Believer: Your Relationship with god is simply a profound and dynamic relationship with the self, with your ego. This is why god can seem so very real to you. In a sense he is real. He is you. This is why god's opinions are so very often your opinions. This is why two believers of the same religion can both claim to agree with god's opinion but not with each others. When you pray and god gives you answers you are the source of those intuitions. You are simply having a conversation with yourself and don't even realize it. This is why god can always assuage any doubts of the believer. You see, "God" knows exactly how you think because he is you. He knows your tastes, your biases and all the gaps in your logic. Therefore it follows that "he" knows what arguments you will find compelling and what mental gymnastics you are capable of to ignore any arguments to the contrary. Ironically I probably can't convince you of anything I stated above because of the very fact that it is in fact true. You are "god". The next time you hear someone preaching or waxing poetic about god, Jesus, Mohamed or Joseph Smith, change all the names and pronouns you hear them say, in your mind, so that they refer to the person speaking and trust me you will get a whole new perspective on life. This is why believers have such a strong emotional reaction whenever they encounter a non-believer. They simply misperceive the non-believers rational skepticism about the supernatural and occult as an assault on their "god" which is to say their own personal identity. There are a vast multitude of religions and superstitious beliefs in the world that espouse many mutually contradicting doctrines. Therefore they cannot all be true. but they can certainly all be false. Even if one were actually proven to be true it would still follow that human beings have a rather remarkable propensity for making up entire religions from whole cloth. I think that all religions and other supernatural beliefs are cultural phenomena of purely human making. Much of this impulse in human culture is driven by peoples existential angst, their innate and instinctive fear of death. Their own death and the death of the people they love. It can seem easier to deal with death by convincing ourselves that it is not real. "My loved one is not dead they are in the afterlife", we tell ourselves. And "Of course I will never die! that's absurd!". You all need to grow up. Embrace the suck! And make the most of the time you actually do have. You are mortal. Death is real...... Get over it. I sincerely and earnestly do not believe that gods exist. But you have each other. Perhaps that alone could bring meaning to your lives. However if you insist on believing in supernatural claims at a minimum please do us all a big favor and don't give your hard earned money to religion pimps and hucksters.

Richard's Carrier is frighteningly smart. Great asset to atheism advocacy.

In case you guys have not read the comments "Dee bunker" is absolutely destroying all the silly theists

The Jesus question is interesting but check out his books on Roman Science, even more interesting imo.

I only found out yesterday that there were many dying and rising gods, what an eye opener

Baptism for the dead! My cultural faith, Mormonism, is all in with that mythical ideation. You wouldn't believe the money they waste on this, as opposed to spending it on the elevation of the poor in the present real world. Elaborate temples, millions spent on searching genealogies, etc.

Carrier is brilliant in this video. He's his usual self, educational, straight shooter and without any BS. Very refreshing.

Ya know, There certainly has been a lot of empassioned discussion in this comments section, but I'm still waiting for someone to put forward one thing: Where is the scholarly book, written by a university professor, that challenges Carrier's results? Where is the peer-reviewed defense of historicity? What's the title? What's the doi number? Surely some religious studies professor has realized that he could make a name for himself, galvanize the faithful, make a ton of money, go on the lecture circuit, and be as famous as Bart Ehrman if he just gathered up all the evidence that everyone claims is out there, somewhere, and wrote such a book? I'd buy a copy in hardcover! Anyone?... Clearly this mythesism view isn't going to just fade away. Carrier's Historicity was published almost a decade ago. Where is the formal rebuttal? I find the silence from the academic community to be a little suspicious. The core of their professional world has been challenged, and they don't publish a detailed defense?

_Doctor_ Richard Carrier. I believe he earned it.

The batshittery of the Christian is alive and well in the comments section

Great video guys keep up the great work

Thank "God" for Richard...no pun intended. LOL. This man gives me hope that future generations will hopefully wake up and free themselves from the chains of religion.

I don't live in Milwaukee, and I am not an atheist, but I find this channel to be a fount of knowledge which I appreciate especially in this era of fanatical Christianism.

