_David,_ With or without belief in a god, people feel euphoric. It's not like you have evidence a god exists or (less important because it wouldn't indicate whether a god exists) that people feel more euphoric with god than without. Also you seemed to ignore his "answers". After all, _he never answers the question._ 1. His first answer (none of your business) avoids answering and he even admits it. 2. His second answer isn't about belief. He asks 'depends on what you mean by belief', but then he talks about _saying_ something is true or _acting_ whether it's true. Neither are belief. Belief is _thinking_ something is true! So he avoids answering there too. Honestly I was surprised the channel's owner titled the video this way and then used that clip (which I was already familiar with and doesn't really provide a reason for following god. It doesn't even provide a reason to _believe_ in a god!

[@gailbenjamin1010]

With all respect, Dr. Peterson, I wonder if you have thought about how amazing your mind is and how that came to be. I believe you were created by a God who wants to be in real relationship with you. He put a drive and a longing in you to search Him out and try to understand. I was 70 before I began to understand it. And beginning a real relationship with Him is not really scary, as you seem to be struggling with. Once you really try to connect and ask Him into your life, something strange happens. He begins to change you from within. I really have had no part in how He has transformed me over the last six years. I just asked Him to show me and He has gradually changed what I'm interested in, what brings me pleasure and fulfillment, how to find peace and joy and trust. I don't have to live a perfect life. He loves me just the way I am; but I am being changed little by little to be more like Him. For me, it's not about religion. It's about talking with Him, studying the Bible, and finding gratitude in everything I see around me. I'm praying for you. ❤ He's real...and his "yoke is easy" (Matthew 11:28-30).

@@CedanyTheAlaskan amen. Faith in the Greek sense which is "pistis" is closely tied to a convictional faith, which is action. Even closer to what Jesus spoke himself is "emuna" which is an action oriented word which would mean "belief which is supported" like works. So, like many translational thing with the Bible, things kind of got overlooked and people ran with it.

So true we have all gone astray. I wish I could but this flesh holds us back. It’s corrupted

[@jocelynfuentes4497]

I think Petersons point is that we that claim to be followers of Christ should challenge ourselves by not simply answering “do you believe in god” in such a light manner but to reflect on whether our words match our actions. God may forgive us over & over again because god is merciful no matter how many times we mess up but only if your intentions are true. What is a person that claims to be Christian but with an evil heart repeatedly hurts others? Don’t claim to believe in & care about God if you are not trying to follow the virtuous path. I think that’s what he meant.

Sin does not separate "God and you" but sin will surely separate you from the person that you sinned against. And that person is the same to God. Sin will not separate "that person from God" . So if that person is not able to be getting justice in God's sight, you will surely go only to hell only no doubt. Net is not God. Pray, shutting your door and do what's right.

Ill just say this without my faith my active ongoing belief in my God I would probably be dead. Years ago my thoughts mixed with guilt and shame were torturing me. I was having thoughts of suicide because the things I would think of despite every effort to stop were coming like waves upon land wearing me down. I remember thinking am I a bad person? At this point I was almost going to give up I was almost there. And I heard a voice in my head reasonable matter of fact which simply said no. That’s it. And I was in shock total shock because it wasn’t my thought. It wasn’t my self conscious that answered it was foreign if that makes sense. The answer to my question didn’t come from me! To this day I believe I was blessed to hear someone good someone steady if that makes sense. I believe my Lord spoke to me that day. A simple word but it was enough to save me. To not give up. And I will always be thankful.

God has spoken to me in my dream (telling me I had to have another child and it would be a boy, because my daughter needed her brother). He has also used my mouth to speak words that I never thought of and didn't vocalize ...my mouth was saying what my mind thought (my mouth moved to say my thoughts), but the words that came out of my mouth (sound) were something else. And when my ears heard something else that what my mouth was trying to vocalize, I was shook! Then I immediately realized that God made my voice say something else. My mind was filled with KNOWING that God spoke through me.

But you make an assumption early on that I think is wrong. "In other words, we'd all intuitively know right from wrong" Is that not a bit arrogant to assume that if objective morals exist, they must have some connection with you? I don't see why there can't be an objective moral good that is completely disconnected from humans and beyond our natural perception. Just like there was objective laws in science, but it took a framework that went beyond our limitations to find.

[@viperstriker4728]

@@moreplease998 I define my morality not based of what I feel, but based of principles. I certainly have bias from feelings that get in the way, but that's the bug I work on fixing. I create those moral principles by looking at line of thinking caused good outcomes in the past, with a study of history and discussion with others. These principles have often told me to do something opposites of my feels. As of yet I have not regretted listening to them over my feeling of what is right. "an objective morality that we have no personal perception of. If so then our own morality by default must be subjective." That is the exact reasoning I used when I rejected defining feeling off feelings. It's is subjective to you, but it's consistent because those feelings are formed by culture and we all live in the same culture. If you look at another culture through the lens of your own morality, it very much does look like they are all psychopaths. Take for example Japanese seppuku. To the US suicide is something that happens do to mental issues. To the Japanese, there was a situation in which suicide was the honorable thing to do. To say seppuku is wrong (which is something I would say), is to appeal to an objective morality, because subjectively they felt it was right. "were the morality of all minds truly subjective then no matter whether there is an absolute authority or not, moral right would fundamentally boil down to might makes right." You conclude this because you have concluded that morality must be derived from feeling. I reject morality from feeling so I come to a different conclusion. If their is an objective good that is disconnected from us, we can use our ability to learn and model things to find that objective morality. Just like science can find objective truth, but is always in the process of finding it because objective truth might be infinitely large. We can find objective morality that is coded into reality itself, but we will always be in the process of finding it.

