- even to him (he says so in his "notes)."
But that isn't your gambit. What you want is a world where the only version of the Christ story is the one from the Bible of your choice.
Your world is a world filled with cretans who reject all science and who constantly whine that they are the real downtrodden minority.
Hell I'd rather be surrounded by Reza Aslans than people like you.
