I was actually very disappointed Matt held back so much! Peterson virtually didn't answer any question, it was all long-winded word-salads that said nothing or said nonsense (like the crypto-theist thing you mention). That's why I pointed to that conversation, it really highlighted (to me at least) what Peterson is.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Everyone knows Atheism will create a selfish society that is pretty obvious. Compared to have some higher vision or something that motivates you. Some deeper sacred stuff. It becomes all about pleasure with atheism.
Then why is it that most of the societies with highest atheism rates have strongest safety nets and welfare programs?

Please do not just link to other places. Your links have more characters than your text almost. Then it becomes no point even making a comment. Make some argument. Currently the atheist countries in the Western World is being replaced by third world immigration so it's a total destruction of the western worlds history. All thanks to atheism.
Sorry, man, if you want to learn you need to go and read. I'm not your personal teacher, I'm already going out of my way to link short articles I have already read and trust so you may read and decide for yourself. I live and work next to "third world immigrants" here in Europe and they in my experience they are decent people trying to make a living just like the locals (I would link to non-anecdotal statistics, but apparently you wouldn't be arsed to read them). Have a good day.
This is a comment section. That means that the core arguments should be laid out here not be linked to read 95% on another platform. It's fine to link to articles after you made statements on a specific thing that you make a statement on. But now you only linked to a full article with fluff that was giving you an open position to not take a stand.
To bring it back to atheism it is already making so people are not having families. It's currently on self destruction mode and makes society look like as at the end of the Western Roman Empire. It breeds selfishness.
Holding back? At one point Dillahunty concedes that there is no way science can detect nor measure the spiritual realm nor spiritual entities, but yet he keeps trying to put the onus on people of faith to scientifically prove (or point to) the existence of God (or a god).
