*Thomas Lundy. Mr. Alexander, Michael Grant--In his book Jesus: An Historian's Review of the Gospels, Atheist historian Michael Grant completely rejected the idea that Jesus never existed:* First, there is no such thing as an "Atheist historian," nor should it matter what religion a historian (any historian) chooses to follow. Second, to couch it in this manner, you are leading the reader to a conclusion that does not exist. Historians do not research and study history BASED upon their religious beliefs, they research and study history based upon HISTORY. This is an Appeal to Authority fallacy. And finally, so what? Richard Carrier, also an "Atheist Historian" (to use your misleading terminology) does not believe that Jesus Christ can be considered to have been an historical figure. Now what? Two "Atheist Historians," two divergent opinions. I am sure that you can find any number of historians, both Biblical and secular who will tell you that Jesus Christ, in their opinion, existed as a historical figure. However, none can present you with concrete empirical evidence to support that claim, either. What everyone, historian and lay person alike wants demonstrated is the supernatural claims about Jesus Christ as found in the Bible are true. Can they be corroborated (of course they can't.) Few, if anyone, are concerned with the mere EXISTENCE of the historical Jesus, because whether or not he existed is irrelevant without the miracle accounts. Without these, he would have been nothing more that simply another rabbi who was executed by a Roman court (and there were several of those.) So, I ask again, based upon what you have posted here from Michael Grant....so what?

The biggest shame is that atheists spend so much time analyzing and reflecting on the veracity and historicity of books like the bible, then have to deal with theists that really just do not want to listen to the truth about them. And I'd argue that's accurate for the vast majority of theists. They don't want truth, they want familiar comforting lies.

21:50 Notice at this point that this theist has had at least 10, 15 of his claims refuted.... and he simply keeps going like the Black Knight in Monty Python.

RD Hudon ...Jesus’ alleged lifetime ended when he was allegedly crucified. Hence, there are exactly *zero* known contemporary accounts of Jesus, his life, his ministry, his trial, and his death. Not a single scrap of contemporary writing about Jesus from a single scribe, priest, government official, military officer, or literate human being is known to exist. For a god man who performed unprecedented miracles in front of multitudes of people in the relatively literate society of Ancient Rome, I find this a bit odd. By the way, Josephus was not a contemporary of Jesus, as Josephus was born in 37 A.D. Also, Josephus’ writings which mention Jesus were written in 93-94 A.D....nowhere near contemporary.

@@JohnDoe-ku4jj That could essentially sum up how theists in general argue. Because the arguments don't matter. The game isn't to actually get to the truth. They already "know" the truth; god is their presupposition that they believe without evidence and for no rational reason, and all the "arguments" and "evidence" that they throw out is just a smokescreen that it's tossed out to protect that presupposition. That's why theists are very rarely phased to discover their arguments are flawed, and will often even REPEAT those arguments after they've been shown to be false, because they literally do not care about the truth of the arguments. The arguments are the scaffolding erected around the beliefs they will often continue to hold no matter what and that is the only purpose they serve.

Atheists are not going to remote villages to preach science and basically force people to be an atheist. That's what theists do.

For a guy who knows his shit, he didn't even mention the Q, which although unproven, is widely accepted as the source for parallels in Matthew/Luke not found in Mark. He also doesn't mention the letters of Paul, parts of which preserve tradition accepted to be within years of the actual events. It seems like a blaring omission not to mention the Quell. It would be like talking about the source material for the Pentateuch without mentioning the Documentary Hypothesis.

Telsonater I’d say Andrew’s face was completely blank. Andrew simply wasn’t taking in anything David said- he just dismisses it all as “criticism” and doubles down on his original claim that the gospels were eyewitness accounts written by contemporaries of Jesus.

At minute 24:30 we discover that all the previous dialogue simply bounced off Andrew and floated away. That must be so frustrating if you just spoke (expertly) for 20+ minutes and the person you’re speaking with simply ignored everything you said.

I love how Christians “just know “ lol. They refer to the Bible when they forget or just don’t know that it has been retranslated,re-edited and rewritten more times than anyone can count so you can’t claim it to be the word of god.

Imagine people refusing to believe that a book was written, edited, and published by humans. Imagine choosing mental chaos over critical thinking.

It pretty much changed into a lecture but a very interesting one!

