Why is it, that you don't think that I understand English? Is you default to just attack the person, and where they come from?
None of what you said, here, makes the argument any better, or clarifies anything about it. If anything; one might speculate, that this indicates more of an emotional reason, rather than a rational one for the conclusion.

No wonder most historians wouldn't give Carrier the time of day.
Quote:I agree. Carrier completely ignores the obvious fact that the churches already believed a basic set of facts about Jesus. The fact that the churches existed are concrete evidence of this. IN addition, Paul's greeting in nearly every one of the letters reiterate this. Paul was not writing a 'Letter to the Editor' to introduce people to Jesus. They obviously had that background knowledge.Accept they didn't and the existence of the early church has already been addressed by Carrier several times it does not make the case you want .So it is you who is ignoring facts not Carrier .
