I always like the Prageru five minute lectures, and posted that one earlier. God to have two peole post it. Not surprisingly the only comment was from a "progressive" who equates the pagan gods the emperors and God as all and the same none of any value. We probably will not find a way to let them examine their lives, their thinking patterns and the reality of God, as the giver of life.

Sorry I did not see your post.

I am in agreement that this video is a 'must see' item.

I watched this video on my Prager U subscription and Dennis P essentially nailed it. This goes a long way to explaining why the left and right simply can't come to any accomodation or agreement. When you have no principles or morals there is no reason to agree with anything that doesn't suit you.

Exactly. There are many, many examples where liberals talk past us, over us, and often use language in ways which confuse even themselves.

I really don't know which one posted it first I may have missed your post but it is a subject that does require thought and discussion. Unfortunately generally the "progressives" tend to side track the discussion so they don't have to get past the superficial.

Yes, nothing about progressives speaks to a love of depth.

To boil down Prager's argument...
Without God, morality is merely opinion.
With God, morality is merely God's opinion.
