Meh I get what he is saying, a christians fears hell for sins a atheist does not. What is the big deal about? How on earth do we spin that explanation for hours on ats is beyond my general purpose in understanding human behavior. Unless we are arguing over what this guy said.. lol I understood what he meant lol. Actually Jordan is one of the few people that make sense these days..

Do atheist believe that there is no higher order of intelligence that operates in the universe?

I will say this: When I stepped completely out of the "God Circle" - - I felt far more personally responsible for my actions.
Atheist (lack of belief in a god/deity - - no other meaning)
There is no "Go To Guy" - - no excuses - - no forgiveness. Just ME.

Peterson is not a Christian, is CERTAINLY NOT a Christian evangelical, your premise is just staggeringly stupid
m.youtube.com...
Your assumption and argument is a complete fallacy and hence a complete failure
By Petersons own definition he is an agnostic. See the YouTube interview above before making such naive comments
Peterson does read and evaluate the bible, because he sees many interesting psychological relevant issues contained in it
A very clever well spoken man with a very concise understanding of people
To describe Peterson as a Christian evangelical, that's just dumb and completely wrong
A self confessed agnostic, Peterson does not argue as a Christian
How can you define a whole thread and argument based on such a completely wrong premise, staggeringly stupid

Easy, to better attack his position. Many are under the false assumption that Peterson is "alt-right" as well.

HITLER WAS A CHRISTIAN!!
Christopher Columbus was a Christian..
Cortez was a Christian..
Vlad the impaled..Christian
Christians killed roughly all the aborigines ..
Christians killed roughly all the native Americans..
Christians enslaved most of Africa..
Christians killed hundreds of thousands of eskimos..
Christians killed countless pagans in the Middle Ages.. BRUTALLY..
I would love to play the “what religion has the most rapes and murders” game..
Atheism is relatively new..
We have a couple thousand years of Christian atrocities to tally..

This seems rather oversimplified. It doesn't sound like he said any atheist would become a murderer simply because they are an atheist.
What I got from the video was that Peterson said a *genuine* atheist would be able to rationalize a "perfect" murder on a terrible person because they had convinced themselves that there would be no metaphysical consequences and it would be for "the greater good."

So there's no good and bad?
Depends on your definition.
Is homosexuality a sin?
However, making a claim about real people based solely on a literary character is just patently absurd.

I just don't get why we need a peaceful society for what?
Is morality inherently a form of spiritualism?