As much as I enjoy listening to and trying to learn from Matt, sometimes I am left with some confusion over the terms or arguments used. I think a lot of it is just Matt's speaking style goes right over my head as I am trying to piece things together. David's explanation of proper citing of historic authenticity helped clear up some misunderstandings and confusion I had been having.

I LOVE how Fitzgerald looks like he is just having more and more fun with the caller as he gets pissed.

David completely out bibled the bible thumper and a great history lessen too

This is beyond sad. The guy, Andrew, clearly is honest about his beliefs and desperately wants to defend them. Completely ignoring facts and evidence and points to anecdotal scripts and claims to just prove his point. This is what indoctrination does kids.

Indoctrination is truly one of the most sadistic weapons mankind has ever devised. Most of my family are old earth creationists who solely depend on the bible and I was for a good chunk of my life. Now they respect my disbelief in any god, but they still think I'm going to hell and it hurts but coming from that indoctrination and understanding just what a grip it has on people it doesn't bother me that much. I won't deny it, there are times in my day when I still wonder what happens if I'm wrong, do I go to hell. I stopped believing in god about 4 years ago. It's like an addiction and you still have those fixes you want sometimes to feel good. It's insane, and I hear my family talking about how everyone around them is being indoctrinated to believe god doesn't exist and they like to point me out, not in front of me but it's impossible to think that they are willing to say it about everyone else, just not me. Side note, they are also huge conspiracy theorists, which I feel most of dictate a necessity of a belief in god to make sense of them. Pretty sure my mother believes the chemtrails are the reason behind my transition from christanity into atheist agnostic. At the end of the day, reading the bible is what caused me to accept who I am and one could say the bible truly did free me.

The problem is no one has sat down with him and actually presented the real facts to him. This is why the myths continue to this day. It has to be and has to come from an individuals acceptance, because thats how it was taught. You cant un-train a "personal training" with a megaphone aimed at a crowd. I guarantee you if every Christian fundy sat down across from someone like David Fitzgerald, and the actual documented truth they could read, they would all change their minds and become skeptical and eventually turn Atheist or Agnostic.

I blame it on a litany of bullshitting Christian apologists that unfortunately mess up the heads of the faithful.

Santa lives! If he doesn't, I've wasted big bucks on milk and cookies. (Seriously, David and Tracy are stars.)

This is like those movie fight scenes where the trainer is yelling to his boxer " stay down kid or get out the corner he's killing you"!

Perfect day for this guy to call in. It always peeves me when theists call in on days that experts in the field they're questioning are absent and then act like they're correct because they "stumped" the host on something. Perfect response, well done. I'm definitely going to search for more videos where you're hosting, David.

'No, because then he'll give you an answer'....Tracie is so pleasantly blunt.

Omg, when I saw the title of this episode, I immediately thought of David Fitzgerald. I had no idea he was actually guest hosting. Nice!

This exchange brings to mind, "Bambi vs Godzilla"

7:10 "The napkin religion is true, because it says right here on the napkin." 😆

Did you hear that? That's the sound of knowledge dropping!

Hey Bible Boy. They were writing books before the printing press!

If dogs believed in a dog god, what would the Ten Commandments be for dogs ? 1. Thou shalt not wag at any other dog god. 2. Thou shalt not chew a plastic bone. 3. Thou shalt not bark up the wrong tree. 4. Thou shalt sleep all day on Saturday. 5. Thou shalt not sniff the bottoms of thy parents. 6. Thou shalt not bite another dog, 7. Thou shalt not run away from your owner. 8. Thou shalt not chew a bone that belongs to another dog. 9. Thou shalt not bark when there is no reason to bark. 10. Thou shalt not sniff the bottom of the dog next door.

David Fitzgerald was brilliant here. I wish he could be a guest more often.

This guy seems to know his subject matter very well. its frustrating the jesus freak.

Incredible! This is one of the best shows you guys have ever produced. I love all of you guys but Divid Fitzgerald was out of this world on this show. Can you invite him more often? I was amazed by his level of knowledge, clarity, and consistence (if I were a christian, I would never call the show when Matt or this guy are on the air).

Saved this video to watch few more times. This is a treasure.

So amazing. I love seeing a professional, that did the work, blood sweat and tears, to discover the truth of this religion. I will keep a eye out for this guest show host

I mean when someone lays things out this clearly and simply for someone, it baffles me how they can still contest. I just think their mind switches off the moment you start speaking.
