He's a disgusting psychobabblist gnostic.

Let me give you a basic rundown

>Jordan Peterson represents the first open attack on the SJW movement in academia by a small elite group tasked with saving Western civilization
>in fact his body and personality are merely a vessel piloted by the combined shamanic energies of this hidden cabal
>the University of Toronto is run by a snake-cult of deranged OISE lesbians, who are sacrificing children via abortions to resurrect a pelasgian serpent goddess
>the goddess also needs an army of husks (created through miscegenation), spiritual nulls or "golems" who will do its bidding when the time comes
>they are mistaken about the identity and aims of this goddess, which is actually a primeval entity of chaos
>Peterson's gestalt group-mind is a blakean esoteric christian
>"he" is in contact with various beings that may or may not be avenging archangels
>Mircea Eliade is still alive, and he is housing Jung's soul like when McCoy housed Spock's katra in Star Trek 3
>aliens may or may not be involved, the spiritual crisis on earth is a spectral beacon visible for several thousand light years to anyone or anything with eyes to see
>full-blown spiritual warfare of the highest order will begin soon

>>9811210
First time I've heard someone accuse Peterson of being a Gnostic. What makes you think this?

>>9811227
He's a Jungian, meaning a neo-Gnostic except with no actual belief in God. They're turds that have the ridiculous need to reduce everything to systematic allegory and other forms of psychobabble.

>>9811233
>I don't know what I'm talking about

>>9811238

>>9811196
He basically thinks that the only possible reason to follow an ethic behaviour and not just walking around killing random people is by acting as if there is a God.

But that's absurd, ask a priest if he would refuse the penitence of someone on death row, there is nothing you can do in life that will make religion abandon you. It's better to ask forgiveness than ask permission. Atheists tend not to take risks, because they don't have the fluffy cloud blanket of inviolability.

Jordan Peterson is the last stand, the final boss. He knows that with God dead, everything is permitted, but he walks the Earth to keep us shackled. He stands atop his tall pillarthrone, raising an army from the weary walking dead, to conquer our minds and subjugate once us more to the tyranny of MEANING. He sees himself as the replacement for - no, the new incarnation of - God and is working on technologies to wrap the Earth noosphere in psi-chains and to transcend his bodily form - replacing the crucified Christ body hovering above Terra. If we are ever to free ourselves, he must be destroyed.

>>9811196
Hasn't he always said he dose not believe in what people say, but in the way people act when talking about morals and such.

So isn't he saying that it doesn't matter whether he says he believes in a god or not, but that he acts as if he does. In doing so he has convinced himself in the presences of god.

Or maybe he really is a vessel of some cabal idk.

>>9811330
I actually am an atheist. I don't follow this Peterson guy, it only happens that I've seen that video, and I think he has an interesting question (that I had already thought to myself): "how can one justify his ethics and morals if there is no God, and therefore there isn't an absolute truth?" I mean, if we consider the non-existence of a God, we aren't able to prove any statements, like "all men are born equal before the law"

>>9811196
he fell for pascal's wager

>>9811369

I will give you what I can without any cooperation from you. Jung is in no way a "neo-Gnostic" (a totally incoherent notion). He studied Gnosticism, yes, and there are noticeable parallels between analytic psychology and Gnosticism, but remember that Jung (despite his mysticism, which you may not realize is not the same thing as Gnosticism) is a materialist. "God" is located in the unconscious, an ultimatey physical phenomenon. Moreover, a total identification with or "return to" the unconscious is both undesirable and impossible.

I agree that the notion of a materialist Gnosticism is incoherent, but I don't think Jungian psychology can be reduced to that. His conclusions about human nature, for example, do not really square with Gnosticism

He can't accept the fact that God doesn't exist so he lies to himself to make him feel better. The truth is that God is beyond human comprehension and the arguments for or against God is just the failure of language producing what appears to be a legitimate philosophical inquiry.

That's why he's neognostic, not just an atheistic gnostic. Him and his fanboys really can't be described as anything other than neognostics, it just permeates through their entire mindset.
>>9811708
I absolutely disagree. When one accepts any of Jung's concepts, they put a nail in God's coffin. They reduce God to a Form, when Christianity is fundamentally a massive drift away from that sort of Neoplatonics. If God is merely a Form, then Christ's death and ascension were just metaphorical. If God is merely a Form, then there is nothing 'actual' or immanent about Him, which is absolutely heretical. That's gnostic/deist theology and it is absolutely heretical. It's more heretical than Antichristian Satanism or any sort of paganism.

