I think Richard would concur with a lot of the points made in Dennis R McDonald book 'The Homeric epics and the Gospel of Mark', ..also turned into a brilliant video series here on TH-cam by TruthSurge "Excavating the Empty Tomb". Well worth a watch if you've not seen it.
Good to hear Carrier mention the fact that historical characters can be mythologised. Sometimes he comes across as thinking that the highly mythological character of Jesus of Nazareth as indication of his entirely mythic nature and origin. Good to know he thinks this fact does not influence the probability of the historicity of Jesus.
Someone who turns water into wine, commands demons into swine, curses a fit tree and walks over water can only be fictional. We have so many characters in antiquity who did all kind of miracles but we consider these not to be real but the one fictional character we have grown up in the culture we were born into.
After analyzing the behavior of these sub-atomic particles - which can move faster than the speed of light and have the ability to “unstick” space and matter - using technology created in 2005, Kaku concluded that the universe is a “Matrix” governed by laws and principles that could only have been designed by an intelligent being. “I have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an intelligence.

This guy claims that Jesus didn't exist, because all of the bogus stories that don't contain evidence for Jesus, don't contain evidence for Jesus. then he goes on to explain how the bogus stories got their bogusness. So fucking what?! Does he have anything about Jesus, or not?
***** I have never found any problems with his sources, or any of his research in general. I just think he goes too far with his conclusions. I also am unaware of any atheist network that kisses his ass. I have seen many atheists, including myself, that are quite critical of him.
ask atheist will you worship God if He exist. they will tell you ,no. so why do they ask for proof of the existence of God. it's all party of there plan. They already know God exist. That is why these videos exist.
Wow, because we wouldn't be blinded by blind worship of a cruel and ruthless judge in the sky. It would be like praising an insecure god for eternity in a celestial North Korea.

He goes over it briefly and cites it in his book 'On the Historicity of Jesus: Why We Might Have Reason for Doubt'
@27:43 I wonder if this is Anthony Magnabosco who has a TH-cam channel on street epistemology? I highly recommend checking it out either way.

Rui Afonso He makes this very clear in his book

did the writers matthew mark luke and john know each other
Don't know but do know that they were written anonymously with names added later.
This programme was broadcast from a film crew stationed on a satellite orbiting Richard Carriers ego.
LOL!
Bartacus At least Carrier exists.
Bartacus No offense, but I watched many talks with him and I never thought he had a huge ego. Can you please explain why he has an ego problem?

Every time I hear Richard Carrier I get an image of Dennis the Menace giving a book report.

God is light.

longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you.

According to you god is light: The consequence is that about 20 gods (light bulbs) exists in my home but the sun god excel them all.
God made the stars.
and Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Light.
Yes, very possible. Yes not provable, by human standards.

No one has any evidence for Jebus, that's the whole point
M Why would stating the obvious be the point?
Considering the number of people who still believe Iron Age Palestinian fairy tales I'd say he's hardly stating the obvious
M The number of people that believe that is irrelevant, as they are obviously wrong, and none of this is relevant to if there actually was a Jesus.
ask atheist will you worship God if He exist. they will tell you ,no. so why do they ask for proof of the existence of God. it's all party of there plan. They already know God exist. That is why these videos exist.
Wow, you're so smart. You got us, bro
