I didn't say you were. You are asserting that the Gospels were written by eyewitnesses. That's a belief of the fundamentalists. I was speaking of the belief, not you personally. If you wish to defend fundamentalist beliefs despite not being one yourself, be my guest.
And for the record, I consider a critical scholar to be one who follows the evidence wherever it may lead despite his or her personal pre-convictions.
And speaking of vague and inflammatory language, I'm not the one who referred to mainstream scholarship as "conspiratorial."
