If you haven't seen the jubilee Christian vs 20 atheists (renamed Jordan Peterson vs..) it's incredible mess. But one must wonder why he agreed. I think it's a deeper trend that the left doesn't handle well in their media. It's the tendency for them to control their image and algorithms.
If you haven't followed the Jord Benzo Pete, he in the past has pretty much called Christianity and religion just fairy tale. Now he's on the right. the debate he won't lock his position down in the debate, trying to talk around anything and not holding an actual position. Why join this at all...
It was to make clips that would come up when you search "Jordan Peterson Atheist" instead of either the videos saying there's no god from years ago, the clips of him getting dogwalked by Matt Dillahunty where he said that getting your head cut off wasn't bad for your well being, like a psychopath...
It all comes down to algorithm control and manipulation of the clips you see. It backfired hard for him and there are no clips that make him look good that debate but you could bet that if there were, a thousand bots would be on those clips hundreds of times to put them at the top of that search.
