Jordan Peterson interview of Brian Muraresku and Carl Ruck

Jordan Peterson: 37:00
Are you still a practicing Christian?
Brian Muraresku:
I very much still consider myself a Christian in the way I learned about it from the Jesuits; which was largely about social justice and contemplative mysticism and of being of service.
I was taught to be a man for others and in that sense, yeah, I still consider myself a Christian; maybe even more so after discovering the pagan roots of this faith and what I do think is an interesting way for Christianity to sit with these mystery traditions and the possibility that in these early centuries of paleoChristianity, there was a type of Christianity that clearly attracted people and I think it’s the kind of Christianity that attracts me today, two thousand years later.
This notion of personal direct experience of the divine. Something was happening in those centuries to turn this carpenter’s son into the most famous human being who ever lived. Something was happening for this illegal cult of a dozen or so illiterate day labourers to convert the entire Roman Empire in only a couple centuries and become the world’s biggest religion.
(Muraresku obviously has no idea what a Christian is; he is a Pagan cult follower who needs to be spiritually born again. He denigrates Jesus in the exact same way as the murmuring unbelievers of John 6:42)

Jordan Peterson: 1:36:15
I would be interested in your take on this, you’ve had these experiences, you’re a trained classicist, what is this reality that’s being laid out in these experiences and how do you understand it?
Carl Ruck:
I think of it as a journey to discover who you are, and when you go on this journey it gets dangerous and you feel maybe you should turn back but just up ahead it looks as though it might be even more interesting being up there, so you go further and further, and further and further. When you get to the end of the journey, what you find is yourself looking back.
There, I mean, I said, I’m not gonna found your church, but there is no God, you’re so stupid, don’t you realize that you are God?
(Similar to Muraresku, Ruck has also been blinded by Satan to adopt Pagan cult ritual as a valid replacement for repentance. He denies the existence of God while simultaneously elevating himself as his own deity.)

Jordan Peterson: 1:49:40
There’s an ethical idea, too, you know, I mean before the ancient Hebrews encountered the God of the Ark of the Covenant, they purified themselves ethically, that’s something to be cognizant of. (The shocked reaction of Muraresku is priceless.) If the layers of reality are peeled back and the distinction between good and evil is drawn for you, you want to be sure you’re as far away from the malevolence in your own spirit as you can possibly be, and that’s no joke.

Carl Ruck 1:50:58
Christ is a hellenized Jewish tradition. Christ is a Greek deity, the Christian story is a Greek myth, (Ruck gives a devilish grin as he presents three lies in succession, one after another.)
Jordan Peterson:
You’re participating in something of staggering significance. 1:59:00
(Peterson reveals his own ignorance of spiritual truth with this ridiculous summation statement.).
