God Made Me Do It!

T. Joseph isn’t defending theocracy. He’s not defending corruption or abuse or dogma. He’s defending the human instinct to reach for meaning—even when it can’t be pinned down.

We build gods out of thunder, justice out of vengeance, and love out of silence. And while science can tell us how we got here, it still struggles to explain why we keep reaching for things just out of reach. Jordan Peterson vs. Sam Harris - June 23, 2018
