Critics
Funny, seems as though Wikipedia editors have left out any criticism on this individual. I wonder why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.111.36.194 (talk) 17:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
- Looks like a vanity article to me too. Roger Pearse (talk) 13:38, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
You are a wikipedia editor too. We all are. Feel free to cite criticism of Dr. Avalos - God knows many people have something against him. Craklyn (talk) 19:44, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
- For the time being, it's sufficient to say that Avalos is just an anti-religion troll. All militant atheists are trolls, period. 189.120.176.28 (talk) 16:43, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
Myther?
Does Hector Avalos support the Jesus Myth Theory? I tried to find some info on his position but he doesn't mention this idea in most of his writings and debates which I've seen. Has he spoken on this? Thanks, Bulbear4444 (talk) 17:48, 19 December 2010 (UTC)
I took an Iowa State court taught by Avalos on the New Testament almost a decade ago. We used Ehrman's New Testament textbook which dedicates some pages to the historicity of Jesus. As far as I can remember, Avalos shared the point of view of Ehrman that there is sufficient evidence that Jesus the historical person existed. Craklyn (talk) 17:42, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
