What Karl Marx Thought About Religion | Dr. Paul Kengor

Bro keep yapping, the best religion is 4-chan

It's not the question that puzzles. All questions are neutral, in my opinion. Is there a Christ? Is there no Christ? Depending on the competency of the answer is my opinion. If the competency answers the narrative of the story, it will be rebuked by the atheists ( crazy pronoun) . If the facts answer the competency of the atheists, they will get bashed by the believers. You can never justify fanatical systems over common sense due to a narrative. We have been taught since childhood that the narrative is all that counts. This debate is like a dog chasing its tail.

If I had a one way time travel ticket, would going back and taking out Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels help our futures ?

Its not the worship of power but power of domination as the reward of worshipping Satan. It's a covenant. "Bow down to me and Worship me (Satan) and all these glorious kingdoms and empires shall be yours."

"The celebration of sadistic destruction." Surely this phrase sums up in as few words as possible, the essential nature of Marxism itself wherever it has played out in its purest form. Russia, Cambodia, China to name but three.

People in the middle ages didnt fear hell, they feared purgatory.

TGIS Prof. Peterson's suggestion, if I may future guests, POTUS, Donald J Trump, Canada's candidate Pierre Poilivere, and UK-PM candidate Nigel Farage, please.

All this discourse around Marx and I am reminded of a wise old Albanian proverb: ‘Do not ask your friend for advice; ask your enemy and do the opposite.’

Thank you for this Informative video. Appreciated.

Crime without victims is the real problem in the world. I belive the lack of individual freedom is the root of crimes/depression/and the people not working. This is not sutainable for the developed countries that surely are suppose to make people safe and able to live free. To make the most simple and tell me if its ok and sustainable for cocieties. 2 elderly humans decide that they dont want 1 person to be able to smoke cannabis, even if the person in this example is a person that smokes cannabis, loves life, love to work and to contribute to society has good moral code and principles of freedom and to treats everybody with respect. But these 2 elderly or any people just dont want it to be allowed, even if its not hurting anybody. So its 2 vs 1. Now we have 2 choices. 1 we put up regulations and rules so the 2 people can be free from surtain people. 2 we dont allow this majority to be free from anybody that is not direcly commiting crimes that has victim. Now in option 1, you strip this one person of his individual freedom to please these to people. option 2 you let people have there individual freedoms no matter what peoples personal opinion is.
Now consqence thinking. On one hand you got a person that is deprived of indivisual freedom, that could become an issue, creating people that feel like they are in chains for no good reason. On the other hand you get two Karens that most likely would keep being karens even if they get what they want. This is society in a nutshell.
I end this with, you should not build a society based on eleminating groups of people to please the bigger group.
Build society based on individual freedom.
Individual freedom is the path to really grow a population were the best versions of humans can thrive, and not the karens.

Carl Marx is still with us. Unfortunately Jordan is just another false prophet teaching captalism and male patriarchy.

Great to hear you referring to Chuck Taylor. Would be a good guest

It’s astonishing that only one person in this comments section aside from me seems to have actually read Marx. 😂

Morally dangerous, huh?

Jesus is God first of all, and sec9ndly their is happiness because Jesus paid the price, so it's a free gift. That doesn't mean there's rules God wants us to follow, with consequences for those who don't follow. The joy is, although they can be punished or chastised, they'll never go to hell!

Walk humbly ❤

It seems more likely that atheism Is a sedative Opium for mass “atheists” , those whose Secular values «seems to them firm enough & stand still, BUT when A Raging Bull of catastrophe _ caused by human made weapons, environmental disasters, ……… _ comes to break with its wrathful horns the tiny layer of ice on the surface of the mire & leave behind itself all secular moralist Baron Munchausens in the flux» I wonder if they can “pull themselves out of the mire by pulling their own hairs”, & even if they could, what percentage of them on «The Road» to their Ideal “Rational secular humanism” Utopia would still be «After Virtue» (assuming they already are, in this normal situation) & what percentage would be after fresh living meat! ( or the least «first seeking» to store up T paper, as much as they can) /// there’s a rumour that few years ago when a pandemic broke out in a Semi - utopia Island, « a mad man with a lantern checked out all empty shops, shouting: I seek some T paper, I seek some T paper » & got out empty-handed, muttering: indeed, « Apocalypse Now »! 😀…,

Wonderful discussion on Christianity v Marxism.
❤️✝️. Agape Love v Hate.

