Students. Fully Equipped. Fully Engaged.

On Feb. 21, 2013 I had the opportunity to hear Dr. Richard Carrier, popular author and internet atheist, for the second time at UNC Greensboro. The UNCG Atheists, Agnostics, and Skeptics club invited him to present his case for why the historical Jesus never really existed and is actually only a myth.

Sometimes, most times it seems, the correct answer is the simple answer; it is the one that has been staring you right in the face. I don’t know why we assume that difficult problems require difficult solutions.
