I'm afraid the conversation you are starting is far too complicated to carry out here.
Nevertheless,
On what basis do you assume the universe to be purely material?
Do you believe in love? Hope? Are these things purely material to you?
Are they real to you? It's not about what you think. It is about how you behave.
Do you tell people you love them and mean it? Do you hope for the best?
Truth is that which is in accordance with reality, but it is not limited to the realm of facts about the structure of the material universe.
Truth also includes wisdom, which is the moral truth of the behavioral realm within which we all are submerged as human beings.
Gotta be a prank, right?

I think it got out before they were ready.
If it were planned, it wouldn't have been released in Wuhan.
I don't give a shit about what people say about him. I think Vox Day is retarded.
I also don't give a shit about what my peers think about me. I'm very antisocial.
I do give a shit about how what Jordan has to say actually seems true to me.
Vox Day is a fucking moron.
Vox Day is a fucking moron.
Jordan's 2017 lecture series from the U of Toronto about his first book Maps of Meaning.
It's a lot. 25 hours total. There's a lot to it, and it's all worth your time.
Peterson's interpretation of the Christ story in particular was a big turning point for me.
LMAO You don't get to decide such things.
I read the first few pages of Vox Day's book (or something) about Jordan, and was amazed at just how wrong he got it.
He doesn't understand what Jordan is saying, at all.
Nice. As a former lifelong atheist, it's weird to say, because it's so specific and new it comes across like a cult to some.
It's not a cult, of course. I just appreciate Peterson's literary interpretation of the Bible much more than any literal interpretation.
It's not like I have an altar to Peterson in my office [...yet]
I don't know what a Pauline Christian is.
Jordan Peterson's interpretation of the story of Christ is the only one that makes moral sense to me. He completely changed my mind about the value of the Bible and of belief in God.
Exactly. They'll need some other evidence.
I was an atheist for most of my life and am now what I call a Petersonian Christian.
I've never discounted what people say based on their religion, especially if what they are saying has nothing to do with religion.
If my car won't start and a good mechanic says I need a new alternator, I don't just laugh and ignore him because he's Hindu.
Joe Biden cares about no one more than Joe Biden.
He'll turn on them to save himself. He'll buckle to the more immediate threat.
Thank you for getting her more views!
I saw it in the theater as a wee lad. Her description of that scene was spot on.
It was intense.
Agreed, but we need to keep our eye on those who can still inflict damage.
Biden can hardly make it to the bathroom.
I agree, but he's not much of a threat anymore. He's the walking dead.
Yeah, but tracing the precinct level fraud up to those really responsible will be difficult, I think.
Also, the MEDIA includes big tech.
And, the CCP includes all international commies.
I'm summarizing for maximum pithiness.
Forgot SOROS though.
He deserves his own enemy designation.
I get it. Trump has my axe.
I include them in OBAMA.
Revelations 69 advocates ayahuasca and weed, I think.
