Richard Cevantis Carrier (born December 1, 1969) is an American historian, atheist activist, author, public speaker and blogger.
Carrier has a doctorate in ancient history from Columbia University where his thesis was on the history of science in antiquity. He originally gained prominence as an advocate of atheism and metaphysical naturalism, authoring many articles on The Secular Web and later defending his basic position in his book Sense and Goodness Without God.
This is like Novak Djokovic turning up to your local tennis club competition.
I feel sorry for the poor bastard that had to mop up all the blood !
that was actually hilarious
You are hilarious. 🙂
Or Wayne Gretzky
@@haydenwalton2766 Stop! Stop! He's already dead.
Dr Carrier, thank you for wasting your time debating adults with childlike minds, so we don't have to.
Well said.

There is a clear difference in that Carrier actually studied the sources that he cites, whereas the christian guy seems to know then only superficially.
Wow! Richard Crucified these guys! ..... ohhhh 🙊
I couldn't agree more
Nailed it.
And yet, they walk the earth. I'm sorry, but except I shall see in their hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into their sides, I will not believe.
@@MarcillaSmithI heard that 👍
@@MarcillaSmith So quoting a myth story from the Bible accomplishes what exactly? Do you believe in talking snakes and Noah's Ark and creating the earth and life in 6 days also?
Look at the look of panic on the face of the Christian whenever Richard asks a question, then look at how calm Richard is when they fire back.
A Christian only has one answer to their beliefs "it's written in the scriptures, but they have no proof that the scriptures are true or that God even exists.
I'll stick to things that can be proven.
Carrier is ver unfair, fighting against unarmed opponents like that.
😂
This is yet another battle between "belief" ( from the root word, " lief, " which means " to wish " ) and those who value a process of scrupulously truthful examination of data, that discards anything that doesn't hold up under sustained, critical examination. Still, "Myths are stories that never happened, but are always happening."
Yes. At the risk of sounding esoteric, there is a Christianity taught to children at Vacation Bible School as they make construction paper dioramas of Noah's ark. And there is another Christianity which must be sought for diligently and with discernment.
@@MarcillaSmith Thanks for your response Marcilla. It's comforting to know that there are people like yourself for whom discernment and Christianity are not mutually exclusive.
USA needs a smart President, how about it Richard?
Got my vote.
Good job Richard!
he lost like a dog
@@KolyaUrtz What Explain how the historical scholar lost to the make-pretend world guy...
I'm right because I'm right. You're wrong because I'm right. Because it says so in the bible.
There's a line in Shakespeare that says, "I would invite you to a battle of wits, but I see you are unarmed." That's Carrier. And yes, there is a tremendous amount of documentary and contemporary eyewitness evidence that The Bard did exist.
The christian apologist Mr Microphone just couldn't win arguments..
I grew up in the cult of catholicism.. Alter boy, whole nine. I was an atheist by the time I was 16. I have a degree in Classical studies. However, it had never occurred to me to question the historicity of Jesus. I would like to thank dr Carrier for opening the door for me to be even more iconoclastic than I already was. I am often astounded by the amount of people who assume the historicity of Jesus with not a shred of evidence, who then put the burden of proving his non existence on me.
There’s some praying to be done by the sound guy...
Parabéns Carrier você e seu companheiro deram uma surra em todos os argumentos fracos dos cristãos.
Like the way Carrier takes over this debate.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and many other authors of the Bible with no last name , Every book ever written the authors have a last name
Damn! Carrier had no choice... The Apologist just gave him no choice... A bloodbath was inevitable. How does someone like that even show up for this?
Jesus was a scapegoat, I feel really bad for him, if he existed at all that is, especially as a kid.
As a believer I find the arguments put forth by the atheist side unconvincing. That other atheist find them convincing does not surprise me at all.
I kinda like that in athletic contests like boxing when one guy gets knocked out there is a clear winner. But when there is no knockout, either side may think their guy was better. That the atheists think their side won is just an example of this.
As a believer, this debate and others I have watched haven't even dented my armor. If you are an atheist these guys are your heroes, because they support your already held opinions on the subject and seemingly give it support with stuff like textural criticism/the opinions of mostly unbelieving egg heads.
So much of the stuff in academia is debatable as to having any validity. Glad I have God's word to guide me through this world ruled by evil men who are their own god subject to all the passions that that entails.
I've never seen someone get so Hitchslapped as what Carrier did to the little Christian boy.
It dosent matter,if it helps some people just have fun with Jesus!
Some people write a story and millions believe it because it's shoved into their heads from an early age.
Carrier 4 presendency
*Paul’s flesh Jesus*
2 Corinthians 5:15-17
… From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though *we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer.* Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.
This seems to sum up Paul’s position and it benefitted his “My experience is superior because it is non-flesh” schtick.
Yes.
I feel sorry for Carrier. Smith is a liability. If RC chose him as his sidekick, his judgement was poor.
🤔 very well known, yet had to give judas 30 sheckles to point him out, yep, sounds logical 😜
Alleghory !!!
Sure, there was a “real” Jesus, a “real” Hercules, and several “real” Krishnas. Wait 500 years, Michael Jackson will be another incarnation of Krishna. This deification stuff takes time and many iterations of imaginings. The problem with Christianity is the lack of understanding the religion, the requirement of belief in a supernatural savior was a demand of the Roman Empire’s plan to define and use this movement to run their empire.
These god believers is like kids…. Talk about Santa Clause instead
God is the object of our love, we should share in an infinite happiness, without any mixture or possibility of diminution; we should rejoice to behold the glory of God, and receive comfort and pleasure from all the praises wherewith men and angels do extol him.
It should delight us, beyond all expression, to consider, that the beloved of our souls is infinitely happy in himself, and that all his enemies cannot shake or unsettle his throne: “that our God is in the heavens, and doth whatever he pleaseth.”
So is the Easter Bunny.
@@enkibumbu No Easter Bunny will Create the Universe, being Lord God Almighty Incarnate, and save Grace Evangelist John Stewart from Hell fire, to his Holy Heaven... praising him forever and ever on his white throne... ALL Glory and Honor and Praise to THE LORD JESUS CHRIST !!
@@johnstewart4350 "No Easter Bunny will Create the Universe." I beg to differ.
Really he came up with Luke is a great historian LIE just shockingly ignorant christian
The Ed Begley Jr lookalike guy was good. Very logical.
Richard Carrier steamrolled these guys 🤣🤣🤣. This a certified hood Classic.
I'm right because I'm right. You're wrong because you're wrong. Because it says so in the bible.
I think if your going to debate the existence of Jesus don't you think you should know his actual name which is Yeshua or as it translates to Joshua.
Actually his actual name was Yeshu. Even Irenaeus admits his actual name was spelled with "two and a half" Hebrew letters. That's yod, shin, and vav. Yod is the "half letter". Unfortunately that Jesus is recorded in the Talmud as having lived under Alexander Jannaeus when he was actually crucified or was stoned and then hung on a pole or impaled upon a stake.
No hes real name is Ronald!
@@edwardmiessner6502yes. To further add, "Joshua" would be more like "Yehoshua" (fought the battle of Jericho, for instance), whereas "Yeshu" would be more like "Josh."
Lord Josh, I trust in Thee.
@@brunoheggli2888 And his last name is McDonald.
