100%. I don't think that the accusations that Billy was making, they're not unusual in the sense of... I'm not really sure where Billy got a lot of... the arguments that he actually articulates from. Because like I said, Wikipedia articles could debunk him. Like you look on, he uses something like the Gospel of the Holy 12 for his evidence.

Well, the Gospel of the Holy 12 on the Wikipedia article will tell you this is a 20th century forgery. Like we don't have any evidence before the 20th century. It was designed by a group that was trying to prove that Jesus was a vegetarian. but it's not a historical document.

And so if we're going off of something like the Gospel of the Holy Twelve or the Gospel of Barnabas, which is the one he uses for the denial of the crucifixion.

So the Gospel of the Holy Twelve. Yeah, so there you go. So the Gospel of the Holy Twelve, first serialized in the Lindsay and Lincolnshire Star newspaper between July 30th, 1898 and March 10th, 1901, presents vegetarian versions of traditional teachings and events described in the canonical New Testament. So this isn't something that has historical provenance.

So it's not something that has kind of a paper trail going back into the ancient world. There are ancient apocryphal documents that you could capitalize on, Gospel of Thomas, Gospel of Peter, but this is not one of them. So to choose this as your document to prove something I'm just not entirely sure why you would go about that particular route.

Or the other one is the Gospel of Barnabas, which is the one that Billy brought up with me, which is a clear middle-aged forgery. It's not... And that's not a contested fact. It paraphrases Dante's Inferno. It has glaring historical inaccuracies. It... has geographical mistakes.

It says that Jesus is the Messiah, but he's not the Christ, indicating that the author had no idea what those two words meant and that they were the same words in different languages.

Yeah, I think it's a both-and situation. I think Billy's unusual in that he has brought forward arguments that I've never seen before. So usually you get kind of the typical... arguments that are repeated, and sometimes it's repeated ad nauseam. Accusations of the Council of Nicaea in 325 inventing the books of the Bible as the canon of Scripture. That's the sort of Da Vinci Code-esque argument.

And you can trace where the paper trail of that goes to, because you can see that Dan Brown in the Da Vinci Code got it from a previous book called Holy Blood and Holy Grail, and Holy Blood and Holy Grail appears to have got it from Voltaire, who used a document called the Synodicon Vedis.
