I like Dr. Jordan Peterson.\u00a0 He exudes a kind of \u2026 intellectual nakedness \u2026 that seems to be sorely lacking in modern discourse.\u00a0 A willingness to think and to be wrong and to adjust some thoughts accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He doesn\u2019t appear entrenched<\/em>, shall we say \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recently he explained that the Bible is not only the first Book written, it is also the first Book written.<\/p>\n\n\n\n See, I like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What happened was \u2026 the Gutenberg Bible is the first book ever printed (in the West, anyway \u2026 I\u2019m sure China was doing its thing for a long time prior digress<\/em>), and at one point, it was the only book in the whole wide world (well, mostly \u2026 there was always China) and the only book folks could (who could, anyway) read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I like that, a whole lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Anyhoo, back to Dr. P \u2026 just said he\u2019s not an atheist anymore, and went on to explain that belief is not words or statements or proclamations but action<\/em> \u2026 and he acts as if God exists (He does, btw \u2026 always on point) and he further clarifies that the difference between Jesus Christ and all the other \u2026 s \u2026 is that Christ is a historical figure, proof of his existence, whereas the other \u2026 s \u2026 are steeped firmly in myth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Me myself we (all in here) are firm believers in Christ and His power (Power?) because I\u2019\/we\u2019ve lived the proof, seen it, smelt it, hugged it, so no questions over here, \u2018cept the day of His Judgment (now that<\/em> is capitalized!) and that right early {Psalms 46:5<\/em>} so no worries on this side of the intersphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Where was I oh yes Whoopi Goldberg just got suspended for speaking against the Jews. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, being of Hollywood, she should know better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Speaking against the Jews brings down the hammer, not just \u2018cuz they are God\u2019s chosen people, or because they are the principalities and powers and rulers of this world, but because that whole Holocaust\/genocidal attempt tends to make folks a mite testy, and for good reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Squash that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Jews are a race based on religion, or their religion is their race, maybe. Dunno.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But what I do know is that when I heard of Whoopi\u2019s whoops \u2014 specifically, comments to the effect of \u201cThe Holocaust was not based on race.\u201d \u2014 my immediate reaction was: \u201cWhat? Jews aren\u2019t a race; they\u2019re a religion.\u201d But then I remember Dr. Peterson, and his willingness to examine self, and I realized that both she and I were wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The discussion should not have gone that direction, first \u2026 the Holocaust was man\u2019s evil on cloven hoof, bearing a tiny little moustache \u2026 but, and more importantly, the Jews are a race of people defined by their religion \u2026 some races are based on skin color, some on eye shape, some on geography.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n But regardless, she should have left that alone.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n God chose the Jews as the people through whom (womb) to bring His Son.\u00a0 \u2018Nuff said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I like Dr. Jordan Peterson.\u00a0 He exudes a kind of \u2026 intellectual nakedness \u2026 that seems to be sorely lacking in modern discourse.\u00a0 A willingness to think and to be wrong and to adjust some thoughts accordingly.
