Greg was on the show for episode 16 to discuss his excellent book, “Eggs Are Expensive, Sperm Is Cheap,” and he has a new book out engaging with Jordan Peterson’s thought.Here is an excerpt:Dr. Peterson’s God is the apex of the moral hierarchy. He’s what we encounter when new possibilities emerge. He’s the intuition that warns when a storm is gathering. He’s the voice of conscience. He’s the internal spirit that calls us to adventure. He’s the Logos or rationality that undergirds the world. He’s King of Kings and Lord of Lords. What he is not, as far as I can see, is the one who says, “Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.” He’s not the one who tells the thief on the cross that he’ll be in paradise that very day.Greg’s links:* Wresting with Jordan Peterson’s God on Amazon* Crow Hill Publishing* His author page on Amazon (he’s got some great short fiction)* Beer and Conversations with Pigweed and Crowhill podcast* Previous appearance on the show Get full access to Close Minded Podcast at www.closemindedpodcast.com/subscribe
