    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.

      Garbage... There is nothing inside of human beings THAT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR LIFE AND THE UNIVERSE. That is, no man is a God. Even cave men and ancient tribal communities looked at their surroundings and paid tribute to something GREATER than themselves. Here, The Atheist doesn't have the basic intellect of ancient tribal societies who paid tribute to their God or Gods. Prayer is not believers talking to themselves; prayer is tapping into a Greater power and paying tribute to that power that is the source of life for everything. The human being starts as a drop of liquid and evolves into a human being. Would it be logical for sperm to argue that there is no life after the sperm cycle? Now the sperm is a grown man and OPEN DISPUTER to the ONE who made him. Figure it out. JUDGEMENT is the next cycle of life for human beings.

      Poor Immanuel!
      Nobody ever calls him his proper name.
      Not even his Daddy Isaiah who had to bed the presumed virgin because she would not get pregnant by herself... and the boy who ended up with this ridiculously long and complicated name presumably died a few centuries before Jesus could be born as pretender to the messiah title, neither fitting the premise of the messiah prophecy, the acts alleged to the Messiah nor the fate (he should NOT have died as rather young man on a cross, that's a completely different prophecy not even alleging to referring to the messiah, but of old age after bringing victory to Israel... oooops!)

    • @MikeJw-je4xk

      Irena Horvat Jesus was a fictional fulfillment of prophecy. Stories passed on and enhanced verbally for decades before being written by anonymous people over centuries who can't even agree content wise. Some blatently copying others. As proof of failed actual prophetic (just more fiction anyway) fulfillment, Jews do not recognise Jesus as anything other than a more than common prophet, not devine at all.
      At any rate, religion's time has long passed. If religious childhood indoctrination is ever ended, religion will die. All the religions and gods started many millennia ago when men were superstitious & ignorant about the world and cosmos. That's how myth works. Only scientifically ignorant or indoctrinated (brainwashed) people believe this ridiculous nonsense. Sad.

      Plus, both genealogies record Jesus as descending from "the accursed branch of Jesse", whose sons shall never sit on the Throne of David because their father did that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord. This is the blood curse of Jeconiah. Jeremiah 22:30 “This is what the LORD says: ‘Record this man as if childless, a man who will not prosper in his lifetime, for none of his offspring will prosper, none will sit on the throne of David or rule anymore in Judah.'”

      But why does all this talk as to whether or not god exists, loves us, walked the face of the earth, etc., have to take us to the bible/ancient texts and back to ancient times, in order for us to find out whether or not this is all true? Does the bible not teach that god is the same yesterday, today, and forever? And, with that in mind, shouldn't we expect to see god visiting us today, much like he purportedly did back in antiquity? How can a god who truly loves his people NOT come to visit and spend time with them, every now and then? We're only told that he does so....that we just can't see him because he is in the spirit. It's unbelieveable the negative effect that religion has on people's ability to think rationally.

    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?

      "A large number of books in the early church were written by authors who falsely claimed to be apostles in order to deceive their readers into accepting their books and the views they represented. This view that the New Testament contains books written under false names is taught at virtually all the major institutions of higher learning except strongly evangelical schools throughout the Western world. It is the view taught in all the major textbooks on the New Testament used in these institutions. It is the view taught in seminaries and divinity schools. It is what pastors learn when they are preparing for ministry." (Dr. Bart Ehrman, Jesus Interrupted, pg 136-137)

      i once put to death the most beautiful crop of greenhouse tomatoes you've ever seen; adult ones, baby ones, half grown ones; they had TMV a virus. If I had failed to destroy them, I could endanger every farm that used those plants in the field and possibly wiped out many farmers livelihood . I seemed cruel and extreme to the uninformed.

