The Raw Deal (10 October 2025) with co-host Paul from CA and special guest David Skrbina

David Skrbina is the author of The Jesus Hoax and other books. Began with missile shortages to send to Ukraine, which may have motivated the (extremely bad) idea of sending Tomahawks. Russia reportedly has sent nukes to Venezuela. It may have developed a nuclear torpedo that could take out an entire naval fleet. Discussion and reflection on Judaism and Israel now appears to be taking place, which is most welcome, where my guest has done extensive research on the historical Jesus and the extent to which facts about him are known--which turns out to be very sparse. He explained the role of Paul and of the gospels, where Paul offered numerous astute observations. This was an extremely interesting conservation and I want to have him back to talk about his investigations of the nature and impact of technology, one the one hand, and perhaps on the nature of mind and consciousness, on the other. No doubt, Paul will have a lot to say about those, too.
