He clearly is a 'believer' who finds value in the christian doctrine but avoids claiming to be a Christian for good reasons, if I was him I would avoid it because:

-It's cringe to make your faith a public topic
-he has other things to talk about that he feels like he is more suited to talk about.
-It would create unnecessary scrutiny on him "wow he did this but the bible says this, what a fraud".
-Despite his huge ego, it isn't huge enough for him to think his social commentary work is aligned with Christianity.
-There are a lot of bad (or viewed as bad) Christians he doesn't want to be lumped in with, I know he could help change this public perception but not his problem.
-Doesn't want to alienate fans, possibly believes he can convert more people this way.

Christianity copied things from Buddhism, even Buddhist terms in the gospels. Most westerners are oblivious to this. Buddhism existed at least 500 years before Christianity. Consider the following: Like Simon Peter, the Buddha’s chief disciple (Sariputra) was also called “the rock” and the terms barjonas/barpetras were used for him in the earliest Buddhist texts. Buddhism existed hundreds of years before Christianity yet the gospels have Buddhist terms. Here’s a video about it. The “Temptation of Christ” is also a copy of “The Temptation of the Buddha.” They barely even changed the title. It’s one of the oldest Buddhist stories and is about the Buddha being tempted in the wilderness by the devil and it’s basically identical, even having a nearly identical title. Watch this video if you actually want to know the truth. Again, Sariputra, the Buddha's chief disciple was called The Rock, Barjonas/Barpetras just like Simon Peter, who was Jesus' chief disciple. You can plainly see it was copied for Simon Peter. For those who don’t under this, these terms are all used to describe the Buddha’s chief disciple. The Rock, Barjonas/Barpetras. Just like Simon Peter. This is straight from some of the oldest Buddhist scriptures. It existed centuries before Christianity. I have never seen this refuted. Always just brushed under the rug.

"Christianity is true" is being said in a Jungian sense; i.e. that the moral and ethical doctrines are psychologically sensible and fulfilling to most human minds because they correctly align with and build upon the shape-language of human thinking.

hmm interesting. I agree with the moral and ethical grounding that comes from following the teachings of the Bible. I just cant get over the lack of a belief in God. I mean doesn't that mean he could just change religious hats? Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, Christianity, and (arguably) Islam all seem to inform one another in moral and ethical lessons so does he (or could he) consider himself all those as well? My confusion is in the label and the relativeness, I suppose. It's a half-in, half-out position that sounds ill-equipped for someone to have a serious faith in a religious doctrine.

I don't see a reason to automatically assume Peterson is playing Pascal's wager just because he does not formally and publicly speak on his personal beliefs. There's the management of his public persona to consider and you can't pretend he hasn't been widely interrogated and attacked over every little topic he speaks on, usually with no regard for his actual ideas or words.
But also it seems to me that Peterson is not a cultural or theological relativist. The basis for his adoption of Christian moral and ethical doctrines is because Christian morality and ethics measures up extremely favorably to the other religions of the world and has produced a historically superior society. And anyways he certainly knows of Jung's warnings against participation mystique so he's not going to larp as some new-age Buddhist; doing so would all but amount to retreating into childlike delusion.

Christianity and Islam are slave mentality religions, where you must obey the commandments, and you yourself are not given power: God is.

Because no serious intellectual (love him or hate him, Peterson is not stupid and well-read at least) can believe Christian dogma in a literal sense. Yet the Catholic Church insists on the literal truth of its dogmas as a matter of faith. Schopenhauer talked about this ironically, centuries before Peterson, how religion is true in a metaphorical sense, but not in a literal sense. But since the common people are stupid, they need their literal absurdities as their low IQ herdbrains can't comprehend truth "in abstracto", only "in concreto" (literally). Religion is then simply "popular metaphysics" similarly to how popular poetry, culture, etc., exist. Dumbed down for the masses.

Peterson's personal problem in this matter is that he is trying to be a mainstream pundit with broad appeal therefore he has to acquiesce to the stupid mob, therefore he has to say Christian dogma is literally true (for example, the realis presentiae) except he's actually intellectually honest enough to not really do so, so he's in this twilight zone where he praises Christianity yet avoids being harshly questioned on it.

I feel like people should read some Schopenhauer on religion, it would clarify a lot.

We are called to witness to Jesus explicitly. There can be no furtiveness or abstraction or fence sitting. By all means, be wise about it. But you do have to actually acknowledge Jesus as the saviour before others. And this is only right. What friend would avoid the topic of their friend for fear of offending others or of being misinterpreted?

