So was Evangelion. He and his brother fortigurn (who does use the same username there) are both Christadelphians. They're a fringe cult that among other things denies the Trinity. I trounced Evangelion some years ago on the topics of Wisdom Christology (in which his main tactic was to deny, deny, deny the clear parallels between Wisdom texts and the NT), as well as on the authenticity of Mark 16:9-20 (in which his main tactic was to quote fringe authors, and crap from obscure 1800s sources). They're both chiefly best at overestimating their own genius.

Well, this is a good place to note...we have:
On one side: Richard Carrier and a handful of fanatic followers/mythicists like Ben "Moron Error" Schuldt, Vridar, Earl Doherty, and little Stevie Carr
On the other side, laying in to Carrier, I've noted:
Bart Ehrman (leading)
R. Joseph Hoffmann
Maurice Casey (ahead)
James McGrath
Chris Hallquist
"AIGBusted"
Thom Stark (! -- yes, he's going after Carrier's claim of a dying Messiah in Judaism before Jesus....unwittingly arguing on MY side re TIF!)
DJ (Loftus) is begging for peace and staying on the sidelines. That's one of the smartest things he's done in years.
Please note if you want to add any names to either list.

I'm just hoping it gets turned into a major motion picture. This is too enjoyable to miss.

How about you add "all of biblical scholarship" to your list? Seems appropriate. Originally posted by jpholding

Probably so, but it's easier to just do a list on those who have weighed in. Originally posted by Benson Shays
I just read where Carrier says Hoffman is insane. The next time some Skeptic whines about MY riposte....

Then Morgoth turned upon Húrin, and he said: 'Fool, little among Men, and they are the least of all that speak! Have you seen the Valar, or measured the power of Manwë and Varda?
Do you know the reach of their thought? Or do you think, perhaps, that their thought is upon you, and that they may shield you from afar?'
'I know not,' said Húrin. 'Yet so it might be, if they willed. For the Elder King shall not be dethroned while Arda endures.'

You don't get it. It's only bad for us to be mean because Jesus was never mean. And we like Jesus. STUPID Xians. Originally posted by Manwë Súlimo

Did you get a chance to have a word with Carrier about these issues at/before/after the debate, JP?

Relevant anecdote: when I asked Carrier back to the church for a second debate, he wasn't down with defending the Christ-myth. I didn't think much of it. With his Bayes Theorem book coming out this month, however, it's starting to make sense. Originally posted by BlacJac06

OK... so who would play Carrier, Ehrman, etc etc if this were turned into a movie in 10 years time (a la The Social Network) ? Originally posted by TwilightPhoenix

Nope. After that episode with the diuretics I wasn't up to it anyway -- since he was willing to be cordial, I went along with that and saved what limited umph I had left for the debate itself. Originally posted by BlacJac06
