The Greatest God Debate In History | Jordan Peterson vs Matt Dillahunty 

300+ of Jesus’s predictions (2000yrs ago) came true in the last 100yrs . Proof of Noah’s flood is all across the Usa like pyramids under rock lake Wisconsin, aztalan mostly buried pyramid , 120 mounds in Illinois (below grade pyramids). 6000yr old instructions about hepatitis “sleeping with whoreish women will pierce your liver like a dart”. Still true today (specific to the organ). Does this guy think he’s smarter than the Bible?? Bronze chariot wheels from Moses crossing, found at the bottom of the sea, contain copper that could only have been mined from the Michigan U.P. ,,,,

Very witty and well written! Love it!

This deserves a lot more likes!

This has more applied intellect poured into it than anything Peterson has ever said tbh

Like most things Peterson says I tune out pretty early into the rambling bs while I wait for him to get to a point. But unlike him, I absolutely enjoyed your comment.

what a quantum entangled photosynthetic response

Dads are a thing aren't they- its amazing how many dads moms, aunts uncles , bus drivers walkers and cyclists- i gotta stop somewhere lol, Do this every day of every month somewhere, in fact in countries of tens of millions- hundreds of thousands stop every Year, Me ? Oh I'm an Ex - smoker- and someones dad. Am I Amazing, NO- Im just a Stubborn Brit.

he still had a point because just "thugging it out" and quitting cold turkey is not a demonstrably consistent method of quitting. willpower is a very transient thing and not everyone has the same amount of it to begin with

Its will power. He admitted to himself that is was not good for his health or the kids. God can take that and show him greater things.

God exist. God cannot be proven or said he doesn't exist. Were we there when God created ? The answer is no. So the real challenge is how do we prove or disprove God who has already existed. Would there be evidence ? Yes. Just look at all that has been created and how much time we spend on trying to figure out how it all works.

It’s the Holy Spirit that helped with that cause how else do you explain the epiphany

It is recent it’s only 2 years ag… oh wait 6 years 😭

I also thought it was recent, but a closer look at Dr. Peterson's dressing and hair, I thought otherwise.

Time doesn't matter since we don't abrogate in whole religion.

@@KazbekMairbekTrue, but I believe Peterson's views may have slightly shifted since this talk, hence why context of time may be appropriate.

Only the atheist believes it was recent. Because that’s all you got. No science backs your ignorant bullshit.

He could just be just one of the thousands of charlatans claiming to be prophet around those time period. Even Shrek has more consistency in its story than any religion you can name.

One speaking abstractly and one speaking concretely. I think you missed his point

@@nicholasullery5129 Petersons abstractions have a pattern. It is the willful obfuscation between god as a reality and god as a metaphor. He wont even answer the most basic questions in a clear enough way to talk about them in any meaningful way. If he were stupid I would assume it was incidental. But hes a master of language. This is intentional, in line with a clear financial incentive to not distance the two sides of his audience. Hes to vague to be called right or wrong. So hes wrong.

One always supposes the proposition of “win” implies the defeat or unremarkable characteristics of something in comparison. But upon what criteria is the winner chosen?

I don't know how people are not insulted by this tactic. Peterson appears to believe that he can spray out a mist of polysyllabic words and people will think he's answered their question.

WHAT IS HE MEANING OF LIFE? To have a relationship with God on earth so you can spend eternity together in Heaven. So, what pushes me away from God? Sin (lying, unforgiveness, sexual sins from lust, dishonouring parents, steeling, taking the Lord’s Name in vain etc) which leads to hell. But Jesus died on the Cross and rose from the dead to give you the ability to repent and Believe in Him as your Lord and Saviour to go to Heaven. Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Fiddlesticks. Any god who would hold these things again me can kiss my proverbial ass.

That’s where Peterson lives

@@valley5617 And honestly it’s funny when you see Peterson try to employ tricks of linguistics and changing of definitions in order to hide the fact that he doesn’t have a solid an evidence-based argument. It’s also humorous when he tries to be philosophical, and he just face plants so hard his teeth burst out his ears. His ramblings about metaphysical substrate were hilarious. He doesn’t even make an attempt to define what he means by metaphysical substrate because we know from his past interviews that he has a different understanding of certain definitions and even scientific concepts and even history. It’s hilarious watching him ramble on and on making things up as he goes along and people sit there slack-jawed and clap like seals acting like he’s some kind of titan of intellect.

