-my take, btw.... grifty grifters gotta grift, and I get that someone being a shameless lair about so many things can make a person suspect that other is a shameless liar about everything, sure - but all of his public persona probably has at least a little bit to do with trying to be that transfigured man and validate his peculiar sense of christian self worth by moving some mountain. Unfortunately, he picked the mountain of progress. Good luck Sisyphus.
(and all of this, ofc, is colored by my already being aware of that line of horseshit in christiana. It's considered a profound and pious quip in some circles to say that you believe in christ, but are working on being a christian. It's a crowd favorite at hypercritical fundy churches...that also just so happen to spout off Jordy P's abhorrent political beliefs, as well.)
Here's cbn, in a story about his daughter becoming born again, riffing off that very same comment.

This spring, Jordan Peterson told Orthodox Christian artist Jonathan Pageau that he is at a stage in his life in which he is open to finding faith in Jesus.
“The difference — and C.S. Lewis pointed this out as well — between those mythological gods and Christ was that there’s a historical representation of his existence as well,” the elder Peterson said. “[S]o what you have in the figure of Christ is an actual person who actually lived plus a myth, and, in some sense, Christ is the union of those two things.”
“The problem is I probably believe that but I’m amazed at my own belief, and I don’t understand it,” he continued, clearly becoming emotional. “Because I’ve seen, sometimes, the objective world and the narrative world touch — you know, that’s union synchronicity. And I’ve seen that many times in my own life and so, in some sense, I believe it’s undeniable.”