Accepting a concept does not make the concept the full spectrum of truth. Religious truth is shaped like a fractal anyways; it is true in various ways in multiple levels, and you can expand upon it indefinitely, so long as you keep looking at the pattern. I think jungian concepts fill one such layer. I used to be against evolution, but I began to see this vast expanse of Creation. Mind is one such frontier of God's glory. A scary one, yes, but a necessary one to understand these days. Otherwise you will be playing Othello like /pol/.

From what I have heard of him he seems less interested in morality than psychology. He doesn't necessarily want you to believe in God, he wants you to be the hero in your own archetypal story. He thinks this is the solution to nihilism.

If God exists everything is permitted as well. You kill a little child, well if that child is innocent it goes to heaven so you haven't actually harmed a person, you've basically done them a favor.

How many times have I heard of some serial killer victim and they say "oh they are in a better place now." Worse than the prospect of infinite forgiveness is the impossibility of doing any actual harm. The denial of material reality has consequences. Atheists must live in the world we create.

"But on earth we are indeed wandering, as it were, and did we not have the precious image of Christ before us, we would perish and be altogether lost, like the race of men before the flood. Much on earth is concealed from us, but in place of it we have been granted a secret, mysterious sense of our living bond with the other world, with the higher heavenly world, and the roots of our thoughts and feelings are not here but in other worlds. That is why philosophers say it is impossible on earth to conceive the essence of things. God took seeds from other worlds and sowed them on this earth, and raised up his garden; and everything that could sprout sprouted, but it lives and grows only through its sense of being in touch with other mysterious worlds; if this sense is weakened or destroyed in you, that which has grown up in you dies. Then you become indifferent to life, and even come to hate it. So I believe."

Religion is a human universal - the ability and proclivity of the human mind to discover/realize that there is some sort of God is intrinsic to every human mind and every human society. It is not about Christianity alone, religion has existed alongside mankind ever since we began evolving the ability to move our gaze from the earth to the heavens. It's all the same God, sending new messages to different groups of people all across human history. We have forgotten many of these Manifestations of God, but they walked among us and told us what we needed to know in order to keep us fixated on what really matters.

What if I live as if God exists for different reasons?
I have no way trust any religion, and the only theological tool I've got left is my moral and ethical perception.

Now, if there is a God and there is an actual divine afterlife, all the suffering I've witnessed so far is meaningless, and I'll be able to accept it. If this is true, acting in a ethical manner is probably what he meant me to do, so there's nothing wrong with it.
If there is no God, at worse I'll have probably helped and improved the lives of who is dear to me, and maybe even the society that surrounds me. The thought of doing this, lf improving the world, gives me enough pleasure for me to genuinely justify my ethical and moral approach, and in fact doing otherwise would actually cause me more harm than anything, especially psychologically. If there is no God of course my ethical sense becomes a mere istinct built in me and doctored by society and culture, yet in a nihilistic framework this would not matter to me as long as I can impose skepticism on said perception of ethics and morals.

I'd say it is a clueless approach, since I've never confronted it with actual philosophy (I mainly read literature), yet I can't see many faults in it. Would you guys consider it as bad as Peterson's one?

How does mathematics work then? You should have a read of a short pop-sci classic called "The Mind of God" by Paul Davies. The fact that maths works and is stable in its values but doesn't exist in the physical universe hints at a realm of Forms.

The Laws proclaimed in God's name are true whether they are enforced by God's right hand or some other power. in the East the Laws are called "Dharmas" or "Dhammas"

so you are better off behaving as though a judgmental entity watches everything you do in every moment of your life.

you might imagine yourself to be free but you aren't, the game has fixed rules (this should be obvious from natural science; does it even need to be stated that moral and physical worlds overlap? for slow minds, perhaps...) that limit your potential and the set of possible outcomes from a given action. some courses of action lead to more or less suffering for yourself and others.

if you think to yourself "that story about Onan is ridiculous, it doesn't matter if I rub one out to tentacle porn" the indifferent Universe, the structure of your own being (which doesn't belong to you - you're renting it) will punish you just as surely as God would have punished you if He existed - assuming an atheist cosmos. whether you conceive of this punishment as coming from a transcendental deity is almost an epiphenomenal issue; mental gymnastics. the Law is real enough and it will follow you in every moment at all times until you die, and maybe past that too

>They reduce God to a Form
If a realm of Forms exist, it is part of God's creation (or essence?) Any Christian should be able to explore Jung's concepts as long as they keep this in mind. Reducing God to a Form is ridiculous and heretical.

A lot of it is true though, give or take a dimension or a psychic pedo vampire or two.

