IF it's Easter season, it must be time to bash the Christians

When I was in college, the "experts" said that the gospels were "false" because they were written 300 years later...then scholars found manuscripts dating back to 100 A.D.

And the "hidden gospels" which were really written in 300 AD (and were based on a gnosticism that became de rigeur only after 100 AD) are touted as truer than the down to earth pithy gospels everyone reads in church...

Now we are told a new "manuscript" written in Coptic, not Aramaic, dating to 300 AD gives us "insight" into the gospels...

This is being funded by National Geographic, the same guys who had an entire hour special discussing the DaVinci Code (when anyone criticizes DVC, they are ridiculed: It's only fiction...then why does it get all this attention by non fiction type people?)

Maybe the reason I am cyinical is that no Christian scholar was asked about it in the ABC article...yes, they quote an "evangelical" scholar, but he says ""Well, it would mean among other things that Jesus had some kind of death wish, for a start," Witherington said. "And it would raise some questions about his character..."

Ummm...I think that's the whole point...

So, you can say Jesus faked his death, married a slut, and said a lot of higfalutine weird things...and the MSM will report it breathlessly, along with the latest "findings" of the Jesus Seminar...

This happens every Christmas and Easter time...and my question is: Why? Why does the MSM go out of it's way to ignore and even attack the beliefs of a couple hundred million Christians every Easter?

Perhaps because it's not like Mohammed's cartoons...the MSM knows darn well that crowds of rioting Baptists won't burn down ABC news, nor will suicide bomber nuns try to bomb the NG society...

The Anchoress' comments on this are worth reading: LINK

She mentions the "Jesus didn't walk on water, he carefully balanced on thin ice" article that is making rounds.
Well, there is another explanation for this HERE...
