>How am I supposed to relieve my sexual urges..?

You surrender your will to God and be delivered from your base desires until you find a wife.

Christians can't appeal to divine mystery or the transcendence of God in order to justify the Trinity since the idea of the Incarnation completely violates God's transcendence.

Hey OP, i'm back. I have some ideas on how you could fix your fanfiction.
So, for starters, you should try to be a little more subtle with your own bias. I'm not saying you should leave out the political commentary, not at all, but your style here it's too obvious, kinda like what Ayn Rand does on her novels, and no sane person likes those for a good reason. For example, where you wrote "the arrogant professor smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied", you could have left the jewness of the professor implicit, by saying he had a big nose or actually stating his name and lastname. That's off the top of my head, but you get my drift.
Second, try to not be redundant. "Hitler himself showed up and enacted Enabling Act". That's just painful to read.
Also, as "liberal plague syphilis" ain't a real disease, you should have implied the existence of this illness before. You just can't write about that and pretend that we all know what you're talking about.
Finally, the cameo of Heidegger at the end feels a little contrived, as Heidegger himself was unable to fly. I would keep it out of the final manuscript if i were you.
Despite that, keep it up OP! I liked most of it!

The only people that can benefit from Peterson are reddit tier midwits that don't actually read much and can't socialize due to personal insecurities. He's not awful, but he is still a pop intellectual and a secular psychologist who barely delves into metaphysics or "mysticism" through Jung, so the amount of insight you can get from him if you know better is very limited. If you are not the sad and lonely product of the 21th century, you just can't extract useful knowledge from him, because you already know what he's saying.

>nobody seems to have any complaints over the advice he gives specifically.

I had read 12 rules for life, mostly out of curiosity when newfags started shilling it back in 2016. Some of the advices are good, as i said, for insecure kids who haven't actually figured this out by themselves, like some keys to develop confidence, or how to get a little humility, or the fact that, as a parent, maybe you should not let your children do something you dislike. Others advices are quite obnoxious, like standing up with your shoulders back or "cleaning up your room" (i mean, you really should had come up with this by yourself at some point in your teenage years, men). The last two rules (this is "Do not bother children when they are skateboarding" and "pet a cat when you encounter one on the street") are just plain dumb.

>The question is why does /lit/ have such a visceral need for Peterson to be made out as a charlatan, or at least someone who's advice should not be trusted (based on the fact of his addiction)?
>I have a guess: people are upset with themselves, as the answers they need to uplift themselves have been presented to them but they either lack the motivation or the humility to implement them. And then they attack Peterson because his advice seems too obvious, as though they were waiting for some kind of revolutionary idea nobody could've ever spoken before that would inspire them to get off their ass and take control of their own lives.

You are kinda right there, but no. Peterson's advice seem obvious here because it is; if you need someone to tell you to clean up your room and not being an insecure faggot who befriends assholes, that's on you, but don't expect must sympathies here. The few people that still read on /lit/ know better than listening to a pop intellectual, and the rest of the anons just jumped on the train for the sake of kicking Peterson while he's on the ground.

Name ONE (1) good 21th century book about psychology or psychiatry

>I stop reading any non scientific book wrote by a female

This was your biggest mistake here. At some point in college i came to similar conclusions as you did OP, but in a less autistic and coomer way. I realized that, with very few exceptions, women can't actually write at all, either fiction or non-fiction.
I can't really express how easier my life became the moment i decided to stop wasting my time with papers wrote by women and figured out that i could read a paper wrote by a male about the same subject, and it would be much more concise and straight to the point than anything an average woman could write.
