Au contraire.. I listened to his condescending lectures. He does speak some truth, no doubt. He is not an apologist for the Gospel. I will grant it that he is an advocate for free speech. That is all he offers. Until he thinks about it, then he will let you know what to think. He actually said that in a lecture.. If you want to listen to an academic who actually is an apologist, try Dr Micheal Hieser.
I’ve heard hours of his lectures, both criticizing social justice as the reincarnation of communism and his Biblical lectures.
I’ve also read “12 Rules for Life”.
Oh, I see where you are coming from.
You're evaluating Peterson and his defense of Christianity from a position of personal bias. Very Christian of you. /s
I have read Michael Heiser. I like him.

There are some on FR that, for whatever reason, just don't like Peterson. Nothing you (or Peterson) can say will change their minds or get them beyond their self-righteousness.
Re: Obviously you don’t listen to Peterson very much.
He is an apologist for Christianity in that he logically points out that it is the Truth and the foundation of Western Civilization. He also points out regularly that each and every human beings is dangerous and capable of great evil...and in need of a Redeemer.
He is not an evangelical but has come to see Christianity as the Truth from his perspective as a scientist.
We need scientists who can defend Christianity from a scientific POV.

Great succinct description
What is heartening is, despite all the post-modern propaganda young men, in particular, seem to be thirsting for his message.
Peterson's message of personal responsibility really resonates with a lot of young men who are frankly vulnerable to the lies and propaganda spread by colleges and universities and society in general.
I can't for the life of me understand why some Freepers are so against Peterson considering the good he has done for our side. Their animosity appears to be an emotional reaction. It certainly isn't logical.