@@Flornmonk For a society to function there must be rules. For instance, if there were no road rules there would be utter chaos on the roads, accidents and death would be the norm. If there were no laws society would collapse as there would be way too much suffering and death.

Gain an upper hand by Repenting and Believing in Jesus today.

All Humans need to repent & Believe in Jesus as their God. Why? Because all Humans have sinned (lied, lusted sexually, stolen, dishonoured parents, unbelief etc). Avoid the fires of Hell (justice of God) and choose Heaven today. Jesus defeated death by rising from the dead. GOD IS HOLY

@@linuxramblingproductions8554 WHY DOESN’T GOD STOP EVIL ? Suppose God were to get involved every time something bad were to happen. God can prevent fatal car accidents, child molestation, grape, murder etc This sounds good on the surface but lets dig in a little deeper. God is the epitome of holiness so He would prevent you from fornicating (premarital sex), lusting (watching pornography), swearing or taking His Holy Name in vain (so God would control your speech) , even eating certain foods or drinks (because God considers it to be junk food and it is destroying your health), hating someone ( so God would control your thoughts). You have essentially been reduced to a robot (following instructions only). But the reality is, you were created as a free creature with the ability to choose right from wrong (freewill), the ability to stop doing sin (Repentance) and to Believe in Jesus (Faith).

My experience exactly. Peterson is a self deluded fool. If it's in a book he believes it.

@@MichaelAronson Mike, why would you check in just to say something antagonistic and obnoxious? Are you ok there buddy?

Not so easy to follow. Which by the way, is yet another downfall of Western society since it turned its back on God, which I dealt with in another comment you responded to.

They actually enhanced the audio, check the description.

@@Observette The noise gate is the thing that blocks out small sounds and lets in loud sounds... Like if you want to remove audio information below a certain amplitude - (like sneezes or coughs in the crowd) you can use a noise gate I think what they mean is that the attack and release of the noise gate is quite sharp and noticeable. Fixing the audio later wont change that. Although they could have "enhanced the audio" by applying a noise-gate... in which case nevermind!

@@ObservetteAt most they take the original audio and boost/lower it. They can also apply a noise gate which means sounds below a certain level get cut out usually to stop background audio that they don’t want you to hear. Now it is possible the noise gate was awful in the original video meaning they can’t really fix that without some meticulous audio editing but regardless it doesn’t change the criticism that the noise gate is atrocious regardless of if it’s to blame on the source video or the edited reupload.

It actually is lol

Yep. I noticed that too.

People often say, “I’m not hurting anyone so it’s ok to sin (lying, stealing, sexual sins, disrespecting parents etc)” The same God who said to love your neighbour first said to love Him to the best of your ability. If you carry on sinning, then you do not love God but are selfish like the devil so you will be joined to your father in hell or repent of your sins and believe in Jesus as God so Jesus adopts you as His child and you will join Him in Heaven forever.

@thereisnonegoodbutgodjohn363 I don't know what people you're talking to, but I don't know anyone who thinks lying and stealing are "ok." In some cases, I'd argue that it is good to lie and steal. The world isn't all black and white like religion paints it. Disrespecting your parents isn't a serious offense. All kids disobey their parents. It's even a good thing if the parent is a narcissistic abuser. Leviticus 20 9 For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death; he has cursed his father or his mother; his blood is upon him. The God of the Bible is a monster who I do not want to be with for eternity. Fortunately, I don't believe in sin, the devil, God, or any other fairytale, so I don't have anything to be afraid of. I do what feels right in my heart with love and compassion. That is enough.