This is extremely interesting and useful. Thank you. :)

It just blew my mind when I heard that baptism is actually an older tradition practiced by polytheistic religions. You never hear that from any christian. Love this channel to death.

Carrier's OHJ is a great book, even if you don't agree with his conclusions. An excelent source of information if you're interested in proto-christianity or religion in general.

As I understand it Dr Carrier's book "On The Historicity Of Jesus" is in peer review.

Okay as Carl Sagan said about religions, Get rid of one religion and another one pops up in its place. P.S. People who need Gods and Saviors, Don't Think Outside Of The Box.

I only wish that this was in-person or a Zoom recording, where we can see the speaker's faces (especially Dr. Carrier). Because he really is an enjoyable author and charmastic researcher.

Thank you again for making my faith strong in Christ ,thank you Richard Carrier

he's one of the best!

Flip is upset that carrier is such a great scholar. Non of his arguments have ever been refuted

Found your channel from your Bible study with Aron Ra and the gang. Really glad I did. Lots of good content here.

love Richard. i’ve sincerely considered set up a crowd finder to get him and Bart in the same room. though i think an honest and through critique of On the historicity is required.

Regarding Christ, it's time for me to talk to my kids about sects...

"There can be only one!" : )

I enjoy learning from Dr. Carrier, but the audio on this, and some others, is annoyingly muffled. Too much so for me to continue to the end. Too bad.

Best video on youtube:" Horus ruins Christmas"....Funniest thang you've ever watched. Merry Christmas!!!

Still no rebuttals to a single argument. Carrier owned baby. now most scholars agree that Jesus was a myth based on no evidence.

20:25. I think the Mormons tried to do this with Anne Frank, the Jews were not pleased.

"DAMN HIM", lyrics by Caiaphas the High Priest, and sung by a small band of dancing Levites before Pontius Pilate. Adapted as the theme song to the Decker Hot Dogs t.v. commercial 1960's or 1970's era, sung by Roger Miller, lyrics adaption by Johnny Rivers. Damn Him. Damn Him. [Dang me. Dang me.] You oughta take a cross and hang Him. [They oughta take a rope and hang me.] Hang Him from the highest treeee!! [Hang me from the highest treeee!] Ben-Deker ain't Messiah to me. [Decker is the DOG for me.] Do do do do do - de do de - doe doe doe. [ one more time ] Do do do do do - de do de - doe doe doe. Ben-Deker translated is "Son of Piercings" (Isaiah 53, 1 Kings 4). He was pierced for our transgressions. The pre-incarnate Christ (Ben-Deker) served King Solomon's Court, 1 month of each year. Solomon was the Holy Spirit incarnate. He had 12 men serve his Court just as Jesus had 12 Disciples. The 12 Disciples of Jesus were incarnations of the Holy Spirit except for Judas ("a devil"), and Nathanial ("a true Israelite").

It's a shame I can't share your videos with fanatical Christians because of your "shout to the devil" intro. It will scare them off before watching your videos. Your videos seem to get to the heart of facts, I believe they need to see these videos, but they'll never get past your intro. =(

Horus most certainly dies and is resurrected, as a babe, it can be found on Mertinech Stela, of ce. 4thcentury bce.

Lose the rock&roll intro if you want to be taken seriously.

They actually used color/UV/IR filters to reconstruct the lost achemedies(sp?) method book. Not particle accelerators. I met the scientists that did it at the walters art museum where it was shown. Was amazing to see right in front of you the real thing that you were taught in school. Wasn't calculus, newton did calculus.

When I was in high school, our famous expression was "Ignorance is dangerous" I was completely ignorant about my religion: The Roman Catholic Church religion.

Does a "jesus christ" have wheels? I think it would be cool if it did and had dualies in the back powered by a cummins 6.7L V8 diesel power stroke. Jesus would drive a pick up with low MPG because oil companies are the work of god. "God gave all the green plants on earth to use even when it turns into black oil" Mathew 9:17.

