Joe Rogan isnt sold on the Bing Bang theory finds Jesus resurrection more plausible

Yikes, lol.

Yikes, lol.

early today the YT video popped out on my feed titled "1 Christian vs 20 Atheists". I didnt open it because I have no patience for JP word salad

Saw your post here and went to look at it... the title now is "Jordan Peterson vs 20 Atheists"

I think you should take what is useful and discard what is useless.

The Bible was obviously written by men and it contains a lot of universal wisdom as well as a bunch of outdated stuff that doesn’t apply.

As for this specific event, obviously the further back in history you go, the more difficult it would be to verify so yeah some of the Old Testament stuff is questionable, but again the book is not meant to be taken literally, and whether something really happened or not is less relevant than the lesson that it teaches.

So who decides what's useful and useless, the individual? A person could take the violent passages because they are useful for him and discard the peaceful ones because they are useless for his goals?

The number of dorks I’ve heard use Jeebus whipping religious hypocrites with a coil of rope to justify their own hissy fits when their feelings are upset is wild.

Each person decides for themselves but we all intuitively already know what is right and the ones who choose the wrong path that’s on them and their soul.

Be that as it may, I don’t buy into the premise that because millions of people practice a religion in a country it somehow manages to mean that the government runs things based off of that religion. It may be true sometimes but I believe that those are exceptions to the rule.

So you think it’s just a coincidence that out of 200 countries in the world the only ones you would seriously consider living in are the Christian ones?

If we already intuitively know what’s right then by that logic theres is no point to reading the Bible or its lessons.

Fck Rogan. Hes a classic example of why you shouldnt mix extreme amounts of testosterone therapy with extreme amounts of weed while being 5 feet tall.

How do we all intuitively know? Is it just our reasoning capabilities in our brains that makes this possible?

Unfortunately, we don’t ALL know it, but most of us do.

As for the second part, I’m not a neuroscientist, but it’s something intuitive which is I believe, instilled by our creator.

Beautiful country. Some of the nicest people. Been there twice.

This is similar to what I described earlier with Evolution and Natural Selection. From the evidence:

- Scientists theorize that environmental pressure forced our human lineage to descend from the trees while other primate lineages (chimps, gorillas, monkeys) remained.
- Upright walking became advantageous in the tall grasslands.
- That moved our brain into a new position in our skulls, freed our hands, moved our voice boxes down so speech became possible.
- All of these mutations stimulated our cerebral cortexes and over thousands of generations and gave us advanced reasoning

Do you accept that from the evidence found that this is how your god instilled this into us?

Where in the Bible is mentioned that the Bible is to be the only thing guiding Christianity?

There is nothing that validates Sola Scriptura in the Bible and its even worse once you know the Bible has been translated so many times over the years.

As i mentioned before the Catholic Church was basically the foundation of modern Western law and Canon law is the oldest extant Western legal system for a reason, it was the only Roman institution that survived.

As such Catholicism works a lot like a Western legal system, but in reality it is legal systems that work like Catholic church.

In the same way that you have lower courts, district courts and the supreme court in the church you have priests, bishops, archbishops, cardinals and the pope.

The idea of sola scriptura is as silly as thinking anyone can read the Constitution and have the same legal understanding of American law as the SCOTUS itself and that any ruling whatsoever must only be made on the written law, which is stupid as fuck to begin with.

There is a reason why you need to study a lot to be come a judge and its the same reason why you need to study a lot to become Pope, it requires understanding of a lot of concepts that allow you to interpret the Bible in a legal tradition that goes back almost 1700 years long.

Revelation 22:18-19
​

18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.


Don't pounce here, but didn’t Jesus specifically rail against legalism?

There’s no such thing as a Christian country.

The "prophecy of this book"

As in the prophecy of the apocalypse

Well, minus Vatican City, although they are far from paragons of virtue

I think a lot of it is geographical too tbh. I don't think many people would be rushing to live in Christian countries in Africa either.

Do did god reprogram us after the old testament? Install human moral software 2.0?