@@nathanmaxey2966 Obviously there are exceptions tothe rule, alady in the Bible hid 2 men and lied about hiding them, she saved their life , if your parents tell you to jump off a brdgge then you dont listen to them but when is the last time you were in such a situation? People have bad hearts when people do what is right in their own mind we get corruption because humans need to be born again through Jesus Christ

@@nathanmaxey2966 God through the Holy Spirit has shown me several things relating to the afterlife with the purpose of convincing people like yourself. Stuff like Heaven and Hell, Angels, and evil Spirits the Lord Jesus (not worthy at all), a miracle happened to me that saved my life (thank you God) & so much more. I am more than happy to give further details.

@@nathanmaxey2966 I think I can explain the disconnect here. When JP, and others who think like him use the word "God" it as a job description, a position in someones life. It is this central tenant, set of principles, experience, person (such as empearor worship in imperial Japan or N. Korea), or even a literal physical object with some more primitive societies. So isn't this just changing definitions? No, Matt and other atheists confuse these two, they are so immersed in christianity that they do not understand the difference. They believe that if you can show that Yaweh, the abrahamic God isn't real, or that he is evil, or that there is no evidence for him that people would act in a more rational and moral manner. What you call morality is just abrahamic ethics. You all are so immerssed in this view that you believe debating whether or not Yahew is real matters at all. You think it matters because you just can't conceive of other gods, and there have been many many gods there for humanity. "But those are fairy tales, like Odin and Zeus aren't real", yes but emperor Hirohito was real, we have photographs to prove it, and he was a god. The Japanese knew that he wasn't omnipotent and could fend off the allies in WW2, they also knew he wasn't a universal god, yet he was still their god. The rivers are real, I've been in some to I'm convinced of that, and they are gods to many. Money is real (sorta), I have some in the bank, and it is a lot of people's god. A painter chooses their art to be their god. Art has been many people's god; many painter's basically live lives of poverty while they dedicate their time to their art god. A narcisist has themselves as their own god, they probably don't think about if their god is real either. You can be killed for these real tangible provable gods. And many many people have died and killed for them. With this in mind, does asking whether Yaweh is real or not matter? To me it makes it seem like a big waste of time. No one can prove anything about things outside of perceivable reality. The better question asking what should be our god? Maybe we should also ask if we should have one or multiple gods, which I beleive JP has discussed before. JP is asking the latter questions because he understands this. Matt is focused on the first because he can't see the lineup of candidates out there waiting to assume the position of god. He thinks if we throw out Yahew because he isn't real then that's it! We are done! No more god!!! But this is false. To you Yaweh might be a monster, and you are glad he isn't real I assume. But there are many monstrous things out there that can become god too, and they are very very real. Trying to prove Kim Jung Un is fake won't get you anywhere with a north korean. You have prove he should not be their god. This is why JP just tells atheists they do have a god, and it is Yahew. Yahew is occupying the position of god to a western atheist, they just don't believe he is real, and they think he is an evil asshole. Yaweh is so firm in that position that the western atheist just can't see anything else being god.

In heaven no unclean person is allowed in, you are unclean if you have sinned just once like lying, stealing, sexual immorality, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, evil thoughts etc Jesus (God manifest in the flesh) can put his sinless righteousness on you since He died on the cross, rose from the dead so REPENT AND BELIEVE IN HIM TODAY.

It turns out that if your fake god (Yahweh - יהוה) is resting, then he is replaced by another of the same fake god, and he is also resting... And so on ad infinitum, this is repeated.

One of my biggest issues with JP whenever I was interested in his lectures was that he really just ignored everything outside of his care, even though it would have been perfectly relevant and substantive to his philosophies. He’s very willfully ignorant.

What’s your point?

Peterson would probably say that it's because of the Gods that they had being an approach to the devine that exists. All of our social fabric existing is based on that and even 10000 years ago when tribes began evolving at a higher rate, it was due to moral standards based on solidarity, which is based on an approach to find God or to communicate what God is and all of that makes sense because of our modern understanding of God xD This is what this clown would probably say because he went in that direction xD

Are you not confusing science with engineering?

You have to understand the context of that question in relation to the metaphorical substrate of critical analysis. 😅

Not really. A debate is a much different format than a test. Much of what goes into a good debate includes defining of terms and clarifications for the people of participating in the debate and for the audience. Yeah, this can be a bit tedious, but it's essential for a quality conversation like this, especially when the two people debating are coming from very different perspectives and trying to find some common ground to work from.

