The most self-confident exponent of online New Atheism has a message up praising the secular version of Christmas, Mythicism and, most of all, himself. It also includes a prooftext-heavy critcism of Jesus and his customary potshots against critics. www.richardcarrier.info/archives/11828It's typical Carrier stuff: long-winded, too sprawling, dubiously researched and with a fair deal of wilful, tendentious interpretation. A lot of his 'facts' are of the same quality as those found in a FFRF screed. So Christmas trees for instance are said to have been derived from pagan practices (rather than originating in Germany and the Baltic area). But it's good to see Carrier is still capable of creating his usual blogorrhoea despite his recent downscale and run-in with the law.
