Thank you for the excellent teaching. I do have a question. Easter is an English word and this name is not Greek or Hebrew. The word Easter is not found in the Bible and neither Paul nor the early Church. Would it not be not be a more appropriate name to call the resurrection of Jesus the ‘New Passover or Resurrection Day’? The word ‘Easter’ is highly probable a pagan name. To substitute Easter instead of the original Greek or Hebrew would not be my choice to call the resurrection of Jesus on the Feast of First Fruits? David Tacha

Thank you for this video. I’ve been looking for a good video about hypatia

Tom joins the dots. The Bible joins the dots. You are free as Adam and Eve to disregard God and mankinds history with God. The premise of the New Testament is that you merely need to "believe". I have danced around that need for most of my life, but at 69 years old find the Bible's story compelling. Ask yourself who you will cry out to (or scream at) when all hope is lost, and you are drowning, alone, lost at sea (for example).

Why should I believe this post? The agenda is so blatantly presented it gives me no reason to consider it. But then most of the distortions of the story of Hypatia are also the result of agendas. I've just read a relatively recent book, "Hypatia: The Life and Legend of an Ancient Philosopher", which is scholarly but accessible - and seems to look for the truth (Hypatia's primary motivation as an ancient philosopher) without dogma - which is not what is happening here...

Much appreciated.

It's generally accepted now that Jesus was born in 100 to 150 AD..

came over from paulogia subbed

Sou cristão se por acaso Jesus for mito não perdi nada é agora se JESUS CRISTO for verdade vcs ateus estarão lascado

The problem in England was they had holy or civil wars from the 11th - 17th centuries, which kept destroying the infrastructure. Once the troublemakers went off to the new world, England had internal peace, and within 2 centuries they’d invented the railways and iron ships. Also the end of feudalism and slow introduction of democracy went towards internal peace, finally allowing progress. However, the UK was on the brink of civil war in 1914, but WWI broke out and the internal differences were swiftly forgotten.

Do you personally consider Christianity to better than the other religions, Tim?

They were even altering Joshua after Josephus! ua-cam.com/video/ZEEhqRxfFck/v-deo.html

Joe rogan is right. Usa and turkey fund terrorism under the umbrella of sunni Islam. Does that make them Muslims. No. Do they just need money to attack usa opponents like Russia in syria. No . The abuse of ideology is powerful

Almost all the problems in religion have to do with improper interpretation of what has been written.

It sounds as if 'dark' is a substitute for a whole range of sub-textual meanings - some identify 'light' with 'secular'; others with 'access to scientific attitudes'; others 'clarity of available records'; others with technical achievements, or literary developments. .. everyone at cross-purposes. Frankly, as far as civilised, tolerant and inclusive attitudes, I think the so-called 'Enlightment' is 'darker' in Europe than the 7th.C. On the other hand, you compare what happened to representatives of the Caliph of Baghdad in Europe when they came to see Charlemagne, with the reciprocal and there's no doubt Europe was a less enlightened place, though both sides were equally religious. I consider western Europe a benighted place, in the sense of actively intolerant and unreasonably self-satisfied, for most of its history.

Great interview! Have you ever considered writig an article on the myth that the medieval church forbade or discouraged bathing and cleanlyness in general? There is this pervasive myth in atheist circles and outside of them that medieval people didn't bathe, didn't wash themselves and just dumped waste into the streets out of their windows. This is widely blamed on the church supposedly considering bathing sinfull and of course destroying the ancient knowledge that keeping yourself clean is good for you. There are already good debunkings on this myth out there, but it would be very interesting to have an article specifically on the church's stance towards bathing and cleanlyness.

Can anyone tell me anything about the ossuary inscription discovered in Nazareth and described by Dalman in ‘Orte und Wege Jesu’. Apparently it reads: סועם בר מנהם נוח נפש. Prof. Dark doesn’t mention it in his book, and in Klein’s ‘Jüdisch-palästinisches Corpus Inscriptionum’ it’s number 166. Could it be 1st century, and what does the first word mean?

💥I find his word insidious as pertains to the spread of Christianity amusing in its passive aggressive undertone.

