23:00  Unprincipled men blaming Jews, Muslims etc

24:00  The Atheist Theory of God

25:00  The purpose of life is to pass the exam entitling us to go to the better place in the afterlife.

26:00  The existence of the Abrahamic God makes it logical for us to believe that good will be rewarded and evil punished in this life or the next.

28:00  The conviction that good will be rewarded and evil punished would motivate people to do the right thing. 

29:00  Nihilists are not happy people.

30:00  Jordan Peterson's "spiritual attack"

Hey, as you know @jordanbpeterson has been really sick. A lot of people have been asking for updates so here’s one. He’s recovering slowly day by day but I won't lie, it's slow and scary. He won't be back for another few months at least, probably longer. We’re not entirely sure… pic.twitter.com/wmS5Wy2tg8

41:00  SJJ

42:00  Hand hygiene

43:00  The First Amendment is supported by quran.com/2/256
