The Further Historicity of Jesus: Interview with Dr. Richard Carrier (Did Jesus exist?)

My 2nd Richard Carrier interview, the response from the 1st was so overwhelming, including from Christian Fundamentalists and Apologists and their apologetics, that we had to talk again on the historicity of Jesus, the historicity of the gospels, and mythicism, and so Dr Richard Carrier and I talked again in earlier this year about the historicity of Jesus, and the mythology, and the development of Christianity. Asking questions such as was there collaboration between the gospel writers, does the Vatican have any secrets, and what happened to Jesus growing up?
