Default Richard Carrier at Skepticon II on the Historical Jesus

Youtube video Part I

This is the stand up comic version, not the academic version with footnotes.

I haven't located Part II yet.

Interesting, but too bad RC's response to "current biblical scholar consensus" at the end of part 4 has been cut out.

Well, let's hope he doesn't give up his day job. For a funny take on the Bible and Genesis, I recommend Ricky Gervais.

I think his new look is better. When he was clean shaven he looked like a seventeen year old kid.

It is interesting that the first Gospel, written decades after Christians were allegedly under suspicion and public accusations of body-snatching, doesn't even attempt any apologetic to show that the body could not have been stolen.

Far from defending against accusations of body-snatching, it even makes clear that the body had gone before the women had got there, and that the stone had been moved before the women got there.

Imagine a group allegedly accused for decades of stealing money from a bank. And their first public response is to claim that the vault was already open and money had already gone by the time some of the members of the group turned up to make sure the money was OK. And that these members of the group had been discussing the best way to open the vault....

Either 'Mark' was very very dumb, or he wanted his fellow Christians to be killed for grave-snatching.

Quite right. He should consider changing his publicity photographs accordingly IMHO.
