So it kind of is a complicated question for him, as it is for a lot of people. If following the teachings of Jesus makes you a Christian, then he is. But if you have to actually commit to believing in god or Christ's divinity, then he wouldn't be considered one. Spirituality is complicated, hard to articulate, and deeply personal.

If that show was supposed to be a bona fide card carrying Christian debating atheists, he is probably on the wrong show. Not that I care for Jordan Peterson, but I wouldn't talk to someone using that tone either. That person seemed like he just wanted to cause a scene.
I will forever distinguish the two by asking the question, why?

Why do you not steal?

Is it because it is morally/empathetically wrong?

Is it because you are afraid you will not go to heaven?

I will admit, most people start in column A, but after a while, Column B comes out
