Dr. Jordan B. Peterson & Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn (Dostoevsky's thinking)

Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, perhaps the greatest Russian author of the twentieth century, was an Orthodox Christian existentialist, a direct descendant of Dostoevsky's thinking, and a man who took a mighty axe to the terrible tangled roots of communist totalitarianism. He associated inauthentic being on the part of the individual, within society, with the direct degeneration of that society into tyranny and malevolence.

Trying to live morally without religion is like trying to build a boat without a blueprint.

I’m confused I thought Dostoevsky was to be put to death but there was a last minute reprieve and was sentenced to hard labor in Siberia instead? I’ve never heard of him being shot by blanks and that being the reason for his epilepsy is that true??

Image of Jesus

Make of me what you will
I can be a Catholic still
Or I can be faithful to Judaism too
You make the rules 'cause you are the fools

A Protestant I can be in this minute
Camouflage comes and goes with the finite
Dreamland is never far away
As glimmers of fantasy lead the way

Playtime is over but still you play
With the image of Jesus both night and day
Someday maybe you will learn
To stand in line and take your turn

In the present you don't want to be
Your desire is bliss for eternity

If there just happens to be a god ... (which I don’t believe is true) … then on judgment day the god will already know that because I didn’t believe he existed … unlike so many of his idolizing followers … I was not able to misquote him.

I wonder which penalty the god would judge as being more severe … not believing … or … misquoting while believing?
