If you take any book or article by Richard Carrier and just investigate the footnotes, you can see very early on that the ethical infractions are eventually going to surface in this guy's life.
Unless they can justify objective morality atheists shouldn't judge Richard Carrier since he self identifies as being "no less a philosopher than Aristotle", and apparently no less a philanderer than Don Juan.
Until atheists do, they have no basis to condemn Richard Carrier for believing his dream world to actually be real. Given atheism, self-delusion is not impermissible.

DeleteGiven sex is what he really lives for, Richard Carrier should've considered becoming the leader of a sex cult instead.
ReplyDeleteThen again, Carrier isn't very charismatic or commanding so he might not have been able to make it.
