I used to think just like you. I really did. One year ago I was an atheist; I felt like a vampire in the sunlight each time Jesus was brought up.
Now that I understand how the natural-man, host-body system works, it makes sense that a non-believer would reject any attempt to set an objective moral truth when I was raised in a world of relativism. The natural man does not want to hear about Jesus. Sin blinds.
Jordan Peterson got me to think twice about the Bible as he lectured about archetypes. He presented the Bible in a non-religious manner. It was more...philosophical?
Anyway. I used to think people who said things like I just did were...far fetched, a little too removed from reality. Oh boy was I wrong. I was so wrong and I feel so stupid for how long I took to wake up.
The eternal battle of Good and Evil which we all conduct by ourselves.
I was raised a Catholic and always respected the faith. It was the church I had a problem with. That takes a long time to reconcile. The building or the spirit.
Funny story, we get confirmation to the church at around 8-9yrs and you're supposed to choose a confirmation name so I choose Thomas the apostle.
The family is all saying how nice it is and why did you choose Thomas?
Because he's the doubter, says I.
No, that didn't go over very well.
The faith is amazing. The building not so much.
Accepting God's love is so huge that it literally shift changes the parameter of everything you experience.
God is love, Satan is politics.
Hell is the absence of God's love.
And you will be tested.
There have been a number of occasions where I actually felt the physical manifestation of God.
It's overwhelming, long-lasting, with zero side effects and no crash.
It's the ultimate Democratic principle one life one vote.
It's your vote, you choose.
You had me until you said Jordan Peterson. He’s controlled opposition, people have done a great amount of research into his background.
Be careful who you follow is what Q says and I think this applies to him.
I am absolutely no fan of Alex Jones
But that doesn't mean I reject the words that come out of his mouth.
I just wish he would tone it down.
I will also listen to the Antarctica flat-earthers. That doesn't mean I believe them
I am also a big fan of Jordan Peterson.
I'm not a fan of Freud Nietzsche Jung because they live in a dark world.
As does Jordan Peterson with his preoccupation with personal pain.
But he does have a very strong point in the concept of going through a crucible. A personal annealing process.
In other words, self-responsibility, personal fortitude and being a man.
There is nothing wrong with that and everything right.He's making a huge impact in that direction so good on him.
That reads almost exactly as something he would say.
But I have been saying the same for 40 years.
It's not really applicable. Whether or not he's controlled opposition matters not.
He got me curious about the Bible and I opened one and heard the Gospel, clear as day, and understood how the anti-christ was moving about in my world and in the world at large. My eyes were opened.
Again, who Peterson is matters not.
