Craig not only called Carrier a "crank exegesis" but proved it beyond a reasonable doubt. Craig went on later to say Carrier was his most bizarre opponent to date. http://caesarsmessiah.com/blog/2013/12/richard-carrier-the-phd-that-drowned-at-gadara/ PLZ read. CW Thanks for the link. I ha...

@Gnostic Bishop, The Gnostic goal is to realize you are equal to God? Once again it sounds like something that Satan would have you believe. Remember the story of the forbidden fruit in the garden of Eden? I watched, (for a second time) Alan Watts on the book of Eli. The video reminds me of the ride...

"If you cannot make distinctions such as that which emits light and that which is light, you must have grave difficulties confronting the real world."...Spin ************************ Yes, exactly, that is your problem. Now that you know you are in the cave of spin (cognitive dissonance) do...

Stephan Huller wrote:I don't know what "hornet's nest" you think you've "stirred up." Not everyone here is a Carrier fan.

By all means then, you defend me against the Carrier swarm while I try to get to see if the nest has any honey.

Freke takes offense to dogma, e.g. ...

I would like to know what is the best book written by Richard Carrier, that is to say, the book that has the most convincing argument that Jesus was a myth? Frankly, I never heard of Richard Carrier before joining this forum. I was first exposed to Carrier by a link Kirby provided for forum newbies....

@ Spin, You wrote: "the flame—is a body of gas around the wick that is incandescent. The flame produces light, but it is not light, just as an incandescent filament inside an old lightbulb produces light, but is not light. It's better to be silent than to advertise lack of knowledge."...sp...

No argument that all go sub atomic eventually, entropy, but that also means that there is no way for cohesion of consciousness to maintain itself. Unless telepathy is real. Only that I think would show consciousness maintaining cohesion...Gnostic Bishop ********************** Most people don't reali...

"The question was not about the light, but about the flame--you know, the bright thing at the top end of the candle. You don't seem to have quite grasped the notion of "rephrasing", which does not involve changing the meaning."..Spin *************************** Well, excuse me. P...