      Yes, that's my response when Christians try to defend the verse. ;) New International Version - Marginal note on Mark chapter 16: "The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9-20."
      "But once again, the verses came from a creative scribe long after the Gospel of Mark was written. In fact, the earliest versions of Mark stop at 16:8."
      www.newsweek.com/2015/01/02/thats-not-what-bible-says-294018.html
      Biblical scholar Dr. James Tabor says, "The longest concocted ending, which became Mark 16:9-19, became so treasured that it was included in the King James Version of the Bible, favored for the past 500 years by Protestants, as well as translations of the Latin Vulgate, used by Catholics. This meant that for countless millions of Christians it became sacred scripture-but it is patently bogus."

    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").

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.

      What is your source for this information, and is it reliable? According to Dr. Bart Ehrman, one of the world's foremost biblical scholars: "The historical narratives of the Old Testament are filled with legendary fabrications and the book of Acts in the New Testament contains historically unreliable information about the life and teachings of Paul. Many of the books of the New Testament are pseudonymous-written not by the apostles but by later writers claiming to be apostles. The list goes on.”

    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.

    False equivalence is a logical fallacy that occurs when someone incorrectly asserts that two or more things are equivalent, simply because they share some characteristics, despite the fact that there are also notable differences between them.
    Here is G.K. Chesterton pointing out way back in 1904 where Robert Blatchford made this same mistake...
    The first of all the difficulties that I have in controverting Mr. Blatchford is simply this, that I shall be very largely going over his own ground. My favourite text-book of theology is [Blatchford’s] God and My Neighbour, but I cannot repeat it in detail. If I gave each of my reasons for being a Christian, a vast number of them would be Mr. Blatchford’s reasons for not being one.
    For instance, Mr. Blatchford and his school point out that there are many myths parallel to the Christian story; that there were Pagan Christs, and Red Indian Incarnations, and Patagonian Crucifixions, for all I know or care. But does not Mr. Blatchford see the other side of the fact? If the Christian God really made the human race, would not the human race tend to rumours and perversions of the Christian God? If the centre of our life is a certain fact, would not people far from the centre have a muddled version of that fact? If we are so made that a Son of God must deliver us, is it odd that Patagonians should dream of a Son of God?
    The Blatchfordian position really amounts to this-that because a certain thing has impressed millions of different people as likely or necessary, therefore it cannot be true. And then this bashful being, veiling his own talents, convicts the wretched G.K.C. of paradox. I like paradox, but I am not prepared to dance and dazzle to the extent of Nunquam, who points to humanity crying out for a thing, and pointing to it from immemorial ages, as proof that it cannot be there.
    The story of a Christ is very common in legend and literature. So is the story of two lovers parted by Fate. So is the story of two friends killing each other for a woman. But will it seriously be maintained that, because these two stories are common as legends, therefore no two friends were ever separated by love or no two lovers by circumstances? It is tolerably plain, surely, that these two stories are common because the situation is an intensely probable and human one, because our nature is so built as to make them almost inevitable.
    Why should it not be that our nature is so built as to make certain spiritual events inevitable? In any case, it is clearly ridiculous to attempt to disprove Christianity by the number and variety of Pagan Christs. You might as well take the number and variety of ideal schemes of society, from Plato’s Republic to Morris’ News from Nowhere, from More’s Utopia to Blatchford’s Merrie England, and then try to prove from them that mankind cannot ever reach a better social condition. If anything, of course, they prove the opposite; they suggest a human tendency toward a better condition.
    Thus, in this first instance, when learned sceptics come to me and say, “Are you aware that the Kaffirs have a sort of Incarnation?” I should reply: “Speaking as an unlearned person, I don’t know. But speaking as a Christian, I should be very much astonished if they hadn’t.”
    www.ecatholic2000.com/gk/blatchford/cont.shtml
    It also doesn't help that Mr. Carrier plays very loose with the facts...

    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.

      Anytime you want to prove your book of debunked ancient fairy tales with the talking snake, talking donkey, 900-year-old men, virgin birth and zombies, which promises magic poison resistance to believers---go ahead! "And these signs will accompany those who believe...when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all" (Mark 16:17-18). What happens when fools believe liars?

