From the Acharya's blog:

Quote:
D.M. Murdock on Point of Inquiry radio show w/ Dr. Price

My recent radio program with Dr. Robert M. Price is now live at the Point of Inquiry website, hosted by Center for Inquiry:

D.M. Murdock - The Christ Conspiracy

In this rare audio meeting of minds, Bob and I discuss the following subjects:

* My religious upbringing and what I consider myself now
* How I became convinced Jesus Christ is a mythical figure
* What is astrotheology
* The revision of The Christ Conspiracy
* What my book Suns of God is about
* What I think of Kersey Graves
* Krishna, Mithra and Horus "crucified"
* The Egyptian religion as the basis of Christianity
* Entheogenic origins of religious ideation
* What is mythicism and why we need a mythicist position
* Why mainstream scholars don't study mythicism

Enjoy!

And thanks to the Center for Inquiry for hosting this groundbreaking program!

I love that price mentioned the problems with using Clement & Ignatius for pushing the New Testament books to an earlier date, since those may very well be forgeries as well. I tried to make that point in my now defunct New Testament videos. Glad to hear a credentialed scholar stating as much.

Also glad to hear Acharya clarify the deal with Krishna & Mithra "crucified", because some folks are so hardline about that one, I hear it all the time- "NO! If these guys were not nailed to a piece of wood in the shape of a 'T' then there is NO parallel AT ALL and Acharya is 100% WRONG and so anything she says should be immediately dismissed ENTIRELY!" and so on.

And did either Acharya or Price ever figure out the source that bit about Isis saying something like "where is my lord, where have they taken him" etc.?
I tried googling it to no avail. It does sound familiar in a generic sense. It's buggin me now & I really wish I could find out where this comes from, whether genuine or not.

Where is this being played at? I clicked on the highlighted "D.M. Murdock on Point of Inquiry radio show w/ Dr. Price" and it took me to the home page but that's it.

Did not necessarily have to be in the shape of a T:

http://christianity.about.com/od/biblef ... nforms.htm

The whole idea is death and resurrection yet I have heard some christians state that they believe the bone box (James Ossuary) was jesus remains which little do they realize admitting this constitues that he never rose from the dead.

Absurd. A person can be crucified on a brick wall or any solid structure than will support the weight of the victim does not necessarily have to be a cross. If Acharya's work did not hit home they would not be scurrying so fast back peddling trying to counterattack. No I think she has nailed them to the cross.

May 5, 2013 Guests: Robert M. Price and Jerry DeWitt

"There is hope after faith! We listen to former pentecostal minister Jerry DeWitt "preach" his story of conversion to atheism before 900 nonbelievers at FFRF's 2012 Convention. Then we talk with another former preacher, Robert Price—scholar, author, Jesus Seminar fellow, and professor of theology—who tells us why many scholars doubt not only the resurrection, but also the very existence of Jesus."

http://ffrf.org/news/radio/shows/

Dr. Price begins after 22 minutes. The new contra Bart Ehrman book and Nazareth comes up at 32:30, however, time is short and he doesn't really have enough time to address much. I wish they had more time with him to really explore his thoughts.
