Why can’t he answer the question “do you believe in God?” It’s a “yes”, “no” or “I don’t know” question. Instead he always says “what do you mean by God?” or “What do you mean by belief?” As if it’s not totally obvious what the question is asking.

He wants to fool people into not really believing in God and he is pretty good at fooling people. He is a liberal pedo that pretends to be a conservative christian to fool conservative leaning people into being liberal, he dissuades people from the God of the Bible by giving retards an atheistic or "philosophical" view of God. He is the most high caliber con man I ever saw, he is probably possessed. He done some bad bad rituals for sure

>> No.21421809

He explains how he believes in God and it filters people who want to stick him with a simplistic label and box in his beliefs. The best thing about him is that he filters people one wouldn't want to associate with.

Atheists always try to define God FOR me when I debate them, and it's always a disgustingly reductive take like, "SO YOU BELEIVE IN A MAGIC SKY DADDY LMAOOOOOO".

It's like their capacity for perspective is incredibly narrow. It must be a low IQ thing.

The canadian police questioned him because he messaged a 14 yo boy the day he disappeared, the body was found sometime later. He has clothes like robes like that movie eyes wide shut, he took photos dressed in them and posted online pic related. He worked on the un and he is pushed all over the msm, nobody gets exposure like him unless he is in on the club.

It's either this, or he is *really* trying to abide by his rule of life "Tell the truth – or, at least, don't lie.". I suspect he doesn't believe in god, but doesn't want to alienate anyone who does, but he doesn't want to lie and say that he believes in god.

I understand your confusion. The guy you're talking to is behaving in an unusual way. In general, people do not acknowledge the personal existence of the authors of the posts they see. It is unusual to ask a question seeking to learn something personal about someone — something that isn't obviously useful information to the asker.

There is no "should believe". Divine literature is hiddenly descriptive, not prescriptive like most people think. If you live a God-fearing life, you live a life fit to a human. Divine trust is a need like thirst or hunger. Everybody caters to that need differently, the default is faith though. Has been, since humans existed.

whenever Peterson is asked this question he is given free rain. He can define God however he wants and instead he sits on an electric fence. there's really no middle ground here. Also he's anti-trans but pro-gay so he's obviously not a tradcath or evangelical.
