Nearly as bad as Zig Forumss "Trump is secret nazi and supporting israel is 4dchess"
Stefan Molyneux considering converting to Christianity?
That movie was so hilarious,
The rest of movie was blatantly "we wuz kangs".
kinda like the japs?
He was mentioned in another thread, but check out the works of Rene Girard. He was, at least for me, very instrumental for getting me from the "there must be a god" stage to actual belief in God. I say this as someone who has a background in criminal behavioral genetics, pretty close to the field Peterson himself comes from, although we're more concerned with social order side of things.
On a side note he's way late to the party on heritability, IQ, the OCEAN model, etc. The new advances in the field are miles ahead of the stuff in his lectures.
It would probably fly over my head completely, but that sounds pretty cool.
Also, oddly for someone who has that over-inquisitive mind that is often associated with delusions of rationalist grandeur, I've come to be a committed Christian. The only thing that concerns me, is that one day, I will have to confront my family, I hope I can slowly redpill them.
I hate this meme so much that I groan reflexively when I see it. We already have a word for this: Statecraft. Trump is a statesman engaging in statecraft.
Exactly like them. Idolatry is the closest thing to faith Moly and friends can have because folk like him think only in terms of commodification. Naturally they'll try to make an idol out of anything they think advances their bottom line.
Maybe, maybe not. He is an idolater of capitalism, if he walks that back and says "it's only a useful tool" and "Christian charity is a necessity for a healthy society" we're talking about a fundamental change that goes to the root of the person, hence real conversion can be inferred.
We'll see
You probably don't have it as bad as I did. My family are Jehovah's Witnesses. The "you're a heretic" conversation with my mother went about as well as you would figure. All I can recommend is that you go in ready, armed to the teeth with proper doctrine, and, if they're JWs, an interlinear polyglot Bible.
God no, just the most wilful and vainglorious atheists. It hurts them a lot, they tend to think they can accomplish all on their own, not realizing that motivation is a rare commodity measured out in real faith. Really, it is my brother I'm most worried for, I'm concerned that he's full millennial potato, because he's given expectations and no reasons and perhaps feels that this life is too hopeless, all of which is why it would be advantageous for him to learn to trust in intangibles.
I mean there's hell and all that, but I'd like to see a real change with them. I've always been my brother's hero, so I don't fear he'll crap on my efforts, it's more my parents who will. Plus it was my ex who broke down a lot of my resistance to religion, and my parents didn't take a liking to her, so I'm concerned they will assume I've been corrupted.
Good on him, I've had a feeling he would come through.