You can choose to take on responsibility and certainly an emotional impulse would be involved in that. But their are situation when you have responsibility placed on you. If the responsibility might be someone telling you just to do, in which it is might makes right as you pointed out. But it could be circumstances beyond any humans control. Let me explain it with a movie reference. In Spiderman, he gets his powers sees a theft happen but does nothing, because the crime didn't hurt him. But then the guy kills his uncle, so he had no way to know but the crime actually did hurt him. In that scene Spiderman's feelings cause him to set a goal of revenge for being cheated, then when the thief gets that revenge for him he feels justified. There are 2 moral principles in this scene. The idea of, if you have the power to take responsibility for a situation, then you should. Same as Peterson talking about finding the heaviest burden you can carry. Or Jocko Willink's ideas of extreme ownership. But of course this raises the question of what is the responsible thing to do, which is why the scene has the second principle of ownership in it. I will start as deep as I can go for this but try to make it brief. Existence is better then non-existence (if you don't believe this then you likely kill yourself and the idea dies with you, so I assume everyone alive accepts this). Killing ends existence, so that is a bad outcome (it might not be the worst outcome, but that doesn't exclude it from always being bad). Conflict happens, so we need a way to avoid killing. Trade is one form of compromise that allows this. In order to conduct trade, what is controlled by each party must be predetermined. I could be wrong, but my reason tells me the right of ownership is the best way to do this. I will admit that I take shortcuts accepting some appeal to authorities, but that is why it is a work in progress and I don't think I will ever claim to know what objective morality is. But I still think its worth striving for. For the point on suicide, I see it as abandoning your responsibilities. And since like my religion certainly gives me some responsibilities, I think this is why suicide is considered a sin. My view on the religion is that it had a reason for what it says is sin, and if I find that reason I can see if it applies to me. Some things are applicable today, but some things were issue tied to the culture of the time. I consider all that open for debate as I am not smart enough to figure it out myself and do have bias from emotional investment as you pointed out. But I disagree with the framing of appeal to objective morality. Seppuku isn't wrong because I think I am objective, rather thinking I am objective is the prerequisite for my opinion that it is wrong. Without belief in the objective, I have no right to condemn the actions of other cultures. I would still have to debate why my opinion is accurate and ensure it doesn't violate my principles before any action is taken. "Feelings provide a prominent part of the landscape of understanding of what each other wants" That sounds more like projecting then empathy. I think empathy requires knowledge of the other persons psychology for logic to use for filtering out your own emotions. Your overall point about empathy is very well stated, and I think many people can make do with that as a shortcut. But it does exclude people that lack empathy. Though I suspect I am a person that lacks empathy, so perhaps it is more effective then I give it credit for. The last point I will make before throwing it to you to respond is on the churches claim of objective moral imperative. I assume you are referring to the state churches of the middle ages and renascence. A common theme is that they suppressed the Bible and open discussion in general. Claims that fear their own scripture can't even make a real claim to objectivity, much less justify it. If a religion is true, then it will be self-evident and does not need censorship. The moment someone start to censor other ideas, I start to question rather they believe their own claims.

I just want to add to this. We follow people on social media, or we have our favorite friends, family or loved ones in person. We ought to make efforts to ourselves to show ourselves, we are following God. We can do this through daily prayers, devotionals, group meetings, etc. I think it's important to level up our following too, with God, and make efforts to understand the principles we can grow in, to strengthen our effectiveness in being a follower of God and having impact on those that may not know Him.

I mean imagine Gary makes your identical argument but says it proves leprechauns control the leprechaun-afterlife.

As a christian we believe in the perfect righteousness and perfect love of God which He manifested in Jesus Christ who came in the flesh and voluntarily died on the cross on our behalf while we were yet sinners and enemies of God. We were made christians when we believed on Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross *alone* and His resurrection *alone,* _despite_ of our sins. It _is_ the gospel of the grace of God, _not_ a false gospel of the supposed 'goodness' or 'self improvement' of mankind. Jordan's question is discomfortable because he has to let go trying to attain righteousness by his own strength, which always fails. That's why it is written in *_John 3:16-21_* _For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved._ _“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”_

