PragerFU: God and Suffering, Part V
This is our last look at this series. I like doing these multi-part take-downs. It really gives me time to get into the meat of a subject. By the last video, I feel like I've really wrapped my head around things, and I always like the last video in the series the best. This is no exception — especially the end, with which I'm really happy!!!
Thanks again, Patrons!!! You guys are the best. I really appreciate all your help. I have some interesting stuff coming up next month, so stay tuned and tubed. And of course, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!B

Woohoo!!! That was my goal.
The "massive scale" and "Southern Comfort" references made me LOL.
Spot on summary of their cognitive dissonance: "Ignorance is bliss." Unfortunately, it isn't bliss, but fairy tale, fantasy, delusion, without one scintilla of verifiable, reliable, concrete evidence to back it up. To repeat a sage observation by Carl Sagan: "Better the hard truth, I say, than the comforting fantasy. And in the final tolling it often turns out that the facts are more comforting than the fantasy."
You have me at "Carl."
If you take a step back and ask why such a bizarre system has thrived, it can only be because the system mollifies the masses to keep them from the throats of their oppressors (the elites). The message is "just keep going to work and suffer your full measure, all will be made right after you die." Isn't that convenient? Why don't they just say "keep working, otherwise those benefiting from your work will be really, really sad."
I think that's clearly how religion ended up being used. I'm not sure if it started out that way though. People might honestly have had decent motives. But the law of unintended consequence will not be broken.
So basically they are saying the believers "Can't Handle the Truth".
Absolutely. In another video Prager admits that if he didn't believe in God, he'd go mad. They really can't handle reality.
This the last in an infinite series?
It makes sense if you really, really think about it. Or not.
