I like that he is actually objective and not an ideologue. So few thinkers in modern times.

Sad. :-)
Do you care to elaborate?

Travis Johnson wrote:The Bible.
Every week at church, unknown men, filled with humility and with far less intellect and education, give me more hope, more meaning, more love in a single sermon then this man could ever try to comprehend.
The smartest, richest man who ever lived wrote Proverbs...he also wrote Ecclesiastics after making seven experiments on life.
If Jordon Peterson could only be like Lee Strobel and use his quit wit and analytical mind to find the final piece of the pie, he would finally get it. That is, everything under the sun is merely grasping at the wind.

I think Jordan's approach is practical to do what's morally right as if God existed and as if he was accountable for his actions.
It's totally up to God to replace faith with experience as that's not anything we could ever possibly do by our own effort.
"The person who has My commands and keeps them is the one who really loves Me;
and whoever really loves Me will be loved by My Father,
and I too will love him and will show reveal manifest Myself to him.
I will let Myself be clearly seen by him and make Myself real to him."
(John 14:21)
(I'm not certain if it's permitted to quote the Bible here, so please let me know if it's inappropriate and I'll promptly remove it.)

Greg, I have given this several hours of thought since first reading it, and honestly, I do not know. This gives me reason to believe that it is medical in nature. Since my cancer is deeply engrained in the adrenal system, which of course controls emotional functions, including motivation and over-all well-being, I would say I really need to get that straightened out first.
Jordan Petersen cannot help me out if I do not even know who I am.

He became well known and was considered controversial when he publicly stated he would not be forced into using non-standard pronouns (i.e. zie, zim, etc...) after the mandatory use of preferred pronouns was passed into law.
Then as he gained popularity some other fairly standard views were labeled as controversial too (i.e. psychological differences between men and women).

Stress is certainly part of my issue, what is causing it is to be debated. Stress itself, or perceived stress from a poorly operating adrenal system?
If I sound like I am being difficult, I assure you I am not, no one wants to feel better than I do. While I have the utmost respect for a host of people on here, TJ knows I have the deepest respect for him, and hope you know that it extends to you as well.

Yes, of course, and I accept that blame. In fact, i covet that blame. As does this tiny ad:
