Well, it isn’t an important takeaway as the conversation is about that at all. And as it is a public discussion and you joined in to paint peterson as somewhat christian, you are moving the conversation from the topic of discussion to another topic that is more easily defensible. The classic goal post shift.
OK so what’s more important to take away from this thread? That Jordan Peterson himself refuses to say he’s a Christian, or whether his words and actions accurately paint him as a literal Christian Nationalist.
Sorry, I just thought the latter was more important.
Well his actions don’t paint him as a literal Christian nationalist. His actions paint him as someone who for whatever reason supports (or uses) christian nationalism. His motivation is not clear because there is no advantage to praise Christianity 24/7 while refusing to be labeled a christian. I would understand why he wouldn’t want to be labeled a nationalist but christian? I haven’t heard a single reasonable case for that behavior.
Against this is not about whether or not peterson is a bad person and supportive of bigotry and hatred. But his christian identity in comparison to Harris’ non-chriatuan identity.
You are welcome to shittalk peterson but this isn’t, and wasn’t about that and you are shifting the goal post.
I’m not the person you were originally talking to, so I didn’t move any goalposts. Just pointing out the important takeaway here.
