@@yannickbelgers6828 Agreed. There are (1.) the mental states of hell that you laid out, as well as (2.) literal states of hell manifesting in the physical world I laid out (like war, starvation, torture, atrocity, etc).

At least speculation acknowledges its own humility. Is there no usefulness in the concept of a metaphysical hell?

“God” is probably the most vague word in the English language, maybe even human language. Yet he was able to summarize it in a way that makes so much sense. Not even calling god a being but rather some kind of force that drives you to act and consumes you when you don’t.

[@fakavangchhia2051]

​@@vidfuel12stop trying to explain god, no matter how much anyone claims, they are still far from truly understanding him, they dont know him, we only know the version of him that was painted by our own life experiences, expectations and teachings, Jordan describes god in a way that completely explains, yet leaves it open ended enough to find out exactly what god is ourselves on a personal level, as an atheist this is the version of god i believe in. it is not a doctrine, it is not a teaching, it is an understanding of our need for this god on an individual level, objectively, and also subjectively. god is not a father that asks for 1/10 of your income and cares a lot about what you do in bed while naked. it is the spirit that teaches you that making the appropriate preparations for future ongoing events, i.e., earning your daily bread, finding your purpose in life etc, requires making sacrifices, eg, utilizing time studying for an upcomming exam, or actually doing physical labour to earn your daily wages which you will in turn use to keep moving forward in life and not remain stagnant, the reward being directly proportional to the thing you sacrifices

People who say they don't believe in God are people who want to do whatever they want, be their own moral compass without consequences. In other words, you are your own god.

[@booksquid856]

That's a gross mis-assumption. Often people who say they don't believe in God simply don't believe in the concept of God that a particular religion may present to them...and with very good reason!! PLENTY of religious people use their own moral compass and attempt to escape consequences by using their religion itself. Humans do this. It really doesn't make a person any more or less immune to such behavior simply because they say they do or do not believe in God.

[@zackmac5917]

@@booksquid856 That's what you rationalise it to be, but the point is that even subconsciously, the reason why they do not choose God is because they don't want to be accountable to Him, they want to be their own God and accountable to their own morality. This is the real reason why people don't come to believe in God. They build rationalisations upon that desire in their heart to justify their rejection of God. *John 3:19-21:* "19 And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil. 20 For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his works should be exposed. 21 But whoever does what is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his works have been carried out in God.”"

[@random-yk9rv]

[@ezergilechimekazikura6855]

Yet still, as we contend with the idea of God as it was most coommonly understood through years, the idea of being embodied by the spirit thhat calls us in ways described by Petersonn in this fragment, does not contradict atheistic worldview. The challenge is, when atheist says 'there is no God', to not continue 'other than me', because that is the shortest way to tyranny, and we've seen what it leads into. Thus, the call of an atheist is not to just toss God aside as a concept after contending with it, but to embody originallly external call to strife for the highest possible good, that one being Love, placed on the shoulders of Truth, via supreme moral effort, because if there is not something you bow to, only through said moral effort may one withstand the touch of tyrannical impulse and not become a tyrant. And the one who achieves such a point, won't do anything they want, because doing all you want is not freedom, it's slavery to one's passion and temptation. Supreme moral effort is also characterised by self-control, because without it we can't act out our will in a mannner that is not tyrannical and opressive.

[@ezergilechimekazikura6855]

@@booksquid856 Peterson works on a book called Children of Israel or something among the lines, and one of his obsevations on the matter of rellatiionship between the idea of God and atheists that I think will be keystone of that book, is that atheists miight be children of Israel more than anyone else, because Israel translates as 'The One Who Contend With God', and who fits this description more than atheist? The reason of this piece is not to slander atheists as if they can't be moral and virtuous due to not believing, but to convey the most fundamental ideas of mentioned stories from Biblical Corpus and to extract them in a manner presenting the goal and the value of said stories. By no means atheist is unable to grasp and implement concepts described into their lives, and no indication is given that apriori atheist won't do it.

I think most gods make more sense in a metaphorical way than in the literal manner they are presented in. 'God' is like the concept of morality, and 'hell' is the set of consequences of being a bad person. I personally don't believe in hell as a literal place you go when you die, but as a metaphorical consequence.