He's insufferable. He just just likes to hear himself talk. He rambles and panders to the point of boredom. I think he blacks out when he talks, and only comes to when he's run out of words and/or forgets what he's even talking about.

He's using it as a rhetoric device to make fun of how Peterson makes an absolutely unreasonable argument by shifting the goalpost. He changed the definition of what an atheist is by saying that through our morals we all unconsciously believe in God or something like that. It's like a kid that says "No, you" to a certain extent. Imagine you tell someone you don't believe in God and he says "Yes, you do because you believe killing people is bad". You could also use a YuGi Oh reference, saying that the mirrored his ass. There's sarcasm involved. From Peterson's perspective he believes to understand something deeper about the concept of God, but to anyone, who can somewhat think critically, he's asspulling stuff in a fashion of a uno reverse card, in an outrageous way, which makes me laugh xD

@@waldemarkirszniok298 Perspective conditions perception to certain degree, that's a fairly acceptable statement, there can be no objective perspective and therefore all perception goes through a skewed prism which is perspective.

I too really opened my eyes at that part, because computers are my background, too -- educationally and professionally. He's flat-out wrong -- but what it does show you is that Peterson is happy to talk authoritatively about topics he has no knowledge about. Quite embarrassingly, actually, in this case.

I thought this. ML really just a way of capturing rules mathematically that are too complicated for us to linguistically (verbally or in code) express. Though neither of them seem to appreciate this, I think there may actually be a good analogy here with what Peterson was saying about brain hemispheres. The linguistic left hemisphere maybe is more like a standard piece of code with simple verbally expressed rules. If Sam angers me then don't throw him off the stage except if there's a fire. Not sure we humans really act much along these lines. Then the extra-linguistic right hemisphere maybe is more like ML that is trained by exposure to the world, its culture, narratives, art, symbols, etc. When we feel in our gut that we shouldn't throw Sam off the stage, there's surely some learned rules at play there that are a lot more complex, but it's really just the "sum" of our input/experience. Maybe one day with a brain scan, we could extract this learning as a table of numbers. If anyone can connect any of this thought splurge back to whether Peterson believes in God or not, please go ahead. I still don't know what he means by God.

He needs to stay in his lane.

😂😂😂 that's what you took from the whole discussion

I am happy to see someone else point this out. For a while I was dabbling with A.I. before I set my interest on Game Development. I had read many, many things on A.I. development with most of its categories. As far as I know, every single program of any kind needs to be rule based because without rules, a computer simply doesn’t know what to do or how to do things. Hearing JP say his thoughts opened my eyes to just how phony he really is. He speaks on things he knows nothing about with great authority quite often.

Those aren't the behaviors of an intellectual who wants to have an honest conversation in the pursuit of truth and mutual understanding. They are tactics of someone who just wants to win a discussion and sound superior by using word salad. Something JP lives on and his fans eat up.

What is abstract about murder?

JP claim wasn't "you're not really an atheist or you'd be a murderer" his claim was "if you really were an atheist, you have no good reason not to have moral relativism and murder someone if the circumstances are optimal, as happens in the book", the character had all the good reasons and even then hi fail not exactly the same.

Explain it better then, so we can all understand. How does that example in a novel make Matt not an atheist?

His claim boils down to affirming Matt is not really an atheist because of his morals. But if you really think about it, this cannot be more wrong. 1. If you believe there is a god, you can do anything and everything and then just pray for forgiveness, since the lord is so all-mighty and powerful. If you did not have the cushion of a promised eternal life, you'd value the life as you know it, since you know your time is limited. Pretty sure you wouldnt want to spend that time in jail. 2. Morals dont come from the bible or any other religious books. Men wrote these, so humans wrote these values and morals based on their own humanity at the time, hence why slavery is condoned and supported in the bible. This was an acceptable practice back then. 3. You can get morals from literally everywhere else, watching movies, reading stories, even interacting with people. Claiming that we can only get morals from the bible is undermining our own desire to create a better place. 4. If you are christian, and if you are a good person SOLELY on the basis of fear of divine punishment, then are you really moral? Sorry for the essay lmao.

