First of all, I'm not sure why posting the text for the video we literally just had linked was you doing homework.  Yes, we've all seen that video already.  I understand English, and know what words he said.


Quote: But it is also not clear that we can return safely to past certainties, real or imagined. There may be much we have to rescue from our damaged traditions, but all of it will have to be viewed in a new light, if it is going to function and live.

When you read this, do you really think that he's trying to bring back religion in general, or Christianity in specific?  His intent is pretty clear, but you seem to be quoting it to support a different point entirely.
1. I posted text because i wanted to focus on one specific point 

2.As i said he endorses religion in a belief in belief manor not in a literal manor and were you get the idea i'm proposing he wants to bring religion in the literal sense back i have no idea . But he clearly believes that belief in belief is functional . Just as i originally said .

Quote:A proponent for a particular religion nope a proponent of religion yes at least the belief in belief kind

I like this.
Think I'll go ahead and watch the rest of the contrapoints videos.
As for Jordon Peterson, I don't agree with everything he says, in fact much of what he says, but some things I do and he's no idiot and also has credentials.
And that is the seductive, intellectual trap that a lot of young intelligent men seem to be falling into, similar, in my opinion, to Ben Shapiro's approach.
Both men are highly intelligent, seem to have all the answers and cater to people who are unsure of themselves and their place in the world.
I love Contra Points i know him/her we use to be on Kristy Winters Discord before it was disbanded. He/she is just as funny when not scripted .Gotta try and get in contact with he/her again .
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