God is infinite - Creates the universe 6000 years ago. FAIL

why don't you ask the source instead of measuring it against your opinion?

There are more parallels between the myths about Jesus and The Buddha than Horus. My personal theory is the SPARTACUS rebellion and his eventual crucifixion (71 BCE) is what may have inspired the various messianic movements in Judea.

Are any of the dying rising gods “fully god fully man”?

If the god of the bible had been portrayed as a king instead of a God , he would be remembered as the most evil, mass murdering, tyrannical dictator of all time! Christians give the bible god a free pass because, they say, he is god the creator. I don't see the difference whether man or god. If his actions were evil or immoral, as the bible states, then he'd be just as guilty of being evil as any human committing the same deeds.

The commonality of dying and rising comes from ASTROLOGY. Gods sonne, The Light Of The World. From the greatest STORY ever told. Shamash, the Hebrew word SUN, is the Babylonian SUN God.

god loves yiu guys and so do i.He is coming back like he promise.

There's a Sumerian wall plaque showing "libation scenes" that can be seen on the web site Ancient History Encyclopaedia. Given that the Sumerian civilization died out around 1750 BCE, could this baptism ritual have had other symbolic meaning than "washing away sins"? Or, were these mystery cults much older than Dr Carrier suggests?

I hate the Zeitgeist movie. The first time I watched it I was disgusted by how it just outright spewed nonsense that was obviously inaccurate. It's almost like christians made that movie just to make atheists look bad.

Wow! He totally butchered the scales of Ma'at/devourer judgment scene lol

Every regilitard should be forced to watch this. Get that cognitive dissonance going.

Why do you use Motley crew shout at the devil for this video. If you look at the music video for that they have demonic pentagrams lit on fire and it makes your intentions look bad. Very interesting choice for a song

You can attack anyone that happened 2000 years ago if you apply this to any of the scholars we quote today. Most the Gospel were written with over 500 people who saw Jesus after he rose from the dead. Records were not as credited as they are today. Go try and look up your own past & find out. I can barely prove I exist. Don't mean they didn't live. The Bible speaks for it' self. This is a fairly new teaching by the way. Most non=believer just tried to prove what He did not do. Miracles/ Rose from the death & such.

He says that Jesus figures were everywhere, then denies jesus was based on a real person. This seems a big contradiction.

The regular religions had mysteries in their mythology and secret ceremonies before the so-called mystery cults were identified. I don't read Carrier because he has missed the massive Roman input, and subscribed falsely to fictional characters like Paul, John, and, Pilate. That's not to mention Carrier's misinterpretation of the pseudonymous authors who validated his falsely-historicized characters. He has succeeded in keeping the Bible dumbed down. He's too ignorant to even connect Joshua with Yashar, an obvious pun on the "upright"=Yahweh. Josephus is not just a Jew, if he is a Jew. He is Jupiter also. He is captured at Iotta Potta, the town, Yadfat, twisted into a parallel name to Jupiter. He also misses Jephta & Japheth, and, several other Jupiters. Milwaukee Atheists wouldn't know how to find any of this. They just point to the same "authorities", much as Christians would, and place faith in what they say. Mythvision is even worse.

Jesus is the original Jesus Mr Carrier.

Carrier is brilliant and articulate as usual

I would love to know what your thoughts were on why you chose that particular song for your intro because it’s a super demonic video so if you don’t believe in this stuff it really looks like you do and you’re trying to mislead. If anything the song alone will make ppl think you’re under the influence of satan

I am who I am

the feather and hell are parables and feather is a symbol.the Egyptian are aware of its meaning,they know hell doesn’t exist.