You have blurred the lines but they are still paralle!l

Thank you.

I still prefer the blog, but want to get into the interviews. Please dont miss the The Crappy Golden Orrery Award this year! That must he a regular and consistent staple on this channel.

Tim O'Neill's website is a gold mine. He is a true scholar in that he simply follows the evidence wherever that may lead him. He has a very no-nonsense approach.

27:50 There is a german history channel on youtube called "Geschichtsfenster" ("History Window"). The guy running it, Andrej Pfeiffer-Perkuhn, is a self-professed Atheist... and he also constantly has to defend the (medieval) catholic church against all the crap levelled against it. "The all powerful church did that blabla". And, naturally, when he does it, he also gets accused of being a christian apologist by anti-theists or wannabe neo-pagans. Language barriers aside, the channel is generally held up to be pretty good, even some historians and university professors have referred to him at points. He also is in contact with mutliple Dr. of history who also stream/make youtube videos, also german speaking, in a twitch group called "Kulturkollektiv", "Culture collective". Geschichtsfenster and another one of those (Copeylius, Dr. thesis on the medieval defenses of Vienna) also are advisors for the indie video game Manor Lords. Otherwise, I stumbled on a WIRED Video on witches today, and the comments were, to a large extent, the usual shlock...

I would have loved to know this stuff when I was doing my degree. This has filled in so many blanks. Thank you again Dr Kipp.

Great video! I'm glad you touched on the weird fallacy that no new traditions could possibly have ever sprung up over the course of a couple millennia, cos I noticed that assumption too and it bugs me so much! Not to mention that Christianity has roots in Judaism which itself is a few thousand years old, but somehow everyone forget about that too and only focuses on supposed/imagined pagan practices. It never sat right with me either that they'd make these claims - I'm no expert in European history, but I am a former archaeologist, so I know how shaky claims about ancient practices can be unless there's good documentation or artifacts supporting the interpretation or claim... I couldn't help but notice how conveniently the claims lined up with the goals of neo-pagans and anti-theists too. I always wondered how they "knew" all these details about Samhain practices given the time period it was supposedly practiced in, and I couldn't find much information to support the claims.... I guess it's because there's nothing to find 😆

Kipp does realize scholars have pre filtered teachings and not necessarily truths. The great Hendrix would say No Experience LMAO

Excellent conversation! I love the middle ages

Wait, this is another insidious machinations of the misogynistic, femicidal patriarchy, isn't it? 👁️

The title of your channel did provoke a laugh, but not a view.

I have not found anyone taking apart Gunnar Heinsohn's work, & he is using thousands of Roman excavated sites as data. The dark ages he talks about are centered around 936 AD.

Aha! A few more people leave my tveeter feed... Well done!

Yeah. For all their greatness, ancient Rome and ancient Greece were rather brutal places. And look at modern history - WW I and WW II, communist regimes, and so on. So it goes. We need more of this kind of discussion. (But still, I do love Monty Python's take on it. 😁😁😁 )

Great stuff

thanks this was helpful

What about Muslim world? Did they believed earth was a globe?

I think a lot of the Halloween hate comes from Protestants who are just ignorant. (I’m not Catholic)

It's still embarrassing Augustine thought the Southern Hemisphere had no human population!

I agree the conversion was genuine but it could also be politically convenient. It doesnt have to be mutually exclusive.

