Yeah, he was the one that wanted to do it. He read the fox news article and knew they wanted to focus on his faith, so he tried to direct the conversation away from the topic that got him the interview in the first place. A scholar writing a book about jesus is hardly interesting. Look at the number of sources he said, they were clearly interested in his faith and he wouldn't have ever ended up on any news channel or seller list without it. He definitely manipulated the situation to get his book noticed more.

Even if he wasn't, you know, a PhD Biblical Scholar, everyone seems to forget that Jesus was also a prophet to Islam.

Christianity should just take some lessons from Islam and force this guy into hiding by trying to kill him, lol.

Sure. After all, they've already done it to abortion doctors.

Lack of follow-through. A few rifle bullets to the head, the odd bombing, or arson can't compare to suicide bombing, for pure dedication.
