the right to say (do you believe? pt. ii) - 2mørvs lyrics

[verse1: dr. jordan b. peterson]
you know, one of the things nietzsche said about christianity
he was a great critic of christianity
although also a great friend in a very peculiar way
in that sometimes your best friend is the one who points out
your weakest porperties let’s say
he said as far as he was concerned
there was only one christian
and he died on the cross
and* and that’s* that’s a* you know
perhaps an extreme statement
but one worth giving some consideration to
[verse2: dr. jordan b. peterson]
it’s like, well, then you look at what are* what are you called upon
let’s say, if you’re going to proclaim yourself as a believer, you know
and i thought about this a lot
as i’ve gone through the old testament
i did a bunch of lectures last year
so, what are you called upon
well, you’re called upon initially
to act out the spark of divinity that’s within you
by confronting potential
with the logos that’s within you
which means to take the opportunities that are in front of you
the potential future
and to transform it into the present
in the best possible way
using truth and courage and careful articulation
as your* as your* as your* as your* as your guide
so, that’s the first thing you’re called on to do
that’s a major deal there
that’s a tough one

[verse3: dr. jordan b. peterson]
and then the second is
to make the proper sacrifices
that’s the cain & abel story
it’s like, you want something? you genuinely want it?
you wanna set the world straight?
then you let go
of what’s necessary and you persue* you let go
of what isn’t necessary – no matter what it is
no matter what it is
and then you persue what’s necessary
and then maybe you sacrife your children to god
that was the story
that’s the* one of the next stories that comes up, of course
and you think
well, that’s pretty d*mn barbaric
[pre*verse: dr. jordan b. peterson]
and the way the story’s laid out of course it is
but that isn’t exactly what it means
it means that what you try to do when you raise children
is that you try to do everything you can
to impress upon them

[verse4: dr. jordan b. peterson]
by imitation and by instruction
and by love and by encouragement
that they are crucial beings in the world
whose ethical decision play an important role
in shaping the structure of reality itself
and that they have the moral responsibility to do that
and you get your arch in order
that’s your family, let’s say
so, that when the storms come
you can stay above water
for the fourty days of flooding

[outro: dr. jordan b. peterson]
and you’re capable of
leading your people through the desert
when the desert makes itself manifest
and you can escape from tyranny properly
’cause you’re wise enough to see it
and you take the full burden of being on yourself
all the suffering
that’s part and parcel of that
you accept that voluntarily, let’s say
and you do everything you can
to confront the malevolence that’s part of you
and that’s part of the state
and that’s part of the world
and you* you
make a garden around you
that’s the paradise
a walled garden, it’s a well*watered place
so the forces of nature and society exist together in harmony
and you place your family in that
so that they can live properly
and you treat your enemy as if he’s yourself
and the same with your brother
and, well, then you can say
then maybe you can say
maybe then you have the right to say
that you believe in god
otherwise, maybe, you should think twice about it
you should think twice about it
