Dr. Richard Carrier

I've decided for time and energy management that I am no longer reading any Tweets. I am now using this account for announcements only. Follow me on Facebook if you want to see any of my casual thoughts on things. And anything left unanswered, email me at [email protected].

Tomorrow night, live! @GodlessEngineer on the #bartehrman #fiasco & #mistakes . Why are #historians phoning in responses to #mythicism ? Why can't they read the #peerreviewed literature on it? Why can't they do their jobs? Let's admit #Jesus is doubtable. youtube.com/live/UWWNTmTAq…

I catalogue all the mistakes @BartEhrman made in his recent lectures on the #historicity of #Jesus. It disinforms his students. And it suggest he has no interest in even knowing what the truth is. And that's not #ethical. It's careless and insulting. richardcarrier.info/archives/36444

Camp filmmaker Bill Zebub asks me q's & gets me talking for 1.5h on how we know the #gospels are #mythology re: #resurrection & #historicity + #ancientliterature #cosmology & how the #newtestament & its #antisemitism developed & more. Pretty engaging! tinyurl.com/yc7tuh24

Learn why I #recommend Melnyk, Kim, Drescher for understanding #physicalism You'll find a nice brief here on what physicalism is, why it matters, and how these authors will help u understand & use it! #bookreview #bookrecommendations #philosophy #atheism richardcarrier.info/archives/36370

My final refutation of the #finetuning argument. My foil: Matthew Adelstein (Bentham's Bulldog). All the usual #apologetics is there (mistakes, fallacies, shallow research and reasoning). Even its #SteelMan ends up an argument against #God & for #atheism. richardcarrier.info/archives/35831

I've been on bsky.app/profile/richar… for six months now. It is superior to Twixter. It lacks some minor features but not enough to matter. Eventually I will exit this place. So anyone still reading my feed here: I highly recommend you migrate to that platform and follow me there!

Duped by Christian #propaganda into thinking #Christianity is suddenly #miraculously exploding in #Asia ( which is mistaken for #China ) proving the #powerofchrist and fulfilling #prophecy and signaling the #apocalypse ? Here's some #criticalthinking : richardcarrier.info/archives/35850

"...a key person in charge of thwarting Israeli spies in Iran was an incompetent conspiracy theorist obsessed with Jewish climate control." Short crucial read on how the #usa is in an important way becoming #iran theatlantic.com/newsletters/ar… #iranisraelconflict #JewishSpaceLasers

It's time. I'm calling it. The #KalamCosmologicalArgument is #crank. It's #tinfoilhat. No one should take it seriously. My final #Takedown. I am now saying it: any further discussion is just playing games with the #insane. richardcarrier.info/archives/35705 #atheism #God #apologetics

Is Christianity a #jewish #conspiracy to #control the #Gentiles ? No. But it gets a far-ranging talk on the #origins of Christianity on #thinkforyourself : #firstcentury #jesus #christianity #PaulTheApostle #NoahideLaws #orallaw #talmud #rabbinic #judaism youtube.com/watch?v=lGzsk_…

Never a more important time to hone ur #immunity to #manipulation & false beliefs! Build ur #resistance by #mastering #criticalthinking or a positive #philosophy w/o gods or testing #history : my #courses are good for #atheists, #Christians and #Muslims richardcarrier.info/archives/16919

Series of TikTok miniclips of me answering questions on subjects in #history and #philosophy at ForSightParadigm. No nuances possible. But you can ask questions in comments on any related article on my blog. For example, on #mindbrain #physicalism : tiktok.com/@forsightparad…

My next top 3 #recommendations on the #origins of #christianity & its #literature . This time on #mimesis #criticism : how #TheGospels invent stories about #jesus to convey deeper meaning, using #jewish #pagan & #christian sources to emulate or upstage: richardcarrier.info/archives/34997

My Twitter apps no longer work. So I am posting via desktop website before I head out: I will be at the #NoKings rally in Tucker, Georgia. Look for me if you're there. I'll post some photos on Bluesky and Facebook.

My Friday discussion of Islamic theology and philosophy of time with Anthony Wagner has a new link for viewing (but time and date are unchanged): youtube.com/live/8DA6WxjPD…

That "#viruses don't exist" is #antivax hell: attacking #virology. Tedious. All #lies & #manipulation. But you can point people to it & learn how I went about #factchecking it & #criticalthinking btw. legit #criticism of a #consensus & #crank #claptrap. richardcarrier.info/archives/35080

Live w. Anthony Wagner on #islamic #apologetics Friday. On the #incoherence of #God and #time in #islam (esp. #hanafi #Theology), but in #christianity, too. Can God act & be #timeless? Or exist before time? Is #timelessness + #consciousness even possible? youtube.com/live/0IBfigoUW…

Come join me on the #Unite4Veterans march for #veterans in #washingtondc tomorrow afternoon, or meet me that evening at The Queen Vic and get some #books signed and hang out! We can chat about my work in #philosophy or #history. Details in the link… richardcarrier.info/archives/34577

I'll be doing a brief interview on the #historicity of #JESUS (with a translator) on the new #brazilian show, Shaolin - Verdade ou Mentira, this Monday. Details in the link! youtube.com/watch?v=_h9VWu…
