Jesus is Dead - Robert Price - Skepticon 2 Redux 

What's the difference between agnosticism and apathy? - I don't know and I don't care

Thumbs up for the badass duct tape mic...and the talk :) thanks for the upload

Just the sound of his voice is special. The content superb. Wow. Imagine how poor old squeaky, scratchy Dinesh feels when he hears Price's voice.

I love his analogy of TV and anti-monster presuppositions. That's just pure brilliance!

The Price is right!

I love Robert Price, he is not only so knowledgeable about his area of study, but he likes comics! A truly great man ^^

Great presentation. This guy is a national treasure.

Just wanted to add that I've never seen Robert Price speak before. He's like Kevin Smith with a degree, fantastic speech and Q&A.

Such a great mind, this guy fascinates me.

I like Robert Price even though he does look like an Old Testament Prophet.

Why is this man talking to that parrot.

Dr. Price is definitely one of my faves- right there with Hitchens!

Thank you for an educational video on a great scholar and humanist. Truth may be difficult to find, and it may take a long interval, but it is always worth seeking.

Loved this talk. Really great. Entertaining and thought provoking.

This guy is great ,he approaches every angle with naught but logic and reasoning.

Price quotes Paul Tillich: "[Christian] Fundamentalism has demonic aspects in that it ... forces Christians to suppress knowledge". Apologetics leads to despair, Price says here, and nails why I ultimately gave up on Christianity after almost 40 years: modern apologetics destroys faith. Hebrews 1:11 was an attempt to differentiate, but it is no longer taught in Christian churches. Which puts me in the position of abandoning Christianity not because of the Bible, or the faith itself, but because I could no longer deny how ultimately horrid that "old time religion" has always been. Great talk, Dr. Price.

"I don't believe there is a god. Hallelujah!" [Robert M. Price]

A MOST COHERENT AND ENLIGHTENED TRUTH TELLER ! RIGHT IS PRICE !

I love listening to this guy.

Try this: When you hear him talk, imagine Jack Nicholson grinning and saying the same thing he is saying.

RU-vid has killed religion. RIP.

Look how earnestly he listens to the question at 44:27. This man is a treasure!

Pure virtuoso! Thanks to all involved!

The Man! The Legend! :) Thanks for the video!! :)

I love that, although Price does not believe in the truth of scripture, he nevertheless draws valuable lessons from it, and continues to see value in the tradition. He's very calm in his approach to the subject.

This video was fantastic. Wish I could have been there. My first one was Skepticon 3.

This man is so ridiculously knowledgeable.

Dr. Price rocks! :)

Damn, this man can talk!

I like the duct tape holding the microphones together. Pure class.

Isn't he the captain of a crab boat featured in Deadliest catch?

@hamboeproductions i would like to translate and dub your videos in spanish, and reupload to a channel directed yo mexican (and spanish speaking) audience... how can i fo that? Who can give me permission?

if you can write a religion that is good enough and you tell it long enough ,someone is going to buy it and sell it to some one else.

Price is my favorite skeptic to listen too.

Dr Price, it would help in theQ&A sessions if you would kindly repeat the question you have been asked.

Unique and superb! Thanks Dr Bob.

Richard Carrier and Robert Price are the top tiers.

Good stuff.

I rewatch this talk every few months or so, just for the entertainment value let alone the great logic and desire for truth

Wow, did not know Robert Price is a fan of Toho. Makes him more respectable in my eyes.

38:48 Other than being able to retrieve stray beachballs with relative ease, what is the benefit for all of mankind if an entity has the ability to walk upon water?

That '50s monster movie Dr Price mentions at 6:45, 'I Was A Teenage Fundamentalist!', could well be the title of my autobiography.. Childhood religious indoctrination is truly a nightmare of horrific proportions..

"There is really no surviving evidence for a Jesus." [DROPS MIC].

A wonderfully straightforward explanation of Bayesian reasoning. Which is all we primates have to reason through the universe.

Interresting to listen to...but for me living in West-Europe, you can see what a world of difference there is between christianity in the USA and over here. Sometimes hard to understand. But this is almost "alien" to us.

9:01~ Price tips his Hand to the crowd with "Following the GRATEFUL DEAD around the country ", Yep i knew it he is Gerry Garcia .

effortlessly articulate. everfount

Love it

I find it amazing that we have to debate whether zombies are real.

33:40 every christian ever

he changes topics so fast haha

28:50 "The Hunt for the Hidden Relic" AKA "Das Jesus Video" AKA "Holy Relic From Two Thousand Years Ago" on RU-vid.

33:41 Just cracks me up everytime xD

How come someone that never existed, be dead??

If I could sum up what I got out of this lecture... Seeking the t(T)ruth is virtuous, but claiming that you know it is immoral. Also, I heard a little bit of WK Clifford, “It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone to believe anything on insufficient evidence.”

Superb 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Jesus croaked. Get over it

These guys are good but not necessary for people like me. Ever since I was a child in Sunday school, I just couldn't believe in the talking snakes and walking on water crap. I never saw a supernatural miracle and I saw nothing loving about god. I felt spiritual but I knew it was just my emotions and my goodness. I didn't need god to tell me hurting others is bad. Church was a good place to sleep and mix with girls. Biblical scholars are smart but I didn't need a bible scholar to tell me what's fairy tale and what isn't. I new life was unfair and cruel, due to nature. God just didn't do enough good to satisfy me. I saw through the hypocrisy of fellow church members. Kids were more interested in living and having fun than in god. Adults were more interested in surviving and making money than in god. I saw through all of it. It was just the best place for people to group together and feel needed and pretend they'll live forever.

This guy is absolutely hilarious!

Why am I reminded of Orson Wells?

God is THE most despicable, horrific, evil character ever in fiction.

Jesus was a delusional wandering preacher who thought he could not be killed. He was wrong. But his followers continued to keep their belief alive and even wrote a story about his resurrection. How do I know? Because he never came back - and he never will. I'm so sorry.

Joseph Smith made it up, IMHO. Just before his murder, he fully expected rescue. But by that time, even his followers had enough of him. BTW, it was more of a battle than a martyrdom. He shot three people before they got him. Pistols had been smuggled in to Joe and his fellow prisoners, along with a bit of wine and tobacco. The pistol Joe used to kill three men was an Allen & Thurber pepperbox, a forerunner of the revolver. (Ex-Mormon who looked deeper here.)

Brilliant

i still like the hoaz of those early photos of angels in the forest with the young girls and one of the girls when she was dieing finally said it was all a hoaz bye their father ,but many people believed and died believing it.

Dr Bob is treasure

I'M BACK BITCHESSSSSS

walking on water does not count, Chris Angel can do this too

"...so, why is the fundamentalist and the apologist on the war-path? Well, it's against himself! The unbeliever that he goes on crusade against is in his own mind." (14:30)

Twenty minutes in, and nothing's been shown.

He lives.

Once again shame about the production. Why was there no mic for the questions???

Another good Bayes man.

"Propaganda" is a word first used in catholic church : whose official title is "sacra congregatio christiano nomini propagando" an organization of Roman Catholic cardinals founded in 1622.

So did Hume Nuff said 💯💯💯

Why the hate on Peter Singer?

I'd like to hear more on the issue of how Jews were suppressed in the 1st century as Bart Ehrman points out when answering why we don't we have anything on Jesus in 1st century. Given so much of atheist foundations begin with no histrionics.

Soren Kierkegaard said that to make any attempt to prove the gospel is blasphemy . He also said “ Believe or be offended “

Robert M. Price, here are his credentials as Presented to Wikipedia described by Robert M. Price himself. "A former Baptist minister, he was the editor of the Journal of Higher Criticism from 1994 until it ceased publication in 2003, and has written extensively about the Cthulhu Mythos, a "shared universe" created by the writer H. P. Lovecraft.[7] He also co-wrote a book with his wife, Carol Selby Price, Mystic Rhythms: The Philosophical Vision of Rush (1999), on the rock band Rush. "Robert M. Price is a fellow of the Jesus Seminar, a group of 150 writers and scholars who study the historicity of Jesus, the organizer of a Web community for those interested in the history of Christianity,[8] and sits on the advisory board of the Secular Student Alliance.[3] He is a religious skeptic, especially of orthodox Christian beliefs, occasionally describing himself as a Christian atheist." As I read Robert M. Price's Resume, he comes across as a man who’s views change with times based on what might sell on the book shelves month to month. "describing himself as a Christian atheist." ???

9:18 yeah , they can choose whatever they want , this is tricky though, they all chose to think high of themselves and accuse falsehood from a moral high ground , this is where the truth comes in , what about you , are you truthful , than there’s silence , denial , intentional blindness for reality = alice in wonderland

“In every man sleeps a prophet, and when he wakes there is a little more evil in the world.” Emil Cioran

Dead people don't come back to life. PERIOD.

Unfortunate comments about Peter Singer, but it would be a bad sign if I couldn't find anything I disagreed with Price on. Not that I excuse him for that comment; it seemed to be purely emotional, reactionary, and blindly anthropocentric.

This is Luke Skywalker, the Last Biblical Jedi.

Starts @ 1:00

The problem seems to be that no-one 'knows' God in the sense that you might 'know' a close friend. Some people clearly 'know of Him' and worship Him as they have been instructed so to do. Unless and until He is 'known' The Bible will remain largely an impenetrable mystery. It is predicted in The Bible however, that one day everyone will 'know' God and perhaps then the endless wrangling will cease (or at least diminish). The nature of God is for the time being a mystery and currently speculation abounds. If Christ comes again it might at last be possible to put the matter to bed, but who knows when that will be?

he looks like orson wells...

We got plenty of’ babies. PLENTY.

Bernadette Roberts interview - RU-vid

N T Wright is just Falwell in a better suit? Really?

I don't understand at all anyone picking their belief systems off a shelf. The teaching that is the new testament is something to be studied, not adopted for want of a belief. One seeks to know God, not be assured, without evidence, or confidence, that He is there. By the time we become capable of any kind of reflectiveness we have already been through a mighty process of conditioning. At the heart of the spiritual message there is the assumption that we have profoundly misunderstood who and what we are. And this much, to my mind, ought to be obvious. There is much talk of rationale and evidence based living, but I see no evidence of it in individuals, whose rationale seeks only to support their untested and unfounded belief systems. What appears before consciousness as a complete world is logically subjective. But it is this world view, as a whole and in its many parts, that can and should be the subject of questioning. Our minds were made up for us, and we were merely duplicitous in the act

This Guy and Randall Carlson and Bill hicks

Hilarious and scholarly

Maybe Jesus is just "Missing In Action".

That guy on mythvision stabbed Dr price In the back..unreal

if a genuine godzilla attack would happen, there would be news coverage of it almost immediately, from multiple sources, and even more importantly there would be verifiable evidence from the scene for all to study. you also need scientific knowledge to interpert the data and an objective mindframe, which the writers of the bible did not have, as the founders of a local and particular belief system

when the car is on e-you need to get gasoline

?

Dropping bombs on some big names.. I like

look how easily he swallowed the holocaust story; hook, line and sinker! Where did his critical thinking go?!
