People act like they believe in God

Spirituality


People who behave in a morally sound way are acting like they believe in God, at least this is what Jordan Peterson believes.

Does this mean that people who behave in a morally unsound way are acting like they don't believe in God?



@divegeester
Jordan Peterson's shtick is a bit like sonship's: 'You DO believe in Jesus, FMF, but you won't admit it because you are angry with him for calling you to account.'

Gaslighting, in other words.

I'd say he is an atheist who wants to make money from being popular with Christians.

No mention of what the Bible says about godly or ungodly behavior?

What did Jesus say? You shall know them by their fruit?

Quite boring. They kept interrupting each other. IMO neither of them actually knows what they're talking about.

"Does this mean that people who behave in a morally unsound way are acting like they don't believe in God?"

I can't draw that conclusion. Whether or not people believe in God they ultimately choose to either obey or violate their own conscience, believer and unbeliever alike.

So you consider yourself to be more intelligent and coherent than Jordan Peterson and Matt Dillahunty, such that you ~ who has spent years here posting in the way that you do ~ are in a position to declare that these two public intellectuals don't "know what they're talking about"?

If a believer behaves in a morally unsound way [i.e. choose not to obey], are they acting like they don't believe in God?

They talked, but nothing was said.

I've heard more coherent conversations between children.

Clearly.

Given your own limitations, are you really in a position to declare that these two public intellectuals don't "know what they're talking about"? I don't think so. Perhaps you just didn't understand what they were saying.
