HE brings up seperation of church and state which had NOTHING to do with what ML posted
ML didn't say Ehrmans choices made him "anything less in the eyes of U.S. law.", he just said in his opinion it;s hard to be a CHristian and an agnositc at the same time.
THen quote more academic credentials
Again, as SM has shown again and again, being able to quote others opinions and "facts" is very different than being intelligent.
Where has ML ever said that people should be denied any choice thay make in terms of religion?
