    So, I haven’t heard much about JP in a while,and now I’ve heard a podcast and this. Is it just coincidence or is there a reason we’re talking about him again? The podcast mentioned he’d gone on some show debating Christianity with 20 atheists. It went as you might imagine, where jp argued that atheists were Christian because they didn’t understand the thing they say they don’t believe in. Idk. Anyway – any other reason I’m hearing about him again?

      It’s mostly just that. The whole thing was a mess. The atheists were told they would be debating a Christian and prepared as such, but he won’t define himself as a Christian. So much time is wasted dancing around that. They had to change the title from Christian debates to Jordan Peterson debates. On top of that he will barely engage properly, saying things like he won’t entertain a hypothetical because he wouldn’t allow himself to get in that situation in the first place. Just generally not acting in good faith.