Ok, well, the spell I'm most interested in learning is one called _True Seeing_ . I wish I could cast that spell on myself for a standard duration so I could see what's happening around me when I need to pay attention to that and so I could focus on more important and realer things when I don't detect any magical conspiracy afoot. I freely admit that I have no access to a spell of _True Seeing_ and that my understanding of Christianity is entirely based on wild guesses, coincidences, and third person accounts.

does it keep freezing for anyone else pissing me off

Of course Christianity was inspired by age old archetypes, but archetypes are psychological elements of the psyche much like explored by Carl Gustav Jung. We can also find apparition of archetypes in the hallucination of LSD users. Yet there was a messianic figure known as Jesus the Nazareen. Who was he really? We do not know. What was his exact teachings? We have an idea in the comparison of the 4 gospels. But we have to be careful before saying Christianity was all borrowed from other older religions. I quote Tim O'Neill, an atheist who has studied the scholarship on the historical Jesus, his Jewish socio-religious context and ... "Anyone researching this subject should beware of some of the wild and unscholarly online claims about "Messiahs who parallel Jesus" based on supposed similarities between the gospel stories and stories about various ancient gods and demigods like Dionysius and Mithras. Firstly, "Messiah" has a specific meaning unique (even in its Christian forms) to the Jewish tradition. We can't just consider any old god-man or demi-god as a "Messiah" because we choose to. Secondly, most of these so-called parallels are highly contrived, based on dubious interpretations or (in the case of most of the notorious ones claimed about Mithras) totally invented and without any evidential foundation at all. These "parallels" are beloved by kooky New Agers and by atheists who really should know better (yes, I'm looking at you QI and you as well Bill Maher), but they are pseudo historical nonsense." www.quora.com/Were-there-other-Messiah-stories-similar-to-Jesus-near-the-time-of-his-death-1

I know a lot of people named Jesus. Jesus Rodriguez, Jesus Hernandez, Jesus Garcia etc.

The name "Jesus" was a common name at that time. Barabus was also called Jesus. The idea of a savior isn't unique to Jesus Christ either. God said he sent many saviors.

Worst host ever. "Uhhhh, ummm, errr". Takes away from the content.

I am that I am

Growing up I watched so many garbage Jesus Gospel movies in English and Spanish. I would love it if a young director and producer would create a movie depicting early Christianity, the Jewish War and the creation of the Gospel according to Mark which became likely the influence for the other three...that would be fantastic...

I like Inanna. She's kinda cute, if she keeps her shoes on. (bird feet.)

thanks for upload

What Carrier is actually doing is he is the modern prophet of the Protector of Thrace and Lord of the Universe Zalmoxis, who He will return to save us all Praise Holy Zalmoxis

