Doltologis: do you have a link to Carrier's stuff? Or a recommendation on where to start?
Which of his books are you reading (or previously read)?
I found this quite interesting from his Wikipedia page:
Though originally skeptical of the Christ myth theory, since late 2005 he has considered it "very probable Jesus never actually existed as a historical person."[12] He also said "though I foresee a rising challenge among qualified experts against the assumption of historicity [of Jesus], as I explained, that remains only a hypothesis that has yet to survive proper peer review."
