Tim O’Neill & the Biblical History Skeptics on Mythicism
In April of this year the Biblical History Skeptics talked shop for three hours with Tim O’Neill (this Tim O’Neill) and I was invited to talk shop about that with Godless Engineer last month. The latter video has now gone live and you can watch it here....More Asscrankery from Tim O’Neill
I’ve already documented that the amateur rage blogger Tim O’Neill is a hack and a liar in the Gullibility of Bart Ehrman & the Asscrankery of Tim O’Neill. How he responded to being caught lying and screwing up basic facts of history illustrates...On the Gullibility of Bart Ehrman & the Asscrankery of Tim O’Neill
As someone recently clued me to, the indomitable asscrank Tim O’Neill had posted a comment on Ehrman’s blog back in 2013 lambasting my peer reviewed article on the James passage in Josephus, to which Ehrman responded “Terrific comments!! Many...What Did Paul Mean in Romans 1:3?
Tim O’Neill is at it again, on Twitter this time, making false claims about my work, and about the Epistles of Paul. The item of contention again is my proposal that when Paul said Jesus was “made from the sperm of David” (which is literally what...Spencer Alexander McDaniel on the Historicity of Jesus
A patron has hired me to write a response to an article by an undergraduate “studying the classics at Indiana University Bloomington” called “Was Jesus a Historical Figure?” on her expansive website Tales of Times Forgotten. Her name is Spencer...Sports Writer Writes Weird Word-Wall about Peer Reviewed Journal Article He Doesn’t Like
A certain Colin Green, sports enthusiast and author of How To Run A Football Club, maintains an amateur Christian apologetics blog called The Truth of Things. Where he wrote a tediously long attempt at rebutting my peer reviewed scholarship in the Journal of Early...Lena Einhorn on the Claudian Christ Theory
Editor, physician and documentarian Lena Einhorn has written a book, A Shift in Time, arguing a new theory of the historical Jesus: that he actually was a violent rebel from the era of Claudius, who was later whitewashed into a pacifist from the era of Tiberius. My...The Bizarre Fugue of Larry Hurtado
Biblical historian Larry Hurtado went on a rant against mythicism recently. In which, once again, like nearly every other expert has done, all he does he give excuses for not reading the peer reviewed literature of his own field and (as one could then have predicted)...Thanksgiving Pubmeets All Across the Southwest!
I’m going to be making a monster drive to California and back, four days each way. I’ll have a ton of books in stow. Not literally; surely their gross weight will be substantially less than a ton. But in any case, many. This will happen the week before and...What Dawkins Is Proposing Is the Suppression of Free Speech and the Acceptance of Sexism in Science
Hyperbolic whining when criticized is the male analog to the trope of women crying when criticized. So it’s ironic to see Richard Dawkings “crying” (over and over again) about a male peer being criticized for saying maybe women should be segregated...List of Responses to Defenders of the Historicity of Jesus
Since my book On the Historicity of Jesus was published, for convenience I have been collecting here links to all the responses I’ve published to defenders of the historicity of Jesus. This article will be continually updated with new entries. Within the listed...Get Dr. Carrier’s Latest!