@@DanielRodriguez-zj5il Haha I agree. I always find it funny when people think that without God you can't be a good person. Like what? Are you projecting? If anything, I'm a good person because I want to be, not because of any ulterior motive like pleasing God, receiving blessing, or the fear of hell.

I don't know man, seemed like there were a lot of disconnect the last time I watched this. JP was explaining things through his symbolic views and Matt didn't get it so it didn't really get anywhere aside from surface level.

@@eanieilias9739 that's not what happened at all. JP spewed a lot of meaningless gibberish, useful to confuse pseudo-intellectuals, and MD called him out on it.

Man JP is an idiot. I can't have a discussion on the merits of generally excerpted principles, because then I wouldn't get to say I have a PHD. Like yes or no, do you think it's better to be a millionaire asshole only respected by tools, or just be a moderately reasonable human being... We all know how JP answers, "let's define a millionaire, like are we talking specifically from 1 million up to $999,999,999, cause until you give me an exact number that I agree upon is a millionaire..."

If you throw the Deity off the stage all that remains is the word GOD.

​@@NMSUNSETGOURMETYou can't throw deities. They don't exist.

@@MichaelAronson Not throwing imagined Deities. Throwing the things that we subjectively define off the stage to see what can be objectively defined, by what we can measure with truth. When I say the word GOD exists, its meant in an absolute way, as it needs to exist for you to see it included in the sentence. The only thing left to measure when we accept the Deity sacrifice from the word GOD is the word GOD. When we choose to use it, we can see it. If we can see it, we can choose to give the picture that the word uses to build its objective property. To give the word requires we draw it, simple truth. Rather than place the imagined pillar of spaghetti, having no objective truth. That's why I've given the word GOD the definition that's seen without the Deity, for a division of time. The argument of subjective things is division, not Holy measured. The Sacrifice of the Deity value from GOD exchanges the subjective for the objective property. That being a claim requires I demonstrate that objective truth with GOD as a measure. So here it is again: Kneel to trace picture children. G is an incomplete whole with one square angle drawn in Earth. O is a whole measure. D is a split whole with two square angles drawn in Earth. Sacrificed, Holy measured. That is the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help me GOD.

@@NickBollingerMusic I always saw people using too late so I just use it like that, and that wasn't a jab at you, it was supposed to be funny

Lol that phrase alone really gives up the whole game

He said "metaphysical substrate", he was trying to get to the heart of Matt's axioms, because Matt was making self evident claims that were not self evident in a philosophical sense. A great example is his first claim, that death is preferable over life, this is not self evident. Think of samurai code or Aztec and Mayan sacrifice....the claim that death is preferable over life is not a universal self-evident axiom to build any moral architecture on....Matt is happily playing 2d checkers while Jordan is wrestling with a 4 dimensional chess board. It's not an easy thing.

@@jonathanmunyi5549 It is self-evident to prefer life over death because we are all born with the instinct to survive. The objective is to avoid death. If you posit that death is preferable to life, then there is no life in question. It's not a matter of implicit "value". I do not wish to live because I think I have some divinely imposed value upon me, I do so because I was born and living creatures have an impulse to survive and thrive as much as possible to continue reproducing and keep the cycle going, so to speak. Furthermore, you are flat out agreeing with Matt in your final statement. To quote you: "the claim that death is preferable over life is not a universal self-evident axiom to build any moral architecture on" - Yeah, this is exactly what Matt said. Nowhere in this debate did Matt say "death is preferable over life" was a self-evident universal axiom. He advocated the opposite. If what you mean is that it is not self-evidence to universally rule out this axiom, then please refer to the beginning of my comment.

