2. Do you think all atheists are automatically, in any way, intellectually superior to any/all Christians? (this one is yes-or-no, so come on, even you can probably give that a whirl). Once again, it's yes or no, so try and just type it and not use a meme to make your point.

I have a degree in theoretical physics from a Russell group university and was a straight A student in most other subjects in high school.
Peterson is one of the few people who I really struggle to comprehend. My ego wants me to believe that its him that is the problem, not me, hes just not a good communicator. However it is pretty clear that he is just much much cleverer than I am, his intellectual plane is just far beyond my own. I will be listening to him and the way he structures his thoughts is so precise its almost impenetrable for the listener but within those thoughts are some of the most brilliant observations of humanity and modern society Ive ever heard. He truly is one of the great thinkers of our time.

God is how you want your neighbor to act, basically.Can someone translate that for my simple mind pls?
This is pretty hard to communicate explicitly, and it's an idea that has formed over a very long time. It's been passed down as stories from generation to generation, altered along the way to adjust for changing conditions in the world and new values of the people who tell them. The same thing has happened in most religions.
It's not about "your" God, it's about the ideals and values of a whole society/culture. Christianity has one set of ideals, Islam another etc. It's a way to shape society. Tell stories about how to behave, and you will burn these ideals into your people.
Without the internet i feel like a small rock on the mountain.
I don't really want my posts on the internet tbh ... I'm just legit addicted to posting ... people become addicted to the internet look it up

He is more interested in the psychological and metaphorical (even Darwinistic) truth of the religious traditions. Do you know many Christians who place Buddha on the same pedestal as Jesus Christ or who talk openly about how the Biblical stories come from traditions thousands of years pre-dating Christianity?

It means your god is whatever you personally value the most. A good parallel to draw would be old school idol worship; the idols were not God with a capital G, but they were god to the people worshiping the idols.
I think if he used the word "Your" to start out that sentence it would have made a lot more sense.

It is not so much the major events as the small day-to-day decisions that map the course of our living. . . Our lives are, in reality, the sum total of our seemingly unimportant decisions and of our capacity to live by those decisions. ― Gordon B. Hinckley
