Most of their claims are "pretty out there." They've sat in their meetings and discussed which sayings of Jesus they personally think he might actually have said. All based on their own personal opinions and preferences. With little or no scholarly support. A classic example of men trying to make God in their own image. The founder says, "there was little evidence for the view that Jesus was illegitimate." There is actually little evidence for ANY of the opinions expressed by the members of the "Jesus Seminar." You are right that this is all about getting attention and money. These yahoos get media attention while real Bible scholars are ignored.
