I watched the video. Not that deep in analysis. But damn, the comments are full of Peterson haters.

```
There was no judeo-christian society before WW2 brought Jews and Christians together. Up to that time, both had been very exclusionary, and certainly Christians commonly demonized Jews for thousands of years.```

There are some creationists there too...

There's a Muslim there too.

I'm looking foreword to that starship troopers vid tho , it's one of my favorite childhood movies

Anyway, the essence of the video is what I guessed. Sam Harris lacks depth. This dude needed depth, because his life was in the shitter, and the more he thought about the things Harris said, the more he started to doubt things.

who started to doubt things Sam or Jordan?

Mouthy Buddha, the creator of the video. He talks about his personal experience.

k right my bad lol

meh never got into his shit

```
I like both of them, but when it comes to religion the only person who can be right is Sam```

Boy, these comments...

I'm looking forward for the next Harris-Peterson debate.

Peterson said he read all of Harris' book. In like a week.

I mean religion is faith based

And he was almost shocked about the superficial level of analysis Harris does.

So the next debate might have some serious ass-whooping coming Harris' way.

No more "well, read my book, then you'll understand what I mean, I won't bother explaining myself right now" excuses.

only 10 mind I'll check the vid

During the first few Biblical Lectures, I would see some atheists commenting how they were glad Peterson was destroying Christianity. It's funny how people can choose to interpret things to validate whatever they want.

Now, because he makes it clear he's making a case for religion (not the theological side, just the practical side), it seems they all turned against him.

I can see why as refusing God is a Cardinal sin, and as they see it Jordan is demonstrating that the rules God have given man work not because of a higher wisdom but because, of the human animal or machine had all along an instruction manual he had to discover, also people being tribal and shit

the thing Jordan is doing tho is 2 fold such it can attract atheists to religion practices and finally religion

Peterson wants to point out that the stories have a meaning. It's not just "stupid nonsense"; if you brush them off with that argument, you're being willfully ignorant.

He draws between atheism and pragmatically interpreting religion. If his talks bring atheists into religion, they have to take a step further to get beyond the Gnosticism hurdle

He doesn't focus on the existence of God. He focuses on whether people act as if there was a God, or not.

And the God they based their acts on, what it's like.

For instance, the fact that God can't be of the realm of men. Not a God King, God Emperor, God Pharaoh. There's a meaning behind this particular decision, on how to depict God. And it's most certainly not a universal trait of all religions.

The very concept that a King owes something to a greater entity, greater purpose, greater good.

if it was directed at me I wasn't brushing off stories in religious texts as nonsense , nor did I say so

Not you, but the likes of Dawkins and Hitchens.

k cool

I d like to see Peterson start a media network like brietbart

The Chinese emperors being buried with their armies, concubines, servants. Just so they could continue having power, sex and comfort in the afterlife. The Judeo-Christian God is a symbol that's directly against it. Why didn't the Chinese come up with that idea? They certainly had a very long history to figure it out.

also tho the story where Jesus was cursing the Figg tree for not producing fruit has a funny connotation .

And boy, do we have Figg trees today...

me idk about that , if you ask an archeologist , what we know about the past is really mixed up and very vague to say the least

We call them faggots though.

The education systen needs to be fixed tbh
