@gardenjoy5223 If Jordan was a Muslim or a Hindu ... or ... a Liberal ... would you be thinking he was BRILLIANT?
You only approve of what he preaches ... because it was what you already believed ... before you ever heard him speak.
If Jordan gets away with becoming a multi-millionaire by USING his license as a psychologist to counsel millions of people on his media sites ... then all other psychologists and psychiatrists should also have the same privilege as Jordan … because why would they want to sit in their offices, counseling one or two or five people at a time for a pittance, when they can do as Jordan did by going on social media and become mega-famous … and … mega-wealthy?
And as citizens, we should be wary of the fact that therapists don't even come close to agreeing with each other’s type of “counsel.”
Jordan insists on preaching from his Christian bible. So, that would give Muslim psychologist “the right” to use their licenses to preach Islam on social media … and Wiccan Psychologists to preach Wicca on social media … et cetera.
Don't you think that we are in a big enough mess already?
Bill Maher, sitting with Doctor Phil on Club Random said … “I’ve always thought shrinks were the craziest people in the world. Is that wrong?”
Doctor Phil’s response … “Well, I saw a study a long time ago that said most, and I don’t know if it was bullsh*t or what, but it said that an awful lot of people go into psychology originally because they are all screwed up and they think if they study it, they’ll figure it out and get better.”
Bill’s response … “Right… that’s interesting.”
And Doctor Phil continued … “And I saw a follow up that said, ‘Did it work?’ And it said, ‘not even almost.’”

Thanks for honoring free speech.
Those who are psychologists should not be out in the public sphere, playing party politics … and preaching their personalized religion as being truth from a god, or from anywhere else.
I listened to the other television preacher Phil McGraw, saying in an interview on television, that he is PROUD to be a Christian.
If as a child, you thought you were transgender ... which psychologist would YOU hope your parents would choose as their advisers?
Phil McGraw is transgender friendly supportive of their journeys, and Jordan Peterson is the exact opposite. In January Jordan claimed on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast that being transgender is a result of a “social contagion” and similar to “satanic ritual abuse,” and suggested that acceptance of the trans community is a sign that “civilization’s collapsing.”
You can't trust a psychologist to KNOW what is right or wrong for your personal journey?
A short while back, I learned of a case where two parents that didn't agree, took their two children to a family session for psychological counseling.
After the session, the husband (father of the children) went home and hung himself.
I suggest that you do NOT trust psychologists to guide your life, as they are just ordinary people, with ordinary opinions ... who do not even agree with each other's "counsel."
Add religion to THAT mix ... and you will have REAL problems.

@scout2469 "Let thy will be done," doesn't mean to pray to a god to fix anything ... unless of course he WANTS to intervene.
It just means "I won't try to pretend what god wills for me ... or for others."
I'm an Atheist now, so I don't believe the scribes were taking messages from gods "in the first place" ... but I do believe they were all imaging what a god would say ... IF the god existed.
Example ... from the book TALK TALK
TALK
By Jay Ingram … an investigation into the mystery of speech …
If it sounds all too bizarre, take Jaynes’s favorite example, Homer’s Iliad. This epic poem comes down to us, Jaynes argues, from pre-conscious or bicameral times. He claims that there are almost no examples in the Iliad of anyone acting on his own free will, or making decisions of any kind that aren’t dictated by the gods. They never sit down and decide what to do. When Agamemnon steals Achilles’ mistress, a god warns Achilles not to retaliate. Gods start the quarrels that cause the war, gods plan the strategy, a god leads the armies into battle, a god whispers to Helen, gods do everything. When Achilles reminds Agamemnon that he has stolen his mistress, Agamemnon replies, “Not I was the cause of the act, but Zeus …” The Iliad is only one example: there are many others that can be interpreted as showing that people at that time needed their own auditory hallucinations to act.

@kalburgy2114 I don't believe Jesus was anything other than myth. But if you believe is real ... which religion do you believe he would support as being his one and only truth ... Judaism ... Catholicism ... or Protestantism?
At 70 years of age, I became an Atheist. I'm 84 now.
Thankfully … now that hundreds of members of clergy are leaving religion behind ... there is hope for everyone.
From the book ... Apostle to Apostate: The Story of the Clergy Project … authors … Catherine Dunphy, Richard Dawkins
When you are reared to think of your faith and its leaders as infallible, dissent can be an unsettling thing. This is particularly true for clergy, who have devoted their lives to the subject of faith. I therefore especially hope that this story reaches those clergy who have yet to articulate their doubts.
As they struggle through this process, I am thankful that they can look to the Clergy Project as an example of community and humanism as an example of good. As former clergy who have left churches of every denomination, synagogues, mosques, convents, monasteries, and theological institutions, we stand as examples of the reasonableness of doubt and its thoughtful conclusions. I cannot help but think that we offer a compelling voice for why science and secularism do a better job than religion and superstition of answering the so-called ultimate questions.

@studio28music97 Your words were "I didn't mention others. We should strive to fight against evil wherever we may encounter it. Within or outside of ourselves."
And my suggestion to you is ... that you should never believe you see EVIL in others ... OR ... in yourself ... because that type of thinking drove many people to commit murder and suicide.
If you think of yourself as being in the same boat as others because of having problems ... that removes the religious word EVIL out of your thoughts.
The word EVIL was created by ancient men that were convinced that an EVIL DEVIL was REAL and was trying to LEAD THEM and others INTO TEMPTATION!
Religion never was ... and is NOT ... good.

@kalburgy2114 Within twisted theology ... if Jesus believed that he was not good ... why trust him ... or worship him? The double-talk of religion, drove many humans to insanity and to suicide.

@scout2469 For theologians to teach devotees that prayers will be “answered” … leads to great disappointments.
And why would the devotees in the following story not WANT the soul of the child to go to heaven … if they believe that heaven is a desired place TO go?
From the book … Does This Mean You'll See Me Naked?: Field Notes from a Funeral Director ... author Robert Webster
Never have I seen the holidays more prominent than in the case of a minister's seven-year-old daughter. She was afflicted with erythroblastosis and finally succumbed, outliving her doctor's predictions by three years. She died in late November. This charismatic minister and several of his flock waited for me to arrive at the hospital to take his child to the funeral home. I placed her little body in the vehicle, and the entire group returned to their cars to follow me. The pastor-led mourners even accompanied me into the preparation room and assisted me in placing the girl on the table.
My waiting employer and I soon learned that the assembled congregation planned to keep vigil while we embalmed the body. As soon as the doors closed, they began chanting, wailing, and saying desperate heart-felt prayers--and they continued for hours. I wept as I worked, hearing this heartbroken clergy, his wife, and his friends pleading with God to please bring their little girl back to life. Of course, it was not to be, and even I felt a little cheated on their behalf that God did not answer prayers so genuinely offered.

@joelandsharonoas7315 I became tired of theologians of all religions pulling the wool over their follower's eyes, and so I decided to do something about it by exposing the lies.
Atheist ... "Do you know for certain that a god exists?
Theologian ... "YES I DO?
Atheist ... Do you know what the god knows?
Theologian ... "NO!. I do NOT! What God knows is beyond all human ability TO know."
Atheist ... "Then why are you pretending that you do know?"
