The Atheist Edge "20 Commandments"
1. Thou shall create quality content.
2. Thou shall upload regularly.
3. Thou shall have alligator skin and ignore trolls.
4. Thou shall not constantly beg for likes, subs and donations.
5. Thou shall continually strive to improve production quality.
6. Thou shall think with thy head instead of thy heart.
7. Thou shall not perpetuate drama or rumors.
8. Thou shall never delete, ban or censor opposing viewpoints.
9. Thou shall admit when you are wrong and never double down.
10. Thou shall attack the ideas, not the person.
11. Thou shall not recommend a book, article, study or a video during a discussion. You aren't explaining your point very well if you have to recommend a book. Plus, it's condescending and presumptuous.
12. "I would love to see you in a debate with ___." Thou shall shut thy f*ing mouth and form an independent thought for once in your life.
13. Thou shall not bring up a separate/bigger problem to minimize or discredit the problem I was originally talking about ("whataboutism"/"thisisbiggerism").
14. Thou shall not come on my show, talk for two hours, let me spend five more hours producing the first 30 minutes of raw footage, then conclude that you think your arguments weren't strong enough and decide to pull the plug.
15. Thou shall never tell anyone to "educate yourself". If you are unwilling or unable to "educate" them, you shouldn't be having the conversation.
16. Thou shall immediately lose all credibility if you resort to name-calling.
17. Thou shall not "test" people by asking them if they are familiar with a particular concept. Arrogantly putting the other person on the spot, or purposely trying to make them look ignorant, tends to backfire spectacularly.
18. Thou shalt not send a link to an article or study without noting the page number and relevant paragraphs.
19. Thou shalt not tell a content creator they should switch to a different format, style, or set of topics. "Christians are boring, you should only interview atheists or science experts from now on." Sounds great...now go start your own f*ing show and do exactly that.
20. [Unintentional] Offense can only be taken, never given. Clutching your pearls and fainting on your couch does nothing to strengthen your argument.

Richard Carrier is clearly brilliant. I'm amazed at how well he synthesizes historical and scientific literature to make such strong cases for his hypotheses that's understandable to lay people.

Richard is and amazing scholar. I really enjoy listening to him blow away theist arguments. Keep it up, your work is more important than you think!

Richard Carrier is a brilliant path-breaking scholar. I bought both "On the Historicity of Jesus" and "Not The Impossible Faith". I highly recommend both.

I often quote Richard and David Fitzgerald on YouTube & Twitter in "debates" with theists - I think they're the best in the business. I have been an atheist for years but these guys made me a mythicist too!

I've always thought that Richard Carrier is a walking library.

Also Richard is amazing. Half way through Historicity and it's great!

That may seem a bizarre suggestion but some of the discussions I’ve seen him have are not very high calibre, to say the least. That lady, Quality Existence, I think might oblige, which would be interesting because she’s currently establishing herself among the likes of Vervaeke and Vanderklay, and they are interesting... Carrier would be the cat among the pigeons, I’d love to see that.

Two minutes in and I find the guy's voice, hair style and hair colour intensely annoying. I know the content is far more important than the presentation, but I cannot manage to watch any more of him. Especially when he laughs. I'd rather flay my skin off with a cheese grater, douse my raw flesh with vinegar and then rub salt all over myself. And then maybe do something to myself that *really* hurts.