@@williamhorn363 Thanks for your reply. What I was saying is that it is not a universally self evident truth that life is better than death, and since you agree with me that this is not a universal self-evident truth then all reasoning from this as a principle is shaky. Something cannot be true most of the times or true yet untrue in the same sense. Matt saying we can create a self-improving morality, by simply defining rules for life and the goal of life, is not as trivial as he would lead the audience to believe. The great thing about the physical world is how well designed it is, infinite forms of being can be expressed based on finite laws. In metaphysics, philosophers try and reason out or discover the finite laws on which we can base everything including being, knowing, beauty, goodness etc. Matt suggests that we can swap out our axioms on the fly as our knowledge of things improve and that is never going to work because everything else that has been reasoned from a faulty axiom will be trash as well. So we constantly have to start from scratch every time we discover a faulty axiom.

@@jonathanmunyi5549 I appreciate your response as well. With all due respect, I disagree with all of these points. I'll try to address all my counterpoints: "since you agree with me that this is not a universal self-evident truth then all reasoning from this as a principle is shaky" I agree that the axiom is "shaky", but that does not follow that the principle is faulty. The purpose of this foundation of logic is to filter out the axioms from which no constructive progress is made toward a thriving society. The fact that we can agree that this is a dud axiom, is proving the efficacy of the principle. We can now throw it away and start from a stronger premise. "Matt is saying we can create a self-improving morality, by simply defining rules for life and the goal of life, is not as trivial as he would lead the audience to believe" I agree. This is not a trivial task, but it is one that is worth the effort. As such, it should be adaptable, otherwise we would still be living the barbaric lifestyle of our ancestors. "Matt suggests that we can swap out our axioms on the fly as our knowledge of things improve and that is never going to work because everything else that has been reasoned from a faulty axiom will be trash as well" Firstly, that depends on the intensity of the change you're making to the axiom. If you start from "stabbing people is bad" and you realize this isn't specific enough, so you generalize it to "killing people is bad", then some (if not all) moral reasoning derived from the initial axiom still remains a subset of the new axiom. As time goes on, the adjustments you make to your initial axiom(s) should get asymptotically smaller. Secondly, if a new axiom should take the place of the old one and it completely uproots the moral foundation of a society - trashing everything it once knew - why is this a bad thing? Would it be a slow and controversial transition? Sure. But a bad one at that? Of course not. If tomorrow we find a solution to free infinite energy, that would surely change the world and cause all sorts of controversy and uproar, but ultimately it would push us as a society much further along. We have seen this time and time again throughout history, both technologically and ethically speaking. This truth emerges from nature, not from humans.

I think the public and their reactions add to the funny part of it and it will be easier for many people to listen to that simply because of that. And they were interacting with the public. I think it might be good

@@FilDoyon I agree with almost everything you said, but I feel that it amplified the argumentative state of this debate. What seemed like pretty standard answers from Jordan changed into more aggressive sounding statements because of the crowds misplaced laughs and reactions. I don't think he was trying to be that way much of the time but the crowds perception and reaction made it seem like his responses were more argumentative than he intended and it changed the dynamic of the conversation. I agree with the benefits you stated though.

@@GuitarDiddlerJP15 fair enough. I think you're right. But what I'm not sure about is the fact that it is wrong. Indeed, it might have changed a little bit the perception of Jordan's arguments, but when you know Jordan, you know that it was not his intention, like you've said, and if you don't know him, even if it might have sounded a bit more aggressive than the reality, Jordan's reactions to Matt answers throughout that part of the debate was so funny that I don't think it will depict him as someone's interrupting or being too much aggressive. "I might be wrong, but I don't think so" 😋🤣 hahaha

100%, and the ones that say no are the ones whoe will be laughing and clapping with every dull statement. Sorry.

God is the epitome of Holiness because He is sinlessly perfect, A sinner (liar, sexually immoral, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, thief etc) cannot be in the presence of God or else he will be utterly consumed therefore repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Saviour to go to Heaven.

Jordan Peterson is an evasive blowhard and he knows it. I have to give home credit though… I’ve seen him be asked about his personal relationship to faith/religion/god dozens and dozens of times and every time without fail, he manages to give a completely new 2 thousand word nonsensical freshman psychology student lit on high concentrate THC dabs kind of answer. It’s truly a unique and covetous talent he’s developed. And his simpleton fans who just want a daddy that will send them to their room because they’ve been bad, buy it hook line and sinker.

