On Claiming Belief In God: Discussion with Dennis Prager

I talked with Dennis Prager at the Prager Summit in May in Santa Barbara. It's really a discussion about two previous talks, for a collection of three. I would recommend watching them in the following order:

My father taught me many of these concepts and it has served me well throughout my 74 years. Jordan Peterson and Dennis Prager are truly a gift to humanity, as my father was a gift to me.

What makes Peterson extraordinary is, he will sit on a stage,
in front of anyone, and courageously examine the depths of his own soul,
while most people I know are so fearful that, they won't even do that in
the privacy and solitude of their own bedroom.

From a Muslim Middle Eastern, not that I use this as identity more like a proof, Peterson you have changed my life. I grew up in Saudi Arabia until the age of 20, and I was force fed all the toxic group identity doctrines you talked about. Now I feel free, you have freed me from all that. I have found a meaning to life. Thank you so much!

I particularly love how Dennis lets him go. He lets him speak, doesn’t interject, and truly listens. As we all should.

[aytchroberts]

I weep tears of joy hearing Jordan’s amazing wisdom and honesty. May God bless him with a full recovery to health and sustain him through all the many trials he is sure to endure.

[randyburrill]

Every time he talks about strangers telling him the positive impact he's had on their life, he gets emotional. That's proof to me he is a good man.

[jacden]

The fact that Jordan Peterson's humility, honesty, and depth of being can bring an old man like me to tears and touch my spirit make me so thankful that Jordan Peterson is on this planet.

Almost made me cry- such sincerity. “Only 200 people” signed a petition, how that didn’t destroy him emotionally speaks to his inner strength. Something similar happened to me in Grade 8, all the kids but one ganged up on me, conspired together to hurt me. Took years to get over it. So I learned very young that people in groups can be cruel. But I also learned that 1 person’s kindness can make the world of difference and make even the most wicked human acts somehow survivable.

I am a 50 year old Korean-American man, who witnessed his father slowly work and drink himself to death over 45 years. Your explanation of the Pinocchio parable healed me more than I can express. Thank God for you Dr. Peterson! You have made me a believer! ❤ 🙏

[Petermarak]

I'm getting emotional watching this. I wish nothing but the best for this man. Truly a rare gem.

[iay]

"I thank God He made you." That is the greatest compliment ever. Thanks JP. God bless you!

[TheHumanSpirit]

In my lifetime, I've never known of a man as both earnest and culturally prominent as Jordan Peterson. And so totally courageous in pursuit of Truth. Lionheart...

It lifts the spirit to observe such people.

[MaryQueenOfDots]

“If there is great darkness, there has to be a great light.”
Is exactly what brought me to take my first steps into faith.

"I would never claim to be good. I think it's dangerous. But I did become terrified about how terrible I could be."

[bcfriardoyle]

Here’s why Peterson’s message works: 1. He talks about everything 2. He’s honest about it all, spills his guts even cries on stage 3. His analysis is clear and with good examples without scientific wording. 4. And then he tells us: his job is AS GOOD AS IT GETS!

[myopicseer]

I am so thankful for this man, Jordan Peterson. He is pouring out his tortured pursuit of the Truth and Meaning with such honest expression. He is a giant of our age.

[ABCBUGGYNZ]

"Wow!!" this guy blows my mind away!! All the comments below far exceed me for praise, but I'm so pleased this man is living on earth at the same time I am...

[donnaregier]

I am a Canadian, so proud of this truly good man.Mostly I love his humility.💞

[yup]

God only knows what you’d be if you truly believed in God. His answer about how intense really believing in God is made me cry uncontrollably.

A stumbled across JP at 17 when a part of his lecture was in a video about how to get girls. Finding JP and reading his book had nothing but a positive impact on me. Mainly, I discovered the podcasting world where I’m able to learn from people like him, Joe Rogan, Jocko Willink, and Andy Stumpf, people which continue to improve my life everyday.

Overall, I haven’t gotten the girl, but I did clean my room, started martial arts, read a bunch of books, improved my family relationships, and began to understand myself like never did before. JP was the catalyst to that domino effect, and I can’t thank him enough.
