Timeless Wisdom with Dennis Prager

Secularism is the norm… are you religious?  Honoring Judeo-Christian values is disappearing.  The repercussions of cut flower ethics are apparent.  What has happened to the uniforms of religion? People are wearing crosses or the star of David… but is it religious or as a good luck talisman?  Does wearing a cross provide protection?  Does practicing religion protect you from calamity?  Should experiencing tragedy in life cause you to lose faith?  Dennis explains why reason is his vehicle to religion.  Free will is a blessing… but it also has a downside.  Everyone should strengthen their theology BEFORE tragedy happens.  Dennis and Julie explore God watching versus God willing.  Did God create evil?  Dennis says, “it doesn’t matter if God knows what I will do… what matters is that God knows what I do and did.”  For Dennis… sanity relies upon there being a hereafter that rewards good and punishes evil.  "God does not want us to understand, because if we ever understood, we would be forced to accept that bad things happen to good people, and God does not want us to accept those bad things. He wants us not to understand, so that we will fight against the bad and the injustices of this world, and that is why there is no answer to that question. God has arranged that we shall never have an answer to it." – Rabbi Lord Jonathan SacksMusic: Straight to the Point c 2022Richard Friedman Music Publishing 100%Richard Friedman Writers 100%ASCAP (PRO)IPI128741568RichardFriedmanMusic.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to a new report, thirty percent of Americans are living alone. This is a sad development. In 1940 the number was eight percent. Feminism strikes again… Did we just live through “the hottest day ever”? Here’s a question: how do we know? And even if it’s true, hotter relative to what? A day in 1950?  The Archbishop of Britain says that the Lord’s prayer is problematic. Why? Because it says “Our father…” That makes the prayer patriarchal. And to the woke, that’s not acceptable.

Dennis shares his thoughts on finding a girlfriend when he was growing up …men thought they had to earn a woman.  Women are the gatekeepers of relationships… if they demand more respect from men, men will be more respectful.  Men want to earn admiration and women want to admire the men they love.  You must fight your nature.  Julie provides a parallel between using social media and dating… compromising your nature to please the opposite sex.  The more intelligent one is… the more easily brainwashed they can be.  What is the importance of women taking a man’s last name.  Every Leftist is a child… they want to live in a fantasy world and avoid the uncomfortable.  If you want to know male nature …go to the gay community.  Knowing the truth is good… not to be avoided.  Leftists believe it is acceptable to lie for the greater good.  Are men or women better at writing?  Why are the top chefs overwhelmingly men?  What are women better at than men?Music: Straight to the Point c 2022Richard Friedman Music Publishing 100%Richard Friedman Writers 100%ASCAP (PRO)IPI128741568RichardFriedmanMusic.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Daily Beast reporter was at the Moms for Liberty Convention in Philadelphia. She saw it as a hate fest. She focuses some of her ire on Dennis. He responds… Why does the left condemn book banning at school libraries? Does anyone believe that some books shouldn’t be kept from kids?  Bud Light sales have not returned to their pre-Dylan Mulvaney levels. Not even close… Jordan Peterson makes the astonishing claim that a man can’t be a woman or visa versa.

It’s one of the best addresses any president has ever given: philosophically deep and crystal clear… Curious why there are so many delays at the airport?