Very original comment.

The issue at hand is sin and God’s nature of being just. Sin brings suffering (the pleasure is short term, and the suffering is long term-on earth and in hell forever). God brings Righteousness (may have short term suffering followed by long term pleasure- on earth and in Heaven). If you love yourself repent of your sins (lying, hatred, unforgiveness, sexual sins, taking the Lord’s Name in vain, stealing, dishonouring your parents etc) & believe in Jesus for forgiveness of sins. (Jesus died on the Cross as a sacrifice and defeated death by rising from the dead)

​@@MichaelAronsonthe irony! 😅

Yeah Jordan Peterson honestly seems like he was full of crap but he knows he's gained a lot of Christian followers so he wants to sound smart and not go against what I think his intellect nose is true about the lack of evidence for a god. It's almost kind of annoying because you see him pause and then just start saying a bunch of weird words in a row as if they are valid. He's very opening thing saying that it's not taken serious biologically intellectually all this stuff what is he talking about? It's not taken serious the fact of considering if there's a God that's the stupidest opening line ever of course it's taken serious it's taken way more serious by atheist than this by any religious

The man was perfectly coherent to me. Although I’m the type of person that learns new words for fun. I’ll summarize what I heard in simple terms: 1. The concept of God seems to be a result of biological and cultural development. It developed as a necessary means for our ability to communicate and to move beyond pragmatism. 2. Matt’s view is simple pragmatism on the back of the work that faith has constructed. Pragmatism does not give you the power to dream and to enter into danger, chaos, or the unknown. There is no good reason to do so unless forced by a greater foundational narrative. 3. Values are shaped in our intuition to believe in God and purpose. It is the majority of people’s innate operating systems. It explains why we should value ourselves and others. 4. Without God we can only have facts and opinions but not truth. Truth is necessary for the formation of society. 5. The functional benefit of God and its universal metaphysical power can serve as a type of evidence for its reality. For example…we conceive of circles so much so that we intuitively make use of them. To argue about if they are a thing in reality is silly. We conceive them therefore the question is irrelevant. 6. Atheism have no unifying narrative to challenge the evil that seems to be innate in all of us. At best it can give us pragmatism but not moral duties…this seems to him to be possible evidence that we know God is real in some sort. Those were a few of his points. There were a lot more. Matt was arguing that you can’t prove God exist beyond the shadow of doubt to call it objective truth. But Jordan seemed to be arguing that is irrelevant because you can’t live functionally without the concept. Matt was getting angry when Jordan was trying to highlight that when he presented his working system for human wellbeing. I tend to agree with Jordan. Matt himself acknowledged that the work of thinking through a grounded functional worldview and value system…most would never do it. They will default to superstition or being told what to believe. That system needs to create empathy and creativity and boldness while restraining human “evil” in a potent way. That’s what religion does…atheism does not have the capacity to do that. We all know you can’t prove God in any absolute sense. But most people aren’t interested establishing anything in an absolute sense because most things we assume can’t be proven…for the theists and atheists alike.

Secular morality is laughable even from your own standpoint. Might want to think that through before you start regurgitating bullshit from people who claim to hate god lol.

It's a nice little offense masked as an argument@@griffinturner5046. Or is this how you try to defend JP?

@@griffinturner5046 I didn't make one statement about MY thoughts on secular morality in my comment. You sound just like Peterson, making judgement calls on things no one ever said. Lol. Get a grip.

@@TommyTombstone no, most religious debates become linguistic not because of depth, but because of lack of any sort of evidence other than the interpretation of words written in a fiction novel.

@@Vplaytg Got it, so you're not intellectually sophisticated enough to nail down the definitions of words, so instead you resort to poking fun and talking shit because it's easier than addressing the arguments.

@@shabbaranks7968 Matt might be logical but definitely not stoic. He has pretty poor emotional regulation and loses his patience often. EDIT: agree with your opinion of Peterson though, that man speaks like a cult leader. His followers worship him like some Christ figure, it's really bizarre. Peterson is just a grifter monetizing outrage.

