The historicity of Jesus, An interview with Dr Richard Carrier 2020 - Was Jesus real?

When I first saw Dr Carrier he inspired me on how to challenge Christian Fundamentalists and Apologists, and so I felt he was someone I should talk to, so here is a special video where I interviewed with Dr Richard Carrier in November 2020 about the historicity of Jesus, and the mythology, and the development of Christianity. Asking questions such as was Jesus a real person? Who wrote the gospels? Why did Christianity become the largest religion? And was Jesus really from outer space?

His website with links to his books, courses, and blog can be found here: https://www.richardcarrier.info

And his latest book, Jesus from Outer Space, can be found at all good booksellers, and from Richard's shop on his website.
