PragerFU: Meaning and Assertion
This time I've actually taken on a Dennis Prager essay (assay?) from earlier in the month in which Dennis covers himself in his own pomposity. Having worked for and with him, I know that he doesn't keep people around very long when they start telling him stuff he doesn't want to hear. But the arrogance of (merely) the title of the assay is beyond what I would have imagined him capable of when we were friends. He is now completely lacking any self-awareness. But, the essay is a very good demonstration of what happens when the ethos of religious apologetics takes over your thinking.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you for all your support. Two more vids coming your way soon — both quickies (but really good ones, if I do say so my own damned self). B

Ah, yes. Proof by vigorous assertion has successfully replaced all other pathways to discovery of fact, not just in religious argument but in politics. Pray the gravity away.
Wait, this god created us to have someone to worship it? Man, that sounds really, really needy to me. If that is DP "meaning" of our lives, as I suspect it is, that makes him just as needy.
As I watch this I can't help but envision a dark room where we can see Mr Prager, straight-jacketed to a chair with his eyes mechanically pinned open a la A Clockwork Orange as he is forced to watch ALL of Brian's videos such as WOTM. PragerFU, Mr Deity Mr D et al (and including those esoteric jewels like WORDS and the Larry/Deity interviews) repeatedly without respite and in chronological order while choir of tone deaf Christian preschoolers who can't quite remember the lyrics are forced to sing about creationism being real science amplified so loud that the windows rattle.
One unevidenced claim to support another unevidenced claim, it's their goto standard! They will happily use the bible to establish the truth of an otherwise unevidenced claim completely unaware that what's in the bible is just another unevidenced claim.
