A powerful part in this interview (Jordan Peterson teaches Joe Rogan about the Cross) that Jordan Peterson recites with empathy really touched me deeply about all the pain Jesus went through --- who but Him could have gone through all this, out of love for each one of us?
''There is no death more painful than crucifixion. That's why the Romans invented it, to punish political miscreants, it is a slow agonizing death by suffocation and dehydration and exposure, it is extraordinarily painful. That sucks, that' s pain, man, PLUS you know it's coming, that is part of the story, PLUS your best friend betrayed you into it, PLUS your people turned against you, PLUS they are led by a tyrant who doubts truth, PLUS your are a victim of the Roman empire, PLUS you are completely innocent, PLUS everybody knows it, PLUS they choose a criminal to be released from this experience instead of you even though they know he is a criminal and they know you are innocent. And you are young, and you have done no wrong and all you have done is help people.''
"To add: the religious system of your time that should have been supporting and protecting you against the Roman empire, has been your enemy number one ... who plotted all this with your best friend even before the Romans could have thought about it..."
