Jordan Peterson and Tom Holland have changed Christian/Atheist debates. This was clearly seen in the Unbelievable matchup between Matt Dillahunty and Glen Scrivener. 1/5
The New Atheists have for a decade now scored points challenging the Bible as failing to live up to contemporary moral standards of partisan culture war positions dismissing God as a fictional character like Santa Clause or the Tooth Fairy 2/5
what Holland and Peterson have shown is that this character as acted out in Jesus Christ was essential for the development of moral standards embraced across the culture war divide. 3/5
Jesus Christ fulfilled the seeding of the Imago Dei in the book of Genesis and over the long march of the history of Western Civilization 4/5
the culture has achieved a level of agreement over the value of human life even though we constantly fail to fully live it out or agree on the details. This debate plays out those themes. 5/5
@UnbelievableJB @glenscrivener @Matt_Dillahunty @holland_tom @jordanbpeterson This is pretty much what @Friended4Ever is asking for, except he wants Christians to let go of God #2
