I am Dr. Jordan B Peterson, U of T Professor, clinical psychologist, author of 12 Rules for Life and Maps of Meaning, and creator of The Self Authoring Suite. Ask me anything!

Hi Dr. Peterson, first off just want to say I've tried the self authoring program and found it very helpful. A lot of people aren't comfortable with the idea of going in and talking to a therapist but that program lets you kind of figure stuff out on your own through that same process.

Anyway I was wondering about the 'Christianity/God' question - you claim that you duck it because your answer is 'too complex' for a short answer and you think it's only being asked as 'a trap'.

But how can that question be a trap if you ACTUALLY believe the Bible is true and the God in it is actually real?

Isn't the real problem that no one can logically argue that point?
