Around the 7:50 mark Jordan says he was convinced a long time ago that belief in Christ was a way of living. Then says it gives him a "holy terror." It reminded me of Isaiah's reaction to seeing God in chapter 6 of his book (re. the post I made here two years ago). I'm glad to hear a world-famous influencer say such a thing. What has long bothered me about our culture is that we used to call ourselves a "God-fearing nation." In my lifetime it's given way to what I like to call "Boomer Theology" absent of it. Its humanist self-love based on Aleister Crowley's motto/commandment, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law," found a home in our culture, and tragically in so many of our modern churches. What's all the more remarkable is that the rich and famous Jordan Peterson says this. Possessing those two Paradisical benefits typically spawn a belief in one's own personal godhood. The fear of the real God has no place in the soul of a human god. Something has evidently worked deeper in him than those things. It seems to me it came from his being convinced long ago that belief in Jesus is a way of life. The terror for him could then be the possibility of losing these enviable benefits because of it.
