Bible Criticism Debate: Ehrman vs. Colbert

The irony in these clips is that Ehrman, an agnostic text critic, often uses rhetoric to persuade audiences. His ability to speak and write on a more "likable" level, allows him to elevate an otherwise boring topic (text criticism) to the platform of the New York Times Best Seller List.

In other words, Ehrman often blindfolds his audience with rhetoric while he slays them with his fallacious conclusions concerning God's Word.  And he has done this on a large scale.

Ehrman is a brilliant man, and witty.  Unfortunately for him, however, he is not as witty as Colbert.  Here is a case in point.  (Disclaimer: I am not in agreement with Colbert on some of his points, as well as some comments he makes for the sake of humor)
