Discussing the New Book Today and Tuesday
Heads up to all my patrons! Tonight I’ll be discussing The Obsolete Paradigm of a Historical Jesus, which is now shipping in the US (and it should soon beyond, although our dumb trade war might be slowing that), on the Godless Granny show early this evening...Public Zoom on Inanna and Other Resurrected Gods
Quick notice: I discussed the possible evolution and diffusion of resurrected god ideology in the ancient West, in a live public Zoom. The video (mostly just audio over slides) is now archived here (with the slides here but they are only useful with the...Welcome to My New Comments System!
I have finally upgraded my dinosaur and failing commenting system on my blog with the shiny new wpDiscuz platform. Unfortunately this might have killed all the old comments subscriptions you may have had running. You can start new subscriptions with the new system...I’m Now on Bluesky
I’ve been waiting to see which “alternative” social media would be both workable and gain enough traction to out-compete in membership all the others. The vote is in. I have now launched a presence on Bluesky (@richardcarrier.info). You can see the...I Am Now an Amazon Associate in Ten Countries!
I now have Amazon Affiliate status outside the U.S.! If you usually buy things on a foreign Amazon site, then when you click an Amazon link on my site (any link in any article or on any of my recommendations pages), it should redirect to your nation’s Amazon...Is This Possible!? Giving an Amazon Sales Event a Try
I don’t imagine this is possible, but I was curious enough to try: if I can generate $1500 in sales through my Amazon Associates link, they will give me a “bonus” of $45. A whole forty-five dollars! In addition to my usual commissions on those sales...We Have a Home!
Thank you to everyone who donated or brought me paying work to help us make closing costs on a new home. I appreciate everyone’s support. Our timeline was tight but we did it. Our rental home being sold, we had to vacate by end of this month. But we closed on a...Please Help Get Me Some Fast Work to Buy a Home!
My family has been hit with the need to buy a house six months earlier than our financial plan, because our rental home is being sold. We may have to move within sixty days even. Which means we need cash for closing costs, stat! There are various ways you can help...Use My Promo Code to Attend the Latest eConference on Religious Trauma!
…and you’ll get a discount on tickets to the June 10-11 virtual academic conference on Religious Trauma hosted by the Global Center for Religious Research. It will bring together clinicians, researchers, and survivors from all over the world to discuss the...Last Call: I’m Moving to Georgia!
One of my girlfriends and I are getting married (yes, we’re both still polyamorous; everyone always asks) and I’m moving to Georgia (yes, the other side of the country; the South; humid town; etcerera). This means this is the last chance for anyone in...New Video Course on New Testament Studies for Everyone!
I am gradually transitioning my online courses to a high-quality video-and-syllabus format through MythVision. The first to launch is my course on New Testament Studies for Everyone. You can check out a five-minute video describing that course and how it works. And...Help End Those Annoying Nonce Errors
Some commenters have at random times been unable to post comments on my blog because of a “nonce” error. A “nonce” in this context means a “one-off” token code that helps the site keep track of your activity on a webpage so hackers...How I’d Answer the 2020 PhilPapers Survey
After reviewing the new 2020 PhilPapers Survey, I can say none of my views have changed; while philosophy as a field has slowly crept more toward my views than not (see my previous article, The New 2020 PhilPapers Survey, which also covers my thoughts on some of the...The New 2020 PhilPapers Survey
In 2009 a very useful and enlightening research study was done polling the opinions on key subjects of thousands of philosophers, called the PhilPapers Survey (something I wish someone would fund for Biblical Studies). Well, that study was repeated, with substantial...My New Article in SHERM
Last year I gave a presentation for the GCRR conference on atheism (Come See Me & Others Speak at the 2020 International eConference on Atheism!). This year I will be reprising that appearance on another subject (Come See Me & Others Speak at the 2021...Get Dr. Carrier’s Latest!