He wrote his book based on Christianity or rather, teachings of the Old Testament, because that contains the building blocks of the moral code in which Western society was built on and he wrote the book very much for Westerners, and is himself, a Westerner.

The idea of mystical union with God as the goal of Christianity and the point of Christ isn't Roman Catholic. If anything, it's deeper in the Orthodox church, but it's also deep in Protestant mystics like Boehme too. You also see it in other traditions, in Rumi (Sufi Islam) for example.

Some formulations were indeed treated skeptically by the Latin Church, e.g. the investigation of Meister Eckhart.

Christ largely just serving as atonement for a sky father who sits outside the world, the main goal of religion being "do good things so as not to be punished, but since you can't be good enough, here is a sacrifice," is more Englightenment era theism, and loses something.

Of course, sacrifice is very much part of the story (see Hebrews), but I think it's mistake to assume that all of Saint Paul's language of "living in Christ," "Christ living in us," Christs language about "being one in him as he is one in the father," (Gospel of John), being "in God" Saint John, "living with the will of God," instead of our human will (Saint Peter), is simply metaphorical window dressing for "live the same sort of internal life you lived before Baptism, but just try to be better and know you have a gift of salvation."

"Faith without works," is dead (Saint James). That is, there should be a process if sanctification, and of glorification.

Christ, the divine and mysterious union of man and God, is to be "the first born of many sons and daughters, (Romans 8)." For those he predestined he foreknew, and those he foreknew he will call, and those he called "will be glorified." And how are we glorified as men? We are only glorified "in the fullness of God." (Ephesians).

But if we are, as Paul says, "glorified," then a paired down doctrine that ignores this, and only focuses on justification seems to be missing something quite important. Both are in Romans 8, the one is a route to the other, the sacrifice the bridge to union.

It's a terrible thing. The prosperity gospel too. People undergoing depression, anhedonia, etc. think they have lost grace. They turn outward yearning for fulfillment instead of inward. They try to climb "dominance hierarchies," with their "grindset mindset." But the "first shall be last," as it is written. It is good to give up the "riches" of sensuous experience if it is a "purgation for the dark night of the soul."

It's sad on many levels. People go to yoga classes, mindfulness classes, unaware that their own tradition has a great history of such "practical," religion. But practice is lost, belief raised to all virtue, a consequence Luther himself would abhor. Not that yoga isn't beneficial or Zen texts without their merits. I love Dogen. It's more sad that the whole rich history of praxis has become mere history.

Plus, I always thought Western contemplatives did a better job philosophizing on their experiences in some ways. But now the experiential element is exorcised from practical philosophy, and exorcised from all philosophy in a lesser extent (granted we still have phenomenology).

On that note, here are his 12 rules. The mark of the charlatan is not that the rules themselves are fundamentally unsound, but that they are bait for a trap of further fallacies that are not directly found within the rules. He surely is a man of details, and the devil is in those details. The way that he says that he will not be boxed in reminds me of Socrates boxing in Protagoras. The fault of Protagoras was not that let his position be defined, but the position that he allowed to be adhered to him. Peterson has chosen the slimy route of insisting on not having a position.

Who cares? Religions are outdated anyway and the future of spirituality lies in NDEs as they are real and prove that there is an afterlife and that we are eternal and will go to heaven unconditionally when we die. And while the Bible and the Qu'ran convinces few people who do not already believe, the book in pic related is known to convince even hardened skeptics that there is an afterlife.

And NDEs are actually solid proof of life after death, because anyone can have them if they come close to and survive death. And they are so extremely real to those who have them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U00ibBGZp7o

As this NDEr described their NDE:

>"Now, what heaven looks like? 'OMG' doesn't even describe how beautiful this place is. Heaven is, there are no words. I mean, I could sit here and just not say anything and just cry, and that would be what heaven looks like. There are mountains of beauty, there are things in this realm, you can't even describe how beautiful this place is. There are colors you can't even imagine, there are sounds you can't even create. There are beauties upon this world that you think are beautiful here. Amplify it over there times a billion. There are, it's incredibly beautiful, there's no words to describe how beautiful this place is, it's incredibly gorgeous."

And importantly, even dogmatic skeptics have this reaction, because the NDE convinces everyone:
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/mysteries-consciousness/202204/does-afterlife-obviously-exist

So anyone would be convinced if they had an NDE, we already know this, no one's skepticism is unique.

>muh brain chemistry

Neuroscientists are convinced by NDEs too. What do skeptics think they understand that neuroscientists do not?

