  I&apos;ve recently experienced a personal renaissance regarding atheism and I forgot about Dan Barker until i came upon this video. He is great.

  I don&apos;t know if you will read this or not. If you do, great.<br><br>I was a student of yours in the 90s at Chapel Hill. You held office hours at the bar. You gave us a text that was not published but &nbsp;you were working on then printed and clamped with a plastic spine.<br><br>I took two of your classes in lieu of more western civ classes. You gave me a lot of snarky remarks both at your office hours and when I recommended the second class I took with you to a few of my peers and then again at office hours with them.<br><br>All that said, your classes and books allowed me to break out of a lot of narrow minded thinking that I grew up with in Gastonia, NC and become a much more successful and mindful person. I thank you for it. I appreciate your work and your scholarship.<br><br>Thank you.

  Who else tried to wipe the nail on the wall off of your screen for the first 10 min of watching?

  Brilliant. We need more scholars, and scriptural literacy.

  Bart Ehrman was the one who opened my eyes. I hated finding out I was lied to by my parents, &amp; everyone else. It is said &quot;you will know the truth when you hear it&quot;.....and he knows the truth. It took me many years of serious study to find my way out of the lies....and now I feel free.

  To put Agnostic and Atheist in a sentence I will apply what I read from a quote by Bertrand Russell: &quot;I am an Agnostic in a philosophical circle and an Atheist in general public &quot;.

  I have heard Dr Ehrman call himself an agnostic a number of times, sometimes quite emphatically denying that he is an atheist. &nbsp;It is refreshing to finally hear him acknowledge that many people, including him are BOTH.<br><br>Welcome to the club, Bart. &nbsp;
