  1. Did #JesusChrist actually exist?
    Was #Jesus a Real #Historical Person?

    Or is he a #theological construct that emerged over time? In this in-depth video, we explore the controversial arguments of #RichardCarrier as presented in his 2025 book The Obsolete Paradigm of a #HistoricalJesus. This episode critically examines early #Christian texts, #nonChristian historical sources, and the use of #Bayesian probability to reassess one of #history’s most debated questions.

  2. πŸ“š#RichardCarrier has just announced a new book: The Obsolete Paradigm of a Historical Jesus (2025).

    As a scholarly sequel to On the #Historicity of #Jesus (2014), it argues the assumption of a historical Jesus is obsolete. Carrier applies #Bayes to case studies (Two Swords, Rom 1:3, Gal 4:4), re-evaluates #Docetism & revises Rank-Raglan odds (β‰ˆ25% historicity). Looking forward to reading it (will be available end of Nov 2025).

  3. I just read #RichardCarrier's new article on 'Objective #moral facts exist in all possible #universes', which argues that #morality is rooted in rational agency rather than divine command or cultural constructs. I see some striking parallels with #Buddhism, particularly in the emphasis on #compassion (#karuna) and understanding the consequences of our actions (#karma). I've summarized some key points in this blog post:
