Subscribe“After Ayaan Hirsi Ali, will Dawkins end up joining Team Christian too?”
Given that Dawkins quite clearly doesn’t believe in God, that’ll seems unlikely.
Neither does Peterson. They’re both “Cultural Christians.”
I thought he did? My mistake if so, but the article suggests that belief in God is the difference between them.
I think Peterson is an atheist or agnostic.
what does ‘believe in God’ mean tho
It means the belief that the world was created by an intelligent and purposeful designer and not the result of non-life spontaneously evolving into life (abiogenesis).
Does anyone in Europe, or anywhere in the world, think Facebook banned Chega without direction from the Portaguese govt or the EU?
No right thinking person, anyway – especially those who know Portuguese politics. The Portuguese Left are still reeling from their drubbing by the Right in the recent elections, and are now resorting to underhand tactics. They can’t win fairly, so will try unfairly.
I hope Peterson wears one of his crazy clown jackets for the debate. It would frame the expected faux profundity with a certain jenesekwa.
I wish the late and great Chris Hitchens were still alive, he would have made mincemeat of Peterson.
Made mincemeat of him, rather than just having an intelligent two way discussion?
Read Charles Taylor or William James.
Chris Hitchens is neither here nor there. Dunning-Kruger effect is strong.
‘Je ne sais quoi’ perhaps? Not really holding out much hope for your ability to think.
Idyo, nespa?
Passionately hating people like Jordan Peterson or Elon Musk generally provides a good barometer of one’s character
And Trump.
Need to convert Richard Dawkins to Christianity
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t a lot of mathematical principles, like algebra, come from the Arabia?
Hmmm… Am wondering whether taxation in Australia will be decolonised, too, providing for alternative tax returns that are based on indigenous mathematics?
This would be really fair and, of course, progressive!
Great round-ups that make for enjoyable reading on the bus. But oh no, Australia is newsworthy for the wrong reasons again! >_< Sorry for the silliness in this part of the world, everyone!
”Indigenous mathematics” could have something to do with why they were stuck in the early Stone Age until the arrival of the British lifted them out of it.
