This week Derek speaks with Raphael Lataster, a
secular PhD researcher in religious studies who focuses on philosophy of
religion, Christian origins, logic, Bayesian reasoning, and the social
impacts of atheism. His Master's thesis dealt with Jesus mythicism,
concluding that historical and Bayesian reasoning justifies a skeptical
position in regards to any form of 'historical Jesus'. His work led him
to write his new book, 'There Was No Jesus, There Is No God'. Derek
decided to sit down and talk with Raphael and find out more about how
the ideas contained in the book came about and how they fit when so many
prominent, modern, religious scholars tend to keep making statements as
to the historical certainty of a Jesus figure.
