As #Christian #apologetics gets dumber, so do defenses of the #historicity of #Jesus as witnessed in the embarrassing travesty of archaeologist Ken Dark's 7-page (!) defense against those dastardly #mythicists & their #blasphemous #JesusMyth #mythicism www.richardcarrier.info/archives/40833
Part 2 of the Freethinker series on my 3 books on the #historiccity of #jesus - today: On the Historicity of Jesus: Why We Might Have Reason for Doubt (2014), where we talk about what my results were, and why.

‘Deciphering The #Gospels Proves #Jesus Never Existed’: Questions, part 1 - argues the case for Jesus #mythicism, which is the view that Jesus never existed on earth in any real form but was an entirely #mythical figure in the same way as #Hercules or #Dionysus.

#JesusMyth #mythicism
A heavily saturated, deep-fried style meme featuring a traditional religious painting of Jesus with his arms raised, flanked by two angels on a vibrant pink and red background. Bold white text with a black outline reads: "THE ONLY EVIDENCE THERE IS FOR A HISTORICAL JESUS ARE: 1) HYPOTHETICAL SOURCES 2) VAGUE STATEMENTS FROM PAUL 3) AD-HOC SPECULATIVE CLAIMS THAT HE MUST HAVE EXISTED"
The only evidence we have for a historical Jesus is actually pretty thin and not very convincing.

On Godless Engineer this Thursday to react to Tim O'Nell's disaster interview of Bart Ehrman on #jesus #mythicism where they can't follow a grammatical argument & don't know what's in my book even as they struggle to flip through it. Come share a whiskey!

I answer the claim #Jesus is better attested than #Aristotle by running a #bayesian analysis of the evidence for Aristotle we lack for Jesus, a reason why historians are sure Aristotle existed but shouldn't be for Jesus.

Tomorrow night, live! @GodlessEngineer on the #bartehrman #fiasco & #mistakes . Why are #historians phoning in responses to #mythicism ? Why can't they read the #peerreviewed literature on it? Why can't they do their jobs? Let's just admit #Jesus is doubtable.

Christ Before Jesus is a book that just makes things up. At least that's what I explore in this article. Honestly, this is one of the worse books on Jesus mythicism that I've read.

I'm looking at Steven Novella's view on Jesus, which borders on the Christ-Myth theory. While he's a great scientist, he's simply out of his depth when it comes to history.
@theskepticsguide.bsky.social #historicaljesus #mythicism #christmyth #jesusexisted
Steven Novella is a great skeptic, but terrible historian. In this series, I dive into his position on the Historical Jesus, and show the where he falls short, while also discussing the idea Jesus didn't exist.

A different believer (of the Preparing for ET Contact kind) pleasantly gets my best explanation of the plausibility of #mythicism & why getting #Christians to see they are worshipping the #Antichrist is still more useful than convincing them #Jesus didn't exist

The Jesus-myth idea is often ignored by scholars. That has been a terrible tactic, because it has left the view unchecked. Which is why I'm working on a series of works that tackles this view. Carrier's work is one of the first I'm going through.
#exatheist #mythicism #exevangelical
This book is a great example of how you don't respond to criticism. I get it, Ehrman did a poor job in his own book, but puffing out one's chest, while also whining, doesn't serve any real purpose. I'm working on a rebuttal to most of these articles, but just wow. #mythicism #exatheist #jesusmyth
A new show is out that has an extended interview of me on the #historicity of #Jesus and why the idea meets so much irrational resistance...

To Paul, Jesus' body was manufactured directly out of the seed of David... at least, that's what Paul most likely indicated initially.

Tonight, we are analyzing a recent debate on whether Jesus existed or not.

Do you think there is more evidence for a Historical Jesus than for Caesar? Then check out this video:

This guy seems to think Jesus existed for literally no good reason at all... it's just easier to believe than not...

According to Paul, Jesus wasn't from Nazareth or Bethlehem. Both of those places are scripturally inspired, not historical. Paul only uses words indicating that Jesus was manufactured by God.
Our earliest records do not place Jesus as being born in the ordinary sense...
#atheism #atheist #religion #mythicism #christianity #christmyth #jesusisamyth
The Identity of the figure of Jesus in Paul's letters is not of a man crucified under Pilate, born of Mary and Joseph, who walked Galilee and calmed storms. If Paul believed in such a figure, his message of the flesh would not make sense. Thomas S. Verenna
Paul did not believe in a historical Jesus whatsoever.

Truth Wanted (on YouTube) just ran an episode with godless engineer really hammering home #mythicism was quite good

This connects well with St. Paul much later. Paul was primed to the idea of a dead Messiah and the David line being spiritual not physical.
