DCP: Homophobia is "a nonsense word."

[_Doctor CamNC4Me]

I wonder how many times he’s checked this thread (AND BOARD!) and thus we’ll see some claim on sic et non of some critic criticizing poor Mr. Peterson and his pedanticisms.

Have you ever heard the story of Julian the Apostate?

It’s one of the most convincing miracles in Christianity. Julian was angry at God for showing him his weaknesses, and he allied himself with the Jews and attempted to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, disproving Christ’s prophecy.

This didn’t go as planned.

As soon as the foundation was laid, an earthquake rocked the site so hard the Earth split open, fireballs shout out, burning and swallowing men whole. This event is attested to by Christian, Jewish, and Pagan sources.

Right on que isn't he?

How about Dan-the-man comment on King Pharaoh, whose name is given in the characters above his head?

What's the name?

What on earth is he talking about?:

But please understand that I don't disapprove of "homosexuality" as such any more or in any different sense than I disapprove of male pattern baldness or obsessive-compulsive disorder or left-handedness or a German accent or near-sightedness.

Like those things, it simply is. It has no moral significance in and of itself.

Elsewhere, he says that "bigot" is really the better word to describe the kinds of attitudes he embraces. All righty, then--whatever shoe fits!

Speaking of nonsense, this comment is just irresponsible:

The impression I get from the APA (American Psychological Association) is that if you have a teenage son who plays video games an average of three hours a day, that your son is an addict and is in desparate need of therapy.

However, if your teenage daughter wants to have sex with the girls on the cheerleading squad, that you have a responsibility as a parent to encourage her. If you do not encourage her, you are labelled as a homophobe and instructed that you are in need of therapy.

So let’s get this straight.

1. BYU changes policy and HCO allows homosocial behavior. BYU students and many faculty rejoice in progress toward becoming more Christlike. And... Peterson and cohorts are utterly silent on the matter for two long weeks.

2. BYU has that policy reversed back to original form by CES leadership. BYU student body fractures and protests ensue. More than $30k is raised in 3 days to help traumatized LGBTQ students offset transfer fees to apply to other schools. Faculty and senior administrators are in tears in closed door meetings (source: confidential), themselves feeling betrayed by church leadership. Queer students and their families and friends are apoplectic all over social media. Steve Young, who bears the school’s namesake tweets support for BYU’s marginalized LGBTQ students. And... Peterson claims he hasn’t hardly noticed a damn thing, labels homophobia a nonsense word and offers two extremely lame treatises explaining why he’s right.

Someone needs to get off their phone or laptop and go outside and give some students a hug. For God’s sake man, take a break from the pharisaical blogging and go do something helpful.