While you ponder why you have no evidence to support your fairy tale claims, why don't you also ponder why we no longer *murder* accused witches: "Do not allow a sorceress to live" (Ex. 22:18). "A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them" (Lev. 20:27).

"If a man finds a girl who is a virgin, who is not engaged, and seizes her and lies with her and they are discovered, then the man who lay with her shall give to the girl's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall become his wife because he has violated her; he cannot divorce her all his days" (Deut. 28:28-29).

    +Dee Bunker "I never said that William Lane Craig heard voices...it's even worse than that. Craig defends genocide-"
    Still getting it wrong. Nothing he's defended depicts hunting people down and killing them all because of their race.
    "on the basis of some anonymous author in a book"
    Wrong again. Craig's defense of stories like the Canaanite story is a response to the argument, "If god commanded that, he's an immoral monster". He's not being tasked with proving that the story is true, just defending the character God in the story.
    And in general, his arguments are not dependent on the bible being divinely inspired, 100% true and literal, etc.

    • @mythbuster1483
      @mythbuster1483 6 лет назад

      +Vic 2.0, Regarding Craig's defense of genocide, you said, " Nothing he's defended depicts hunting people down and killing them all because of their race." The story in your book of evil ancient fairy tales says, "This is what the Lord Almighty says: I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy[a] all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys” (1 Sam. 15: 2-3). Whether you consider the Amalekites to be of a different race, or just a different nationality makes no difference--your fake holy book condones genocide in the name of God based on an anonymous author saying that a prophet CLAIMED to have heard a voice claiming to be God telling him to murder babies. Your defense of genocide is on this basis. So apparently, you'd murder your neighbor's wife, children and infants if your pastor said that Jesus told him to tell you to do it, right? Is that moral? This is what makes nutjobs like you so dangerous.

      Your fake holy book tells fanatics to murder witches---without giving any information on how to correctly identify one: "Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live" (Ex. 22:18). "A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them" (Lev. 20:27).

While you ponder that, genius, don't go murdering your son for Jesus if he turns out to be gay: "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable.

      Craig mistakes CLAIMS for FACTS. He thinks that because some nutjub is hearing voices telling him to murder babies, that means it must be true that GOD approves genocide: "So whom does God wrong in commanding the destruction of the Canaanites? Not the Canaanite adults, for they were corrupt and deserving of judgement. Not the children, for they inherit eternal life." www.alternet.org/story/150742/one_more_reason_religion_is_so_messed_up%3A_respected_theologian_defends_genocide_and_infanticide
      In real life, if some guy told you he heard a voice from the sky telling him to murder his neighbor's wife, children and infants, you'd view him as a dangerous crackpot or mentally ill psycho. But not William Lane Craig! "This is what the Lord Almighty says...Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys." (1 Samuel 15:2-3). Sure, if some guy CLAIMS that a voice claiming to be God said that Craig should murder his neighbor's whole family, Craig is really to go out there an murder them all! Isn't Christianity a great source of family values? Well, except for the Holocaust, and witch killings, and the Inquisition, and murdering babies in the name of God, etc.

      +Dee Bunker You say so much that's completely irrelevant to any argument I or William Lane Craig has made. Again, no one is arguing for biblical inerrancy/literalism, and no one is saying that we should believe people when they say "God wants you to kill this person". Craig's defense of biblical stories is a response to the question "If god commanded this, isn't he a moral monster?" The very question grants the reality of the story for the sake of argument.

    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

      Why doesn't prayer work like Jesus promised? "Truly I tell you, Jesus replied, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only will you do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain ‘Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,’ it will happen. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask in prayer." (Matt. 21:21-22). Go ahead and post your RUclips video of you casting a mountain or tree into the ocean with your magic prayer powers!
      Oh...it doesn't work? Perhaps you should "Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened" (1 Kings 18:27 ESV) www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+Kings+18%3A27&version=ESV

    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.
