Quote:I've read Carrier's booklet on the rise of early Xianity, and found it totally unconvincing. Carrier has no evidence at all for his claims, contradicts the evidence we have, and fails to answer basic questions about worldview and context.
At least you gave us exactly the same kind of jesus freak horseshit I expected. Congratulations for being predictable.
BTW, you cannot get good history from bad documents. What you get is guesswork or religious horseshit.
Carrier's dissection of the gospels and epistles in "On the Historicity of Jesus" was exemplary. I'm sure you hated every page.
Good.
