    :jordan-eboy-peterson: "Remember when pride was a sin? And Ellen Page just had her breasts removed by a criminal physician."

    What does this even mean?

      "Pride", or really hubris, overweening pride, is one of the "Seven sins" classically recognized in Christian theology. Peterson doesn't know a god damned thing about Christian theology and I have no idea what he meant in this context.

        And also, if I remember right, the Deadly Sins aren't so much bad actions as they are things that lead someone to do much worse things. I mean, most of them are just emotions, not even actions.

          Peterson is a moron who gets fundamental parts of theology wrong pretty often. Coincidentally, the parts he gets wrong are the parts that most conservatives never really bother with, so it kind of makes sense. Hard to read the bible and come away with any sort of good feeling towards the freaks who he represents.

        He doesn't seem that much better at understanding the Bible than he does at understanding Marxism which he claims he has studied for decades.

          "studying marxism for decades" in this case means getting mad at people who call him a chauvinist pig for telling women they just shouldn't wear makeup if they don't want to deal with sexual harassment.

      "Da bibble said this word bad. Also, unrelated statement which doesn't have a point to it apart from being transphobic in a round-about way."

        The "seven deadly sins" actually aren't mentioned in the Bible. There are four things specifically mentioned as "sins which cry out to heaven for vengeance", two of which are shared my Marxists, oppression of the poor and exploitation of wage labor. The other two are murder and non-procreative sex.
