Do You Believe in God ?

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2024

Montreal, Quebec

The following is an interview between Piers and Jordan Peterson.


Piers—P

Jordan Peterson—JP


P   :- Do you believe in God? 

JP :- I don’t think that’s anybody’s business.

         I think it’s the most private question you could ask someone, but                                                                          

         then I would also say “by their fruits you will know them.”

         How’s that ?

P   :- Then let me ask a different question. Do you think there is a God ?

JP :- I’m terrified that there might be, Piers, how’s that ? I’m not trying to be  

         a smartass when I’m making that comment either… From the Old 

         Testament “the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom.”

         That is actually about as true a statement as you can manage in such a

         short phrase. What do you mean by belief ? I’ll stake my life on the 

         preposition that God exists. How’s that ?

P   :- Here’s my supplementary. Do you ever pray ?

JP :- Always.

P.   :- Who do you pray to ?

JP :- The spirit that protects you from hell.

P.   :- But that, many people would say “that’s God.”

JP :- Hey, sounds good to me !