>muh DMT causes it

Scientifically refuted already, and NDErs who have done DMT too say that the DMT experience, while alien and really cool and fun, was still underwhelming to the point of being a joke when compared to the NDE.

He is obviously Jewish by blood, but likely raised Christian, became an atheist, then reverted to Judaism-lite, in the re-reformed sense due to living in a scientific era, and then decided to target Christians and right-wing Aryans because that was the demographic he wanted to influence.

His very name references Jewish people and places, such as the Jordan River, and Peterson, being a son of Peter, who was a Jewish apostle of Jesus.

Whether or not this makes him bad is irrelevant, because that would be racist. What he is doing is clearly speaking Christian lines, but he himself is Jewish, which is the Old Testament + Talmud, with knowledge, but not belief, of the New Testament.

>Delusional rationalization/disorganized thinking:
There are facts about the world. For example, that media manipulates people, Jews work in media, and psychologists study the mind. However, what a delusional person does is take such facts and use them to confirm a specific narrative (this is known as being selectively coherent). The elements of the narrative aren't actually proven by the facts but the delusional person (or ideologue) confuses their truth with the truth of their narrative. For example: Peterson is a psychologist (fact), associates with Jews (fact), and works in media (fact); therefore he is a skilled manipulator and part of a conspiracy headed by Jews. (This is the delusional rationalization part). The facts don't prove the narrative yet if you look you'll notice they are what is carrying the weight of the argument being made by people who mentally adhere to the narrative--if you deny the narrative these ideologues will confuse this with denying the facts. (That's the disordered thinking part).

Basically, the dangerous thing about paranoid narratives is that they have the appearance of being logically consistent within themselves and noticing the sleight of hand that takes place between the facts and the narrative isn't always easy to do. However, it's quite easy to see why certain narratives are simply absurd (e.g. looking at the advanced teachings of a cult versus those they use to hook people in).

Peterson isn't the crescendo of a multi-millenia conspiracy headed by a cabal of Jews who want you to not have sex. You haven't figured it all out and you aren't interpreting 5D chess. What you are doing is building a selectively coherent narrative based on truisms and confusing that they necessarily connect to your version of reality.

Now you're equating criticism of Israel with "anti-Semitism". Why?
> It's that simple.
No it isn't. You haven't addressed the actual issue. You've skirted around it and can't remain consistent. You never addressed the fact that Peterson will passionately defend Israel all day long, it supposedly being a bastion of liberal-democracy, despite it in reality being a blood and soil ethnostate, which is the exact type of thing that you just said leads to "horrendous historical outcomes" (lol). What is happening in Palestine right now? or, following the logic you/Peterson use for the Jews, the Nazis were completely justified in their actions. Judaism was seen as an existential threat to Germany, as Palestine is seen as an existential threat to Israel. Why the inconsistency here?

And because Germans once tried to fight back against the supposed progress of history (now you're taking up a liberal/leftist historical narrative) no other White ethnicity are allowed to maintain their own identity? do you understand how absurd and anti-White that sounds?

So this position is untenable when you truly dig in to it. Peterson claims to only care about the truth but he won't confront these issues, he takes a lot of money from jews and is fundamentally liberal when it comes to race (at least in the West - for Israel he is vehemently ethnonationalistic!).

>> No.22639324

>>22639232
Exactly. Jews also think they are the only people allowed to preserve their heritage/identity. They undermine White identity at every chance they get, and say that preserving your own people causes genocide, but then if people apply these same standards to them, they call you evil (anti-semitic, nazi, etc.). It's hilarious to see centrists like Peterson using hardline ethnonat arguments to defend Israel, while also calling it a bastion of Western liberal-democracy. I've seen that asshole Dan Carlin, who says allowing fast-breeding Muslims into a Jewish democracy will eventually lead to the Jews not having a voice, therefor it's not a good thing (the exact argument the far right makes for White countries, except if you talk about it in that context you're an evil White supremacist)....the Jews are the most supremacist race probably ever, see the way their Rabbis call non-Jews cattle in the Talmud, saying the fingernail of a Jew is worth 1 million goyim (i.e., non-Jew cows), or how stealing from or killing the goyim isn't stealing or killing, etc..