As an agnostic this is quite interesting. Lately i have been wondering about..Ethics..(and my place in the universe but let's go from ethics), And i defined it as "What reaches for the highest good" and tried to tackle it from an atheistic point of veiw, bechause i beleive that whatever is ethical cannot be defined by a single beeing (Atheistic with regards to the laws of nature, not values). And i started by observing that the reason anything matters, that anything can be good, is bechause there are people that can perceive things as good, nothing else can. Even if we truly live in a god-less universe, then things still matter by the sheer fact that people exist that can experience it. We are what enables things to be good, yet we don't get to decide. Subjektive experience is everything. (Nearly, i still feel i lack one final part) Long story slightly shorter: I realized/came to beleive that "What is Ethical" Could be seen as an emergent property of people existing and experiencing things (We carry a spark of divinity) And i have come to realise that much of the preliminary "conclusions" i made from exploring this line of thought are....shoot forgot... but let's just say that i feel i'm becoming more religious, i feel that Ethics (and "god" that i am starting to perceive through it) are presenting themselves as more factually correct than ever to me. And, as i said, i'm agnostic, so i'm not entirely beyond the idea of.. something beyond all of this (in fact i hope so), and i think, after imagening how a omnipotent god might function...i can imagine an scenario in which us existing in this world as it is makes sense. Essentialy we are here to experience it, bechause even if there is an afterlife that god controls, we need something "true" to inform us, and things can't be true if the basic rules can change, or if nothing has consequences, or if things reverse, or if the basic rules do no apply..or... Sorry i'm way to tirred right now, let's just say i'm starting to see the importance if me, and everybody else, how "true" being ethical is, and the wisdom in perhaps... allowing myself to be a bit more religious (christian appears to be the best fit), and perhaps seek a..non-fanatical?.. guidance in it.

Love our father Yah and his son Yeshua and try my best to live by his Torah. And I believe if we all do this it makes us better people and not just in God's eyes but in the worlds eyes.. We become light's and our shine rubs of on others

I’ve never known peace, joy and hope that is given by Jesus. I am not quite sure how people live without Jesus. Praying for every person that reads this message.Jesus loves you and there is hope! If your don’t believe ask Jesus to show himself to you. Love and blessings to all

I believe because I know I screw up, I’m not good enough, I have a hard time following the moral law of love the Lord your God with all your heart mind soul and strength, and love your neighbour as yourself

"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9

Matthew, think of Maslow's Heirarchy of needs, for example. As we become more intelligent, more everything in terms of being human, we reach the pinnacle, which is accepting our spirituality. Only a psychologically mature person will achieve this stage. Also see Carl Jung's theory of stages.

Believing in God isn't a private thing. Gods glory is shown through creation.

That is the amazing Grace, we who were enemies are now heirs of the promise. So gratitude causes us to share it with everyone. Read the book of maryters 2 volumes absolutely nothing worldly about it.Ray Comfort explains none good but God...and how the Savior used it to magnify our need for Him God bless you and your family

I was taught not to question the bible just to believe it is so. But as a human as man this was impossible to believe in something so unimaginable so I had to find out for myself. So I went and I spoke out loud as if he was walking with me. I was alone of course and I asked questions and said I don't want to hear voices I want you to show me the answers as I walked I talked I talked about what I thought life was what I had hoped for in the future I talked about my questions about some of the storyline and how it was hard to comprehend I questioned his existence but only because I wanted the truth I wanted to know the truth. As I walked my questions were answered with items I found in nature and nature itself by the time my day was over and was time to go home I had no doubt in my mind this was real . Really hard to explain really hard to realize what had just happens. Yes it changes you yes you try to live up to it but as I said to him or god I was a man and I will make mistakes and from what I understood was be man make mistakes but know I am here for you when nobody else is that he is their when the darkest of your life is at its worst he's their and when you believe this deep inside and hold it true it helps keep you grounded and keeps you from falling off the edge I don't care what others believe and they will never be able to change my mind now I'm a very rational person I want truth I don't want fish story's but for me I can't say he's not real I'd be lieing. Be true to yourself and your heart life is life and man is not perfect. Even Jesus knew this. God is with us if we like it or not.

"Ask, and it shall be given you. Seek, and you shall find. Knock, and it shall be opened unto you." You will never go wrong as long as you are truly seeking TRUTH. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the TRUTH and the Life. No one comes to the Father but by Me." John 14:6

@@thomasmartinscott I went to god and he showed me however it was studying Hebrews and the book of John at this time my questions were answered with biblical events and objects related to the this and the connection was to bible stories and events. The reason I said god was the issue I had with learning other religions is I wanted to speak to the God and not a specific entity so I said God and not anything else or person. The god and I did get enough response that it illiminated any doubt I had. You have to really believe and be open to even the smallest detail just walk and talk. It may take more then one time to test your faith but keep doing it and you will get your answers I guarantee

[@ludwigwittgenstein5054]

Ha, ha, ha....... I like ther last sentence; "God is with us if we like it or not." Is option "not" really open? Ha, ha, ha........

A clever man who wants power convinces others of their rightness in the simplest way possible. I didn't say intelligent. I didn't say thought provoking. Just someone regurgitating what you already believe-but in an eloquent, self congratulating way. And you're all hooked as if narcissus in front of his reflection.
