"I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live as if there isn't and to die to find out that there is." Albert Camus

Yea, I concede to that, didn't research that it was a false quote.

My point stands. Do you personally feel you lack intellectual humility towards religion? I'm calling you out as I feel you think religious people, or religious intellectual stances, are below you. And spreading that to other people by means of exactly saying that this sub shouldn't come down to that, whereas Peterson the man himself had shown such incredible humility to these complex questions, was really quite disappointing to say the least. There is absolutely NO reason to dissuade anyone from exploring the religious worldview, intellectually or else, if you are being truly intellectually open.

I had a friend like that before. Then he read some Aquinas. Gone are his preconceived notion of atheist intellectual superiority over religious traditions.
