See there's you're problem. You've made up your mind about God already, and just like a fundamentalist, have all your arguments all lined up and are ready to reject him immediately, but relax a second. I know I know, his Bible lecture would take a week to listen to and he just put up his Sam Harris debate and that's something like six hours, so who has the time to go through all that, I get it. I haven't even listened to any of it either but I'll try explaining anyway. When interviewers ask him if he believes in God, he'll be evasive, answer "What do you mean by God?" He never talks about faith or praying like a preacher. What he does say he believes in is the Superordinate Principle.
I read that the first debate night with Sam Harris was just the two of them agreeing on the right language. Once they figured out exactly what the other meant with the words they used, they actually got somewhere the next night. The debates were delayed so long, and now that they're out the audio is all fucked. I figure I'll have time to listen to this stuff in the fall when I have lots of work, and hopefully by then somebody from the internet will have fixed the audio.
Anyway, Peterson explained the superordinate principle with Rogan. Here's a clickbait video that has that part of it, probably won't get taken down, but it's from his second visit.
