I read the article on your blog about the Erhman / Carrier debacle.

A rich man once told me , you don’t get rich by accident , especially if you had to work for it. That statement didn’t make complete sense until I read the above mentioned article. We know what Bart’s credentials are and that he is an expert in his field. For him to draw the conclusions he does based on the evidence he is aware of means that he is trying to sound luke warm to Christians . What I mean by that is that he is deliberately giving Christians a glimmer of hope that Jesus existed so that hopefully Christians will buy his book and quote him in their church or talks to give credence to their cause. The Christians will start off mentioning Erhman’s credentials and then state how even this “highly respected agnostic Bible scholar” believes in the historicity of Jesus.

As an academic his view point actually undermines his other work as it brings into question his true motives for other major conclusions he has come to iro Christianity. Is Bart refusing to state the obvious so that his views can reach a broader audience ? I cant say for certain . But he sure is making a lot of money out of whatever misinformation he is spreading .

It just goes to show , if you preach bullshit and confirm whatever people want you to confirm you can make a lot of money from it.

If the early writers of Christianity wrote gospels without miracles no one would have retained it . Human beings want the bullshit . It feeds their fantasy addiction.

I have memories of meeting someone who claimed to be Richard Carrier at least three times, but then human memory is a highly fallible construct, and I was drinking each time, so I am probably delusional. But nonetheless, I too am sad that the odds of forming more false memories of meeting Dr. Carrier have decreased for me.

Good luck, Richard!

Nooo! Without you living near me, the number of talks of yours that I can attend in-person will be drastically diminished! Won’t you think of the poor (actually rich) stranger who you only met like 3 times!

I wish you the best.

Richard Carrier is a euhemerized historian created by third millennium skeptics to give credentials and authority to Doherty’s writings.

If you find yourself in San Diego, you will always have a place to stay. My wife and I will aways welcome you and your family. We have a guest apartment. and you’re welcome to it. Just let us know when you need it. Of course, we’re sorry to see you moving farther away. But perhaps it’s God’s will. Those people in Ohio need you more! Good luck!
