[Ehrman of revisionist fame, of course](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0061173940?ie=UTF8&tag=mereorth-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0061173940&ref=mereorthodoxy.com). And Colbert of late-night comedy show cynicism fame.

Best line? "What's the son of a duck? It's a duck."

Runner up? "Isn't it just possible that you're missing the point, and that Jesus is an elephant?"
