JT, in the same vein that Rees Morgue (patron saint of food banks) is a "barmaids version of a gentlemen"
Jorden Peterson is the "stupid's persons version of someone intelligent"
I get he lights up those neurons in your brain with his "oh so easy answers" - but resist the easy temptation to buy into his bullsh1t

Im assuming by definition you understand your own profession correct? So to push and pontificate a generic solution to a global issue which is others lives is very short sighted. For example if a individual has a behavioural issue deep rooted in a misconception that religion gives them the right to abuse others would be an ill advised answer correct? Or have I misunderstood your pastitent overtly religious preaching? Or is it just your religion that has unlocked the key to global harmony? It just seems odd that for somebody so enlightened and so well educated (by virtue of your degree) that your so lacking in understanding or openness to others plight?

You are correct, I did slightly rant. So to polarise. Do you have anything meaningful to bring to society other than a belief that has no factual existence? I hope my point is clearer? It just appears you believe that regurgitating script based on nothing but hearsay will save us all? Please correct me (and educate me) if I am wrong?
We could all do the same! “Mathew, chapter one, “Izzy wizzy let’s get busy”. I’ve met Mathew, he’s real. Alas he still has his puppets.

From: riding the crest of a wave ...
We have several ways to understand the Lord. The vast majority of historians, atheist or otherwise, accept that Jesus of Nazareth walked our planet, taught a radical message of love and was crucified. Many scholars, like Peterson, also see Him as an archetype - a picture of the very best human imaginable. Then you have Christians like me who accept the previous two positions and who also believe through faith that Jesus was and is the Son of God. Jesus existed historically, exists archetypically and exists through faith as Saviour for hundreds of millions of people across the globe. So, what is it that you do not believe? His historicity, His archetype or His divinity?
I wonder what the scoobynet conversion rate has been , over the years ?

The Parable of the Sower
That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat by the lake. Such large crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat in it, while all the people stood on the shore. Then he told them many things in parables, saying: “A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up. Some fell on rocky places, where it did not have much soil. It sprang up quickly, because the soil was shallow. But when the sun came up, the plants were scorched, and they withered because they had no root. Other seed fell among thorns, which grew up and choked the plants. 8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”

No no, everyone knows it's the Easter Bunny that comes bearing eggs...
There're not many times when celebs pass away, that I'm emotionally invested. But Rik Mayal, Paul Walker and George Michael shocked me for sure. Gutted.
I know I'll feel the same way when Stephen Fry leaves us...

Yabbadoo4, I actually reviewed the book I recommended and it was recorded. I tried to upload the mp3 here, but the file was too big. I noticed you have your email address listed on your profile page so I’ve taken the liberty of sending it to you. I’d be glad to hear your feedback.