If we truly want to live our lives always for the sake of true peace and humanity; then we must ignore all religions, including that of the Pope and Christianity, because religions are all led by the many false prophets who are misleading us! We must therefore obey the true teaching of only Immanuel alone (the anointed one) also called Jesus. For he is the Son of man and the true prophet sent by the Lord God, to be always our one Teacher… “I will raise up for them a prophet like you [Moses] from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put my words in his mouth.” - (Deuteronomy 18: 18) - “God’s every promise has stood the test: he is a shield to all who seek refuge in him.” - (Proverbs 30: 5) - “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: A young woman is with child, and she will bear a son, and will call him Immanuel.” [“God-is-with-us”] - (The Prophet Isaiah 7: 14) - “God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” - (The prophet and Messiah Jesus Immanuel, at John 4: 24) - “Beware of false prophets, men who come to you dressed up as sheep while underneath they are savage wolves. You will recognize them by the fruits they bear.” - (at Matthew 7: 15-16) - “Any plant that is not of my heavenly Father’s planting will be rooted up. Leave them alone; they are blind guides, and if one blind man guides another they will both fall into the ditch.” - (Matthew 15: 13-14) - “Do not call any man on earth ‘father’; for you have one Father and he is in heaven. Nor must you be called ‘teacher’; you have one Teacher, the Messiah.” - (Matthew 23: 9-10) - “I am the light of the world. No follower of mine shall wander in the dark; he shall have the light of life.” - (Jesus, at John 8: 12) - “Take care that no one misleads you: For many will come claiming my name…” - (Matthew 24: 4) - “Many false prophets will arise, and will mislead many; and as lawlessness spreads, men’s love for one another will grow cold. But the man who holds out to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the Kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the earth as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come.” - (Matthew 24: 11-14) - “You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” - (John 8: 34) - “When you pray, go into a room by yourself, and shut the door. Pray to your Father who is there in the secret place; and your Father who sees what is secret will reward you. In your prayers do not go babbling on like the heathen, who imagine that the more they say the more likely they are to be heard. Do not imitate them. Your Father knows what your needs are before you ask him. This is how you should pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, Your kingdom come; your will be done, on earth as in heaven, Give us today our daily bread, Forgive us the wrong we have done, as we have forgiven those who have wronged us. And do not bring us to the test, but save us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if you forgive others the wrongs they have done, your heavenly Father will also forgive you; but if you do not forgive others, then the wrongs you have done will not be forgiven by your Father.” - (Matthew 6: 6-15) - “Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged. For as you judge others, so you will yourselves be judged, and whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt back to you.” - (Matthew 7: 1-2) - “Truly I tell you; if anyone obeys my teaching he shall never know what it is to die.” - (John 8: 51) - “Always treat others as you would like them to treat you: that is the Law and the Prophets. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life and only a few find it.” - (Matthew 7: 11-12) - “I am the gate; anyone who comes into the fold through me shall be safe. He shall go in and out and shall find pasturage. The thief comes only to steal, to kill, to destroy; I have come that men may have life, and may have it in all its fullness.” - (John 10: 9-10) - “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” - (Matthew 7: 21) - “I am the resurrection and I am life. If a man has faith in me, even though he dies, he shall come to life; and no one who is alive and has faith shall ever die.” - (John 11: 25-26) - “I have not come to judge the world, but to save the world” - (John 12: 47) - “Whoever then will acknowledge me before men, I will acknowledge him before my Father in heaven; and whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.” - (Matthew 10: 32-34) - “I am the way; I am the truth and I am life; no one comes to the Father except by me. If you knew me you would know my Father too.” - (John 14: 6-7) - “The disciples came and asked Jesus, ‘Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven?’ He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. And he said: ‘Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of Heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of Heaven. And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me. If anyone causes one of these little ones-those who believe in me-to stumble, It would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to stumble! Such things must come, but woe to the person through whom they come!’” - (Matthew 18: 1-7) - “Though many are called, few are chosen,” - (Matthew 22: 14) - “An expert in the law, [a leading religious Pharisee] tested him with this question: ‘Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?’ He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind. That is the greatest commandment. It comes first. The second is like it: Love your neighbour as yourself. Everything in the Law and the Prophets hangs on these two commandments.’” - (Matthew 22: 35-40) - “There is no greater love than this, that a man should lay down his life for his friends.” - (John 15: 13) - "Stay awake, and pray that you may be spared the test: The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." - (Matthew 26: 41) - “However, when he comes who is the Spirit of truth; he will guide you into all the truth.” - (John 16: 13) - “My task is to bear witness to the truth. For this I was born; for this I came into the world, and all who are not deaf to truth listen to my voice.” - (John 18: 37) - “Teach them to observe all that I have commanded you. And be assured, I am with you always, to the end of time.” - (Matthew 28: 20) - Yours always, in true Spirit and in our one given prayer, 2gointruth, Tuesday the 17th of March, 2020: - (Matthew 5:14-16) - Where every minute (of both day and night) can be a new beginning for any one of us. Let it always be you.

Zamolxis didn't die and resurect. Please check Strabo, "Geographica", Book VII and Herodotus "Histories", Book IV. 93-96. Better give correct information, not fake. The same fake information is in Zeitgeist (2007). What is wrong with you?

