“Jordan Peterson, if you don’t know him, he doesn’t know himself. So it’s not a big deal. I mean if you ask him, who are you, he’ll tell you what is who, what is are, what is you …” This may be more truth than poetry. Ever since Jordan Bernt Peterson came out of his near death experience with Benzodiazepines, he gets more and more Bidenesque every day.
I had been avoiding the video where JBP sits down with “20 atheists.” I am beyond tired of JBP, and the semantics of the God issue make me want to puke. That was before I saw this x-crete. I got “sucked into” this matter, and might as well get a blog post out of it.
It takes a bit of digging to find the original post. The title on youtube is Jordan Peterson vs 20 Atheists. When I posted that link on x, the title is shown as “1 Christian vs 20 Atheists (ft. Jordan Peterson)” Apparently, after this drama became popular, someone went in for damage control.
JBP is a bullshitter. He sort of makes points, but packages them in layers of semantics, sophistry, obfuscation, and just plain noise. Some people are impressed by this. This problem here is that when you live by the gotcha, you die by the gotcha. JBP just became too clever for his own good, and was hoisted on his own petard. To the millions that are bored by his antics, the downfall of JBP is hilarious. Of course, when you wear a pin stripe suit to talk to baseball hats …
The format of this telenova is for JBP to present a “claim”, and the young atheists run to the interview chair to do battle. Claim #1 “Atheists reject God, but they don’t understand what they’re rejecting” The first fighting atheist is Cade Bradley, aka gayextrad. Cade was studying for the Catholic priesthood, and can sling big words like a pro. … “when we look at the Bible the Bible can’t precisely say anything because there are so many different exegetical and hermeneutic views of this particular book and that everybody has disagreed historically on it seems like even the most benign detail about a book this big and it seems like you can only say that the Bible says something if you first presuppose that it’s univocal.” This was early in the show, before the audience went to sleep.
At 48:46, one atheist is “voted out by the majority”, and @dannyphiltalk moves into the hot chair. Danny is going to be the viral sensation. JBP is defending Claim #3 “Everybody worships something, including atheists, even though they might not know it”.
“How do they regard Mary?” … “Why are you asking me that?” … “Because you’re a Christian?” You say that” … “I haven’t claimed that” … “Oh what is this is this Christians versus atheist” … “I don’t know” … “You don’t know where you are right now” … “Don’t be a smartass” … “I mean either you’re a Christian or you’re not” … “You’re a smart ass” … “Either you’re a Christian or you’re not. Which one is it?” … “I could be either of them but I don’t have to tell you you” … “You don’t have to tell me? I was under the impression I was invited to talk to a Christian. Am I not talking to a Christian?” … “No … “I think everyone should look at the title of the YouTube channel. You’re probably in the wrong YouTube video.” … “You’re really quite something you?” … “but you’re really quite nothing”
If you really are hard up for entertainment, you say see the entire shitshow here. If that isn’t enough, chamblee54 has written about JBP several times. 061318 061718 070318 072719 021220 020224 Pictures today are from Special Collections and Archives, Georgia State University Library The social media picture was taken May 22,1955. “Colonial Stores supermarket at Briarcliff and LaVista”