That could easily be an inference. As we go on, it may then lead us to ask what really is defined as supernatural. For instance, assuming 'ghosts' of dead people really do exist in this plane: if we become able to observe 'ghosts' with a technological tool, would we then call them natural entities? So, my question on this is that: the moment a normally 'supernatural' phenomenon tries to prove 'itself' to us by becoming subject to our 'natural' sense organs, what would stop us from rebranding them as natural? We may have to agree on what qualifies as 'supernatural', I think. That may then help us define the acceptable evidence to demand of religionists or proponents for the supernatural.

​@@krystophyryour ghost example is a very good one 👏

I think JP was saying people have said similar things about supernatural experiences while on psychedelics.

This argument sounded surprisingly unintelligent to me. Our brains share the same fundamental structure. We know enough about this structure to understand that you can do X to this region of the brain and expect to affect Y. Everything that you are or can experience happens in those three pounds in your head. It doesn't seem like a stretch to first explore how the chemical changes the brain's function and if activity in that region or system could explain why we experience the things we do when we take different drugs. I don't understand the leap from, "You think you're seeing God, and you might taste the color purple and see sound." to "If you do see God, though, that's real." "That's kinda like evidence, ya know." Uh, no. I don't know, Jordan. Seems pretty shoddy to me.

@@krystophyr I guess JP is trying to approach it like a doctor that, look, here's a medicine that provides cure to the "insert issue here", so that itself shouldn't be overlooked as a possible source of evidence..for supernatural.. this way of thought doesn't really sit with me, but anyway.. wanted to say, I like your take on supernatural vs natural here. Reminds me of the argument of what is natural and what is artificial.. it's like, say, mollusks building a shell around their body, that is a natural phenomena, but humans building skyscrapers is an artificial one, almost suggesting that how we humans think and act is not just another voice of nature. Makes me think, these problems appear to be mostly based in the language we use instead of the reality itself

People often say, “I’m not hurting anyone so it’s ok to sin (lying, stealing, sexual sins, disrespecting parents etc)” The same God who said to love your neighbour first said to love Him to the best of your ability. If you carry on sinning, then you do not love God but are selfish like the devil so you will be joined to your father in hell or repent of your sins and believe in Jesus as God so Jesus adopts you as His child and you will join Him in Heaven forever.

There was no debate here whatsoever. JBP simply does not allow for it.

This is a debate, its just, we are accostumed to what politics do in debates

@@brandondill5640 but Peterson doesn’t really know how to debate. I’ve watched him in the past and I’ve watched him on interviews. He has these tired rhetorical tricks that he employs where he makes sweeping generalizations, bold claims and doesn’t present any evidence to support his arguments. He rambles with a lot of academic jargon and talks and talks in order to avoid being pressed to provide proof. He also engages in a lot of epistemological games in order to further muddy the waters and confuse his opponent. And he also does this so that he can do that little giggle of his and say “I didn’t say that.” The joke being here that he doesn’t really ever say much of anything of relevance or validity. Also Peterson seems to take every form of interaction as some form of competition that he must dominate. Dillahunty is treating it as this is, a conversation. Peterson is walking up as if this is a fight to be won. His smug “Ready to go?” when Matt welcomes him onstage was a clear giveaway.

Good luck!

yeah because he knows if he looks like a fucking moron like he normally does on a big scale with a much larger name in Jordan Peterson, that he will lose all of the little respect he has in the debate community. I'm actually shocked that Peterson even chose to do this debate and it's very satisfying to watch Matt get his little sneaky roundabout smokescreens cleared and pressed through like he did at 40:45. Fucking poetry in motion watching the self-proclaimed "debater" get pie faced in front of the peanut gallery who kept falling for his cheap tricks.

He’s going against another well educated person whom he has some level of respect towards

Yeah, it wasn't about him behaving well for the debate. Peterson may be wrong in his viewpoint, but he presents at least somewhat reasonable arguments relative to what Matt usually has to contend with. He just doesn't have patience for outright stupidity.

They disagree but Matt has respect for Peterson. I think he believes where Peterson is coming from is a good, educated, honest place. It's in good faith is what I'm trying to say I guess lol
