Saturday this April 25 (2015) I’ll be one of three featured speakers at the new Mythinformation Conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, sponsored by Mythicist Milwaukee. I’ll be joining James Kirk Wall and Hemant Mehta. Of course I’ll be featuring the myth that is Jesus. Wall will speak on “Defending Reason From Idiots and Frauds” and Mehta on “Skeptics Can Be Gullible, Too!” I’ll be selling and signing my books. And if you level up your tickets, you can join us at the VIP afterparty! For all the details—and to get tickets before they sell out—check out the conference website.

Just a quick thought about mythicism:
Rev 13:8 says “All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast–all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.”
If Christ was “slain” since “the creation of the world,” wouldn’t this be more suggestive of a mythicist position than a historicist position?
The Greek says the names have to have been written in the book since creation, not that Jesus was slaughtered since creation.
Ive watched your YT video, and im wondering why do you quote “Romans” to get Pauls opinions when its author is unknown and definitely not from Paul ?
I assume you mean Hebrews? Romans is definitely authentic Paul.
