The Definition of Sophistry
February 21, 2018
HOW DO you answer a question without really answering it?
How do you stay on the good side of Christians without coming right out and saying, “You know, that whole thing about Jesus rising from the dead — it’s a fable.”
The Canadian intellectual Jordan Peterson shows you how.

Jordan Peterson, darling of the alt-right, can’t answer question about the Jews, hatred, and the Holodomor either.

After watching this interview, I think you are mistaken on Dr. Peterson. Your question, given the time and place, would better be framed thus:
“How do you stay on the good side of NON- Christians and say, “You know, that whole thing about Jesus rising from the dead — it’s TRUE.””
Billy Graham had his way of spreading the Gospel. Dr. Peterson may have his.

I bought one of Peterson’s books having forgotten his interview on TVO (Steve Paikin’s program) and his dilly-dallying on almost every topic. He is a classic modern man – or I should say, a classic modern white man. I was going to return the book but decided to keep it to do a book review and send it out to interested parties.
