Do you see what he said? He said that "Christus suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilate"[size=large]
He is not stating this as if it was just a freakin' belief held by the Christians, he is saying it as if it actually happened, because it did.
And his source was what? Tacitus wasn't born until decades after the event in question - he couldn't have had personal knowledge of the events. So how did he know?

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Fool.
Quote:Jesus was born around the time of either Herod the Great's death (4 acE) or the Roman annexation of Judea (6 CE), then preached in Galilee and was crucified under Pontius Pilate (26-36 CE) during the reign of Emperor Tiberius (14-37 CE). Right? Well, we're not really sure. Because Christians weren't really sure. Some Christians bel ieved Jesus died during the reign of Emperor Claudius (41-54 cE). Others believed he was executed by a Herod, not Pilate. And still others were certain he was born and died in the reign of King Alexander Jannaeus (103-76 BeE). That's right. Some Christians believed Jesus had lived and died a hundred years earlier than our Gospels claim.
Carrier pg. 281
You have no idea when your bullshit story was codified. Your ignorance is typical of the breed so I can't blame you. In fact, after listening to your prattle the best for you is to take your bible and stick it and your head up your ass. You are a hopeless case.
P.S. Tacitus is a forgery....and he said "Chrestianos" not "Christianos."

Craig would not know a fact if it bit him in the ass.
Here he says:

Quote:The burial account is part of Mark's source material for the story of Jesus' Passion. This is a very early source which is probably based on eyewitness testimony and dates to within several years of Jesus' crucifixion.
What we have here is not a fact. It is jesus freak wishful thinking. If that is an example of Craig's debate with Carrier then Carrier...who deals in facts....cleaned the fucking floor with this moron. Oh Minnie what Craig says means nothing to this guy. Craig has very openly spoke out in favor of science and called yec embarrassing.

Actually... Jesus never died... his brother did.
He went on a trip to Japan. It's true, the japanese even made a plaque, so it must be true!

Well, then there shouldn't be a "history" subject in our school system, since every history teacher was born centuries after Columbus, the famous wars, and any other event in history.
And if you say "well, they are using contemporary sources"...well, the same could be said about Tacitus.

That's kind of my point.
