Nietzsche my dude

Hitchens knows the answer that question now doesn’t he? LOL

Doesn't Peterson basically keep religion around though?

It's over half of what Peterson uses for his talks

Peterson is in a weird state where to him God is Order and he acts as though God exists and considers that sufficient

I would argue that it is impossible to establish a solid foundation for a secular replacement for religion. It’s just not gonna work.

Why is that?

I think Jordan Peterson makes the point "I behave like God exists."

Yes, and his definition of God is basically just a force of Order

I posted a relavent <#266396659062145025>

And I'm the Keynesian

OwO

Kind of? It's a weird half in half out thing

@Deleted User I wonder who that guy is based off of...

No that’s just diesm in general.

Also I would drop you on the helicopter that is _MY DICK_

I thought deism was the hands-off God

Not God-as-concept

Pretty much the same.

To clarify I'm talking about "a supernatural being created the universe and then fucked off" vs "this virtue is God"

Which aren't the same

Theism is just religion

Or at least what people typically mean when they say religion

Sure

Monotheism is theism based around a God, like the Abrahamic faiths, Atheism is based around no Gods, either due to assertion of proof against or just lack of proof for

Theism is the common root

Still functionally the same. Jordan Peterson can’t state what he actually believes about God in his position.

Why do you figure that?

He has at one point saying that he does not but he lives like he does

Because the ideas are like denominations of the same religion.

Peterson gets called a Nazi and lectures on the bible all the time. I don't think saying "I'm Christian and believe in God" would hurt him

By that logic all Monotheism is just Zoroastrianism

The Christian God has specific properties. If you don't believe those properties how are you still a Christian?

Ok. I see your point.

But they are still functionally the same.

In some scenarios, sure. Does Peterson believe the creation story though? Or just use it as metaphor?

He treats it metaphorically

Does he believe the events in the Bible or see them as fables that he uses to create his own moral compass, hence his use of Nietzsche?

A blend of both

There are historical aspects of the bible and there are the miraculous/mystical aspects of it

Why is a deist required to view the creation of the universe through a Christian Lens ? Deism is the idea that God exist creative universe and stepped aside. That’s it.