>You haven't addressed the actual issue.
Stopped reading there because I did. Again, Jordan Peterson doesn't buy into your conspiracy theory about Jews. It's that simple, autist. I know you're an idiot so I'll tell you something non-autists intuitively know: people see the world in different ways. In Peterson's view anti-Semitism, of which, like it or not, your fascination is a signifier, is indicative of reactionary politics that tend to precede horrendous outcomes. He doesn't view Hitler as a hero to his people and he doesn't subscribe to the idea that Jews are responsible for all of society's ills. In his view you're unthinking reactionaries who reflexively target their vindictive angst and resentment toward a scapegoat. It's very lowly and ugly. In fact, I'll teach you something else; you want to know the real reason it's hard to criticise Jews/Israel?

What's more to say? Peterson views anti-semitism as reflective of reactionary extremism. For him it's in the same boat as the identitarians on the left. Criticizing Jews/Israel isn't a priority, he wasn't champing at the bit for the opportunity presented by the current war like most of the people who express anti-Semitic beliefs on this website, and he likely sees Hamas as terrorists like plenty of reasonable people.

I watched a couple of his Exodus roundtables and something noticable that came up was the Jewish value of retribution over forgiveness (i.e when discussing the plagues on Egypt and the hardening of Pharoah's heart). I also saw a documentary a while ago that outlined how such informs the JDF's actions toward Hamas/Palestinians whenever violence flares up. However, having a discussion about this is almost impossible when the loudest voices can me from a place of hatred and just want Jews eradicated off the face of the earth

No one wants you eradicated, we all just want you to have your own country that isn't stolen from someone else and fucking stay there. Half the world is sick of you after thousands of years of you being obnoxious smug pieces of shit calling them cattle and running most perverse industries (porn and smut, alcohol and drugs, usury) in their countries, the other half hasn't had much experience of you but takes one look at the historical record and concludes you are scum.

Jews are exactly like gypsies, they are so arrogant that they're incapable of self-reflection.

This term is rubbish. Say whatever you mean, but conflating Jews with Semites is absurd.
>he wasn't champing at the bit
He's literally on the Jewish payroll.
>he likely sees Hamas as terrorists like plenty of reasonable people
Is a Palestinian military action against Israeli civilians any more reprehensible than an Israeli military action against Palestinian civilians?
>the Jewish value of retribution over forgiveness
Why should they not get what they give to others?
>However, having a discussion about this is almost impossible when the loudest voices
No. It's by far the other way around.
>just want Jews eradicated off the face of the earth
Jews have a long history of genocide. If those genocides were justifiable, then why is a genocide against them equally justifiable? If the Jewish genocides were not justifiable, then why is action against them for their past genocides not acceptable? In short, what makes them a special case?

TY for clarifying my point. That was so obvious to me that it did not cross my mind that someone would make that extrapolation. Nowhere is it stated for individuals to not defend themselves, nor does that apply to state actors. The wheels of war turn too slowly to just say that something has already passed, and that therefore there should be no response.

Ashkenazis aren't even Jews. They don't fulfill their own criterion for Jewishness. Their maternal haplogroups do not go back to the Levant.
Historically speaking, the Mizrahi were all right. None of these problems of this magnitude existed until the Ashkenazi moved into the region, who now also try to brainwash Mizrahi into becoming psychopaths.
The first pro-National Socialist I ever met was a literal Persian Jew who blamed Ashkenazi for causing all of the problems in the Middle East. He called for their outright extermination.
You realize if it weren't for Ashkenazi, then Mizrahi and Palestinians would have been living side-by-side with little to no issue?
I do not know much about the Sephardi though, but Ashkenazi should be mocked, everywhere they are, for not even being Jewish. If being Jewish is about having unbroken matrilineal continuity to Ancient Jews, then they simply do not have it.

He's a Christian Atheist. He promotes a Christian ethos and acknowledges there is real practical and personal value in religion, but he does not actually believe in God as anything more than a fictional character that is suitable for narrative purposes. It's entirely psychological to him, he does not believe in the reality of God. So basically it's just a LARP to him, if a positive or beneficial LARP, but a LARP all the same.

I generally agree with most of this. One of my friends read a book on ''the name stealers''. There was a region where traders feared to tread because, not only might you be murdered, but your entire identity would be adopted by your murderer. I believe many ''Jews'' to be descended of murderers that stole identities from Jews. I heavily agree that conflation of terms destroys the conversation. That is why I do not like Jewishness being conflated with Semitism. On the point of the maternal line, that appears to only be a modern convention, and something that should break The Covenant. The line back to The Covenant was biblically paternal. Do you have any evidence to show when they flipped from one to the other and what their justification for doing so is? Any further clarification on conflated groups is also appreciated.