Hell is not where you put your enemies. Hell is where you go if you dont obey the religion. Of course it is for mass control. Religion has its societal benefits, but to deny some simple truths that are imvonvinient make Dr Peterson lose credibility.

He was an idiot (MARX) who did not understand the laws of the universe, it is simple, just because something has the potential to be all out evil and dangerous does not mean it is, or whatever it stems from is all evil or dangerous either. The pendulum, the law of polarity, rhythm, and the law of vibration. We still operate on these as freemasons. The hearts of people are out of rhythm with the earth, and needless to say, we are in the shadows. Practicing these laws, to the contrary of public opinion.

“Our world demands balance between positive negative and neutral forces. This is something we cannot change. What we can manipulate is how we allow these energies to channel through us as individuals ultimately affecting others”.

We seriously need to consider a special panel countering all these nefarious groups, a panel of Peterson, Shapiro etc who can meet and counter all the BS that is out there.

Dr. Kengor is the GOAT

*note: by my inherent thankfulness, thank you for your consideration.
The following is a modified expression of the climate of societies that has developed over decades and is far from transparent to individuals in need of daily procurement of livelihood, for example. The daily life of the individual in history does have need of unbiased information in communications regarding the individual's daily life challenges, of course,
this is obvious, communicators need to strive for transparency to foster the lifting the "veil," by societal trends.
There's a need for:
- educators, for natural language historical perspective in regard to impartiality;
- journalists, in regard to the fields of study, not just current event news;
and
- governance in regard to each institution, the "house" of prayer communities as well as the "house" of state communities;- Communities who have a specific perspective that disseminates information;-
*of course, to be aware of potential biases in information communication.
Especially when it comes to long-term societal trends that might not be readily apparent. Some goals of help to inform communities:
Strategies for Impartial Information:
Highlighting Societal Trends: It is helpful, of course, to study historical data and social studies research to identify long-term trends that might be influencing information communication.
Identifying Potential Biases: Researching and identifying different types of biases, such as confirmation bias or cultural bias, that might be shaping information presentation.
Promoting Critical Thinking: I can help you develop resources that encourage educators and journalists to approach information critically and evaluate its sources and potential biases.
~
Spreading Awareness:
Development of Educational Materials: By use of draft summaries of research on societal trends and biases, formatted for educators and journalists.
Analyzing Media Coverage: Develop reports by the studies in regard to existing news reports or educational materials to identify potential areas for improvement in terms of bias awareness.
Fact-Checking and Verification: I can help you develop resources and tools to promote fact-checking and verification of information across different fields.
Addressing Concerns for Freedom of Speech for a Just Change:
The individual as a human being person has inherent rights during life, dignity during life,
and inherent self-worth during life. Each has the right to express in freedom of speech in venues of public forums in an unbiased climate for the individual human being person,
and this needs to be encouraged by those who have the seat of forming such a climate of unbiased climate to share information from each individual human being person who needs the opportunity to express one's self in perspective of life experience.
Personal belief or faith can be expressed in that freedom of speech does not impose belief, of course, the focus of this discussion can remain on the broader issue of information bias in education, news reporting, and governance.

This is an interesting subject, but I find it annoying that Dr.Peterson frequently hijacks his guest''s train of thought and takes over the conversation.

How many wars (up to this point) fought in the name of God and whose religion is more superior……Religions are twisted and used as a weapon against others. Religions are misinterpreted and presented as poisons ……..as long as there are religious wars and oppression of others religions are not interpreted correctly.

