| CITAZIONE Dall'articolo postato da way (grassetto mio):
Carrier is actually the epitome of what is wrong with the way New Atheism tends to approach history - starting with any conclusion that makes religion in general and/or Christianity in particular look as bad a possible and then cherry picking evidence or arguments to support that a priori position over any other interpretation. Because he has a good knowledge of the source material and is a good polemicist he happens to be much better at this game than, say, Hitchens or, worse still, Dawkins. And years of performing to a peanut gallery of generally historically-illiterate atheist fanboys seems to have convinced him of his own vast omni-competence. Carrier is precisely the kind of person who has always made the very worst kind of historian - an ideologue with an agenda. E questo da un "Wry, dry, rather sarcastic, eccentric, occasionally arrogant Irish-Australian atheist bastard." (folle apologeta sotto copertura?), povero carter, splendida anche la foto CITAZIONE Now, I will admit to some jealousy of Carrier in one sense: I wish I could give up my professional career and indulge in a hobby - say, book binding or fly fishing - as a full time pursuit while my patient spouse supported me financially. But while Carrier does enjoy this rare privilege he remains, as I said, not a professional academic but simply a blogger with a higher degree. And there's no great shortage of them on the internet. C'è solo un modo per fermarlo, mostrare l'articolo alla moglie
