Well, Dan, you fail your Christian theology test. The Nicene Creed says, "We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father . . . through him all things were made." He predates the incarnation.

I'm sure that's exactly what she was trying to say.

It's about time that 4th century theology scholars received some coverage on daytime tv.

I think the charitable interpretation is that she's garbling the theological point--see, also, the opening of the Gospel of John--with the historical question about when Christianity, as a religion with adherents, came onto the scene.

Sure. But that charitable interpretation doesn't, y'know, really help. Since the point at hand is clearly about historical Christians-- thrown to the lions and all-- and since she says many times that nothing predates Christians, the fact that she can't process the difference between Christians and God the ostensible Son, even when pressed on it, doesn't do her any credit.

Let's not forget that Sherri Shepherd makes in all likelihood more money than all of you professors and smart people.

You know why? Because she produces more social value than you !

PS. This is almost enough to turn me into a communist. Almost.

I wish that someone had pressed her about whether there were Jews before Christians.

Did Star Wars take place before or after the world was flat?

Doesn't her Bible have an Old Testament? Since Jesus doesn't show up until the second half of the book, there has to have been a time before Jesus. OMFG.
