'Do You Believe Jesus Died for Our Sins?’ Richard Dawkins Confronts Jordan Peterson
In this clip, Richard Dawkins questions Jordan Peterson about his belief in the truth claims of the Bible, specifically asking whether Jesus died for our sins. The conversation then shifts, with Jordan Peterson comparing the truth of Christianity to Richard’s insights on the human understanding of non intuitive quantum physics, referencing a recent Piers Morgan interview. Peterson also touches on Dawkins’ viral proclamation of being a ‘cultural Christian’ and what it means. The discussion then delves into the role of Christianity in human progress and the nature of truth that it might (or might not) represent. The discussion was moderated by Alex J. O’Connor.
I honestly don't think it's worth engaging with Peterson. The signal to noise ratio is the worst.
Too bad Peterson won't just preface his comments by saying, "On a metaphorical level," or "In the Platonic realm." It would save everyone a lot of time and trouble. But then again, not everyone values clarity and brevity.