I absolutely love this channel! Regarding this particular video I am less enthusiastic. Based solely on this interview, I find Holland’s thesis simplistic, problematic, and possibly unfalsifiable. It whitewashes the socially regressive and patriarchal/misogynistic ideas of Christianity, its vile history of oppression and persecution of Jews as ‘Christ Killers’, fails to define what ‘Christianity’ even is (it depends on who you ask and what parts of scripture you read), and ignores the fact that kindness, compassion, and philanthropy were concepts that were well entrenched in early Greek thought and ethics- not to mention many other non-Western religious and philosophical traditions that existed before Jesus came on the scene. The idea that kindness, generosity, humility, and compassion were invented by Judeo-Christianity is, of course, utter nonsense! The thesis also neglects to consider that the scientific approach to understanding the world is quite antithetical to Judeo-Christian perspectives which rely rather uncritically on revelation, mysticism, hearsay, wishful/magical thinking, post-hoc reasoning, retrofitting, and shear make-believe. I’m not aware of any statement in the Hebrew or Christian bible which praised empirical observation, intelligence, skepticism, and reason, which were hallmarks of the Renaissance, Enlightenment, and Scientific Age. My sense is that Holland, like other Christian apologists, very much WANTS to be ‘Christian’ (whatever that means) and has structured his thesis to give his desire a veneer of intellectual respectability. To test and confirm his thesis, one would have to re-run history without Christianity and observe that we would not have ended up with our current set of modern Western ideas (whatever those are). Of course, because we cannot rewind history and change it his thesis must remain speculative at best. One could just as well argue that we would have arrived at our present situation hundreds of years earlier had it not been for Christianity dragging down human progress. Perhaps he addresses all these problematic issues in this book, but this interview, as eloquent and intelligent as the host and guest are, does not give me much confidence that he does.

I picked up Dominion yesterday after listening to your episode with Tom Holland. Your page has changed my perspective; I didn't realize how much i was being precisely that which I accused theists of being. Because the New Atheists presented their science so confidentially and with such precision, I trusted their history, unaware of how erroneous it is. As an Atheist, I pride myself on my ability to change my views when presented with the facts, no matter how solidified they are. Thank you for what you are doing!

Just lay person no academic background, why denigrate the ancients ? You admit we know few certainy about the past. My offer to lost knowledge is the "Antikythera" mechanism, the two 2, 700 year old magnifying glass "Nimrud lens and Egyptian lens called jewelry, nevertheless with obvious magnifying abilities. Lastly, the "Baghdad" battery said to be used in electro-platting all in ancient times probably considered to be a form of magic. Nevertheless, more than possible that within a few hundred years if the knowledge was not lost as many manuscripts are lost a real science would have been developed. All attributed to gods...or G*D !

ua-cam.com/video/obwnI2USVOA/v-deo.htmlsi=8i1FQ39PLYuEoUuK A good video regarding the same thing

Tell me the truth is the most important thing

Question, what historical myths are common in religious circles that are worth debunking.

This is excellent content. The false beliefs about this topic are SO WIDESPREAD. You deserve so many more subscribers to dispel these myths. We live in an Information Age. It’s about time these slanderous anti-Catholic/Christian myths are laid to rest with the truth. I’m happy to have discovered your channel and will be sharing it.

Not an atheist, as I'm not a midwit, but I would like to defend Carl Sagan. If some science man acting with bono animi motus, wants to warn you against the supposed dangers of being an anti-intellectual, and he confuses the serapeum with the main library in the process, let him. This is what we call societas, atheists. I know, its hard to conceptualize, as fellow-feeling is probably a strange and foreign concept, but I assure you that it is in everyone's best interest for you to shut up for once, and listen. Atheists are so desperate to debunk and do everything to the letter, it often leads to obvious foibles as this. Discrimination between the Serapeum, and the main library, makes no difference to what Carl Sagan had to say. And as an aside, do you really think Carl Sagan was doing anything other than being succinct? Do you really think Carl never heard anyone blame it on Umar ibn al Khattab? Cmon... How are you so smart to sus out these sources, but you can't use basic rationality? This is why no one wants to talk to atheists, and why you have no place in a civilized society, other than a phase young men go through, when their intelligence has outgrown what they know.

I apologize for my ignorance, I haven't read the whole Bible, I've mostly read the New Testament. Where exactly is written in the Bible that the Earth is flat? Thanks to anyone who will be willing to answer me.

Rogan, in fact, did not treat himself with horse dewormer. CNN had to recant their statements. They also altered the instagram video he posted. Rogan does run off at the mouth in some of the most erroneous ways imaginable. However, this is verified misinformation.

They have the power of The Scrolls... I always think of Handel's Messiah when that prophecy from Isaiah is mentioned. Which I guess makes me a Christian in interpretation.

Nice!!!

Still pagan