The Savior or avatar is a concept which exist in all religions and cultures which are always intimately related ... In Eastern beliefs the Savior or avatar comes to enlighten humanity many many times already and will continue to do so in minor and major cycles ... Usually only to His own people ... Not for the whole world ... Just like many prophecies are only for the people and cultures they came from ... Bible ... Sutras ... Bhagavad-Gita ... Torah.... Koran .... The Hopi and Cree Amerindian prophecies....... Tei bei Tu and other little known Chinese prophecies .... Amen ... ??? lol

Hey Christians, please explain why I should believe that virgin-born zombie Jesus had magic mucus superpowers? "When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, Do you see anything? He looked up and said, I see people; they look like trees walking around. Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly" (Mark 8:23-25). REALLY?!! Jesus is a demigod, but has to "spit on the man's eyes" because he has MAGIC SALIVA? And then he can't even get it right the first time!--has to try a second time to heal him!?? And I should believe this...why?--because some anonymous fanatic made a CLAIM in a book that also has stories about a talking snake, talking donkey, 900-year-old men, a virgin birth and zombies?

Did Joan of Arc exist? For that matter. Was Joan of Arc from a village/town/city named Arc? No. In 1429, Jehanne d'Arc (Joan of Arc) from the village of Domremy (Doe Ray Me) La Pucelle France, was most influential in the Dolphin, or Dauphin (Doe Fawn - "n" is silent), Charles VII, being crowned King of France. Joan may have been the first to sing the popular Rodgers & Hammerstein, Soung of Music, melody, but with her own lyrics: Doe, a deer, a female deer [Charles VII, the "Doe Fawn/Doe Faw" - heir apparent to the throne] Ray, the twin that cuts my hair [Joan's pages: Raymond & Louis] Me, a maid, they call myself [Joan's "Voices". Saints: Michael, Margaret, Catherine] Far, a long long way to run [an 11 days ride to Chinon, 500 leagues through enemy territory, to see Charles] Sew, a needle pulling thread [to make Joan's banner] La, a note to follow So [and precede Pucelle] Tea, a drink with jam and bread [just bread at Rouen - during Joan's long heresy trial] That will bring us back to.... Domremy Fa So La Pucelle Ti France ==================== What did Darth Gator say to the dolphin? " 'Fluke'. You are my fodder." What did D'Arc Vader, Jacques D'Arc(Joan's dark father), say to the Dolphin (Dauphin), Charles VII? " 'Fluke'. I am your father" D'Arc Vader's pet name for his illegitimate son the Dolphin of France. Was Joan the half sister of the Dolphin of France? Jacques D'Arc would have been about 22 years old at Charles' birth on February 22, 1403. Charles VII died on the feast day of Mary Magdalene, July 22nd. Was Joan of Arc the return of Mary Magdalene, just as John the Baptist was the return of EliJAH? Was Joan of Arc an incarnation of the Holy Spirit? I believe she was. [DID YOU KNOW??? That famous painter Vincent Van Gogh believed he was an incarnation of the Holy Spirit? Van Gogh's brother was named Theo, and Theo supported Vincent] Were Joan and Jacques D'Arc hereditary Templar Knights? Mary Magdalene is the Templar Patron Saint. FYI... In the 1999 TV mini-series (released on DVD), Joan of Arc, in the opening scene, Joan's dark father (D'Arc Vader) attempted to snuff out the life of his newborn daughter Joan (Jeanne, Jehanne). Jacques D'Arc wanted his wife Isabelle to save his sons, instead of caring for the newborn Joan, as the village of Domremy was about to be attacked by the Burgundians. Isabelle steps in and saves Joan's life. Years later, Isabelle has Joan's heresy verdict rescinded.

I just found out that Richard Carrier is not the only Richard Carrier! OMG!

Nice video. Just a mistake though: the Turks were not in the Asia Minor area back then. They came there several hundred years later around 1300 AD. So peoples there were Frygians, Lycians etc and later many Greeks (or Hellenized people).

Yes I know there is Jesus Son of Sirach

And you are not the only liar to stand behind a pulpit.

it seems you got that explanation for another dimension I can only suspect some sort of supernatural connection for that .

your right Jesus said they would be.

Carrier refers to Turks in his presentation during biblical times. As a respected historian, he is well aware, Turks are not indigenous to Middle East. The ancestors of Turks as we know them today, migrated to the area much later from the Mongolian region. As an Atheist I enjoy learning from his lectures but with such a misguided reference to Turks in B.C. Middle East, I wonder what else he claims is wrong?

