I think I've figured out the reason for his infamous refusal to give a straight answer when asked if he believes that Christ was the Son of God or in the resurrection.

It's about lying. He is obsessed with telling the truth under any circumstances. This has come up in his past public statements, and it came up again in that recent 20 Atheists vs. a Christian, er, Jordan Peterson video on YouTube. He is a Kantian on the subject. To lie is gravely immoral. And the principle is fundamental in Judaism and Christianity--it's one of the Ten Commandments.

So by his own code, he can't lie. But he is a modern, rational, educated man. He just can't bring himself to believe it more likely than not that a man was the Son of God and rose from the dead. So if he's asked if he believes it, he can't simply say he does, because that would be lying. But he also doesn't want to weaken the power of what he thinks is a beautiful faith tradition by admitting it's probably not literally true, even though there is a lot of wisdom and beauty in it.

So he's in a bind. The best he can do is equivocate and obfuscate. Refuse to give a straight answer.

He wants people to believe Republicans have magic jew powers.

He's a Christian Atheist, and yes that is a thing although the idea of Christian Atheism is mostly hypothetical until once in a blue moon when someone like Jordon Peterson stumbles and trips over himself because he's one of those retards that believe religion is important for society even if it isn't real and can't elaborate on why without resorting to obtuse rhetoric.

I think he's just a grifter who got famous for speaking out against a controversial law during a time where being right-wing was the cool counterculture thing to do, and his 15 minutes of fame expired a long time ago

>Christian Atheist

>But he is a modern, rational, educated man. He just can't bring himself to believe it more likely than not that a man was the Son of God and rose from the dead.

"Spiritual but not religious."

It's actually very common, most just tend to lie about it.

It's common with conservatives, they want to be Christian to give their ideas legitimacy and give themselves the moral high ground. They have to selectively focus on certain parts of the bible to try and turn Christianity from a universal religion into some blood and soil shit. It does make sense though, spiritual and emotional arguments are stronger at rallying people than rational ones.

>by his own code, he can't lie

Except he lies a lot, and he is not even a good liar. He once said that one time he didn't sleep for a month because of a health issue, which is obviously medically impossible.