Every religion and every character is a product of man’s imagination and delusion. Its a chronic level of cognitive dissonance that endured since the beginning of our time and will last for as long as we survive as humans… Its a pacifier to sooth us in this reality. Its really flawed and even the MOST BRILLIANT people are susceptible to its lure. Eloquence does not equal intelligence. Intellect can be a detriment to truth and honesty. Religion is the ultimate cat that cant go back in the bag. Very much like a.i. It will continue to grow uncontrollably. Unleashed and destined to run wild forever. In this programming, religion is an infinite loop, that cant be stopped..unless “something outside of this reality” resets the program because we’re incapable of doing it ourselves. The truth is that we created God/god/and gods to make sense of life and cope with this reality. Its our fault. We are both smart enough to know this truth but dumb enough (or not humble enough) to continue convincing ourselves to believe in the ultimate lie because we’re too scared of living life without the ultimate pacifier even if it turns out to be not true. Unfortunately we inherited our religions through hundreds/thousands of generations and we’re too ashamed to disown at this point and probably forever.

Religion allows people to remove any responsibly from themselves and put it on The Higher Power.

Marx is shocked too 🤯
He is waiting for Jordan to come and he will do a podcast with him too to better explain

When you are in doubt regarding religion it is better to see the world like Marx rather than any celebrity you may listen to on the internet or tv. Marxism as a materialistic philosophy can inwardly reinforce your religious views by stripping them of their selfish component since doubt is typically rooted in selfishness. When you are in doubt you are typically only thinking in egoic terms of self and not in sustainable terms of selflessness.

When in doubt say yes. When not in doubt say no.

Marxism is a religion (Bertrand Russell)

Some people turn to a religion for comfort and reassurance—and because of their non-comprehension. But most people will be drawn to a religion, since it will seem—humanly speaking—that a religion must hold within their wisdom and teachings, the secrets of the Source of Life. This subservience to Religious human domination, claiming to know the secrets of the universe, is a good kindergarten for immature minds.

But of course, most religionists will always stubbornly deny the Truth.

Great converstion, however you guys are analyzing it too deep....
What Marx wanted was to change religion and faith into his "new religion" and his "new faith" which was the doctrine of communism.

He is right

Is it possible that Marx is referring to opium in the way that it might make one happy but keeps them from advancing? isnt that Nietche? Wherin he says that Judeo\christian ethic is a weakness that keeps the coming about of the uberman. At the end of the day I'm on your side but just trying to bring some nuance.

Marx is a super genius

It's not that you actually lived a good life, it's if you've been born again jordan.

Pick up the burden of your incompatibility to the programming of the enemy and follow your purity for ascension.
The problem is not the message which can be conveyed in a zillion ways. The problem is attributing to any fellow human being absolute purity and building around it a religious structure that crushes freedom, virtue, justice as a means to reverse what innately is our goal.

Communism just sacrifices everyone else

Thanks for informative historic angle about religion.

Quran says: "We've equipped your Nafs(being ) with both good and bad"
Peterson said: I believe human are both good and
I don't know what's the take of christianity over that

Opium addiction is actually pretty rough

The WEF literally wants to put the "useless" masses on opioids 😅

Somehow religion brings out the best and the worst both in humans and that extremely so (Hamas anyone?). So there is a point to be made to reject religion as an extremist idea. But you would also eradicate everything religion does right and as history showed us - that place in humanity where religion resides gets occupied pretty fast by something else religion-like.

Did the marxists even study the bible or read it? Did scientists even conduct observational studies of christians or religion? God reconciled man when Jesus conquered hell and death. The time is coming where people will be discussing the power of God manifesting in the lives of the body of Christ. Instead of the works of the flesh and spiritual wickedness in high places.

"Opiate for the Masses" was an American rock band from Los Angeles, California in 1999.

If you don’t believe in god , to me that means you’ve lived a privileged enough life to not have to

Let's not forget that Hitler quoted the Bible when massacring Jews and Americans quoted the Bible when enslaving people. Religion is a perversion of God and perfectly good and intelligent people can shit on religion and still be good and intelligent.

Marx created his own religion, cleverly cloked it in the fashionable scientific jargon of his age, and did everything he could to destroy competing religions.