I would love to see a similar break down of Luciferianism, Satanism, Hinduism, Buddhism, and many other RELIGIONS......JUST POINTING OUT THE MOST CURIOUS FASCINATION WITH ONE RELIGION TO ASCRIBE TO BE AGAINST.....TRUE ATHIESTS would also break down and dissect such sect religions as well... Thanks.

I looked up psalm 22, wow!

Christ will come back like the scripture says i guarantee.He will

The other guy who is not Richard...I really get anoyed by the way he talks

Isa:25:9: And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation. Isa:62:2: And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.

Don't know why folks like to muddy the water, but for this simple soul,if there ever was a Jesus there was the Pauline Romanised one and the militant Jewish Rabbi one who opposed the pagan Roman occupiers 0f the then Judea and paid for it with his life. Cant see what all thefuss and mystery is about.

The Bible talks about “clouds” going up and down with people going in and out. Clouds do not make those movements described in the Bible but spaceships do. Jesus ascended in a “cloud” (Acts 1:9). God rides in a “cloud” (Isaiah 19:1, Psalm 104:3). Jesus will come back “with” the “clouds” (Mat 26:64, Rev 1:7). Jesus will come back commanding a fleet of starships. The church will be raptured “in” the “clouds” (I Thess. 4:17). Spaceships will be used to rapture the church. The ancient did not have vocabulary or knowledge to understand what they saw so they called the flying objects “clouds”, “chariots”, and “pillars”, because was the words they had to describe something flying in the sky. The Bible even tells in Psalm 68:17 how many spaceships are in the fleet “The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands” (about 20,000). There is a good research done by Patrick Cooke called “The Great Deception - The Bible UFO Connection” which has the original words describing spaceships. It is all over the Bible. Jesus is real. He is the savior of the world but He is not seating in a puffy cloud. He is commanding a powerful army, which will take control of our planet.

He seems to know very little about ancient Egyptian religion.

Carrier refers more than once to "the Turks" in the ancient Mediterranean world. Which is rather embarrassing really. It shows a surprising gap in basic general knowledge. Because of course the Anatolians of that time were not Turks. The Turks didn't start coming into Asia Minor (Anatolia) en mass until about the 9th or 10th century CE (and the Battle of Manzikert wasn't until 1071 CE). So off by about a thousand years or more. It's actually incredible that an historian of the ancient Near East could be so ignorant of something as simple as which peoples were living there then. I'm inclined to put it down partly to his being American (no offence intended). (For the record, I'm not a Christian, or even a Jesus historicist.)

Yeah there is many Jesus. One is on the next door. Well he is more like "hesuus" in know. But there are many jesus in the word. And one who lives off the Earth.

YOU SAW IT HERE FIRST..... There is more evidence for the existence of Richard Carrier than there is for Yoshua ben Jakim ben Gennesarit. (sorry about the bad spelling. Maybe I need to be peer reviewed)

Great information, nothing has made me an atheist though.

6:25 - Turks in Anatolia in antiquity?

There is a glaring contradiction in atheism that is rarely addressed and that is that athiests dismiss evidence of cosmic radiation which points to a beginning of the universe. Atheism dismisses intelligent design for magic. The rules of this universe are something does not come from nothing so atheists must then believe the universe has always existed which evisence shows to be false. "But who or what created the creator?" I don't know, will never know and its irrelevant to the argument and a straw man at best. I give no credence to a sky king who whispers to me at night and cares whether I do or do not touch myself but I cannot definitively say there is no God as the universe existing is evidence otherwise.

are they saying there are two different flavors of cheezwiz......

Material science cannot attack spirituality - i.e. - the reality of Christ - because it is totally ignorant of this miraculous power.

There are many Jesuses, but only one Jesus Christ.

YES YOU ARE RIGHT, BUT AS YOU SEE,ONLY ONE MAD THE CUT!!!

I’ve heard before Jewish belief they came from Israelite polyistic teachings that were adapted from Canaanite beliefs??