>>9815368
He juxtaposes all the information wildly, like he says that gravity is bleeding in and that is what we call dark matter, right after his talk about 12 dimensions. It's all true, just not necessarily as related as listening to him as if he were a normal human makes it seem to be.

Read the Old Testament through the lens of the New, and through Jesus Christ's teachings. If Christianity truly promoted the killing of homosexuals (Leviticus 20:13) and the stoning of women (other parts of Leviticus Chapter 20) then why would Jesus say "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone?"

Those who are against Christianity like to point out all the bad things they can find, and it's not a difficult thing to do. Leviticus was written between 530-330 BC, hundreds of years before Christ, even before the Roman Empire had the power that it did in 2nd century AD. The thing is though, Jesus spoke against those ancient teachings (which by the way, Leviticus is both in Christianity and in Judaism). You do not see Christians or Jews putting homosexuals to death, or stoning women. In fact in nations with a Christian majority (basically the entirety of western civilization) there is gay marriage legalization cropping up all over the place. I'm Christian, and I'm cool with this.

Going around saying Christians kill homosexuals and stone women, when it's clear that we do nothing of the sort (though Muslims like to throw gays off of rooftops so there's that), you might as well suggest that Italians like to regularly literally crucify people because they did it thousands of years ago, completely ignoring that it's illegal and hasn't been done in God knows how long. Would you accuse J K Rowling of skinning horses alive just because there are horse skeletons in her books?

Christians still kill gays though, don't pretend.

I'm only 'pretending' not to kill gays? I am Christian, I am in a Christian-majority nation, most of the people I see on a day-to-day basis are Christian... yet there are no gays being killed. Sorry that I'm so good at pretending, anon. I'll try to be more blatant with my homo-killing next time. Praise be Leviticus 20:13, it shall be the only passage that I will ever take literally.

Approving of gay marriage as a Christian is absurd. You can be fine with the existence of homosexuals, but approving of marriage is sacrilegious.

Suicide rate of the general US population: 1.5% of population count attempt annualy.
Of LGBT population: 4%.
Trans population: 40%.

Trans people are far more likely to be below the poverty line, be unemployed, have chronic mental health issues, more likely to kill themselves, more likely to have drug addictions, and the worst part of it is that SRS often does the opposite of what it intends.

Christianity offers those affected by Body Dysphoria a lift out, to tell them they don't have to live like they are, that they can build themselves up to become happy, good people.

Lefty trash encourage them to go through with SRS, then discard them when they hate the results.

As >>9815494 has failed to realize, the only real attempts to cure trannies of their mental illness (body dysphoria) have come from Christians.

From Wikipedia:
>In programming language theory, semantics is the field concerned with the rigorous mathematical study of the meaning of programming languages. It does so by evaluating the meaning of syntactically legal strings defined by a specific programming language, showing the computation involved.

>>9811697
>>9816503
So basically,
int x = 2 + 2;
is syntactically correct, but semantics is how the computer knows that x is equal to 4.

More like the human mind is quick to assign agency to things like thunderclouds or random chance. Just because your meatbrain is easily duped doesn't mean your hallucinations are real.

x isn't equal to 4, it's equal to 2 + 2. 2 + 2 equals 4.

If Christians did not approve of gay marriage, then we wouldn't have gay marriage in the west. US, UK, Ireland, Canada, mainland Europe, and so on and so forth. Yet these are some of the most LGBT-friendly places on the planet. Now, look to the Middle East and Africa which have so many Muslims... good luck getting gay marriage there without having the ceremony on a rooftop with the words 'I do' replaced with 'I will (plummet towards the ground to my death)'

As far as I am concerned, even if God hates gays (I doubt this), then let Him judge them in the end. While they're stuck on Earth like the rest of us, let them do as they like. Letting them get married will do nothing to affect my own standings, but to actively hate gays or ESPECIALLY to kill them, it goes against Christ's teachings. Forgive, tolerate, and if they slap you then turn your head to offer the other cheek. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Anti-Christians (often aggressive atheists who try to push their beliefs on others) seem to refuse to acknowledge all the good that Christians have done in recent decades for the LGBT community, and as for society/civilization? We Caucasian Christians have created the greatest in human history, bar none. I'm proud to be white, and I'm proud to be Christian. Anti-Christians can maintain their beliefs all they want, but those beliefs are fueled by self-inflicted ignorance, for if you look at the Christians in day to day life save for those extremists of the Westborough Baptist Church the vast majority of what you will see is love and tolerance. Now take a trip to the Middle East and surround yourself with Muslims... see how that works out for you.
