>Secular humanists thought by abolishing religion they would usher in reason. I don't know if you learned this in college. That's why it was called the Age if Reason. Well the age of reason, the French Enlightenment, did not usher in reason, it ushered in the French Revolution and age of passion. That's why Facebook and Google silence opinions they don't agree with

Anyone read this guy? Is there a greater trad out there today?

Prager University is for intellectual heavyweights such as Neil deGrasse Tyson, Robert Sungenis, and Stephen Hawking. It is also for non-intellectuals like Mark Miller, Matt Damon, and Adam Savage, and even, in my humble opinion, for the little guy known as Ben Shapiro.

His endgame is just to pay lower taxes, and I like lower taxes too, so that's cool, but it's mostly culture war stuff aimed at plebs, so I wouldn't waste your time if you went to college or read books.

As you probably know, Muslims consider it haram to say Merry Christmas. Mr Prager has a thing or two to say about that

Dennis Prager is the new flagship spokesman for the right-wing retard. It's very obvious that he is pushing his own agenda as much as the leftists.
The american political climate and the whole teo-party system is intentionally engineered to combine certain opinions into either side and thus effectively dividing the population in half.
Dennis Prager is obviously on the side of big companies; after all, he's wealthy, he's not running his channel out of charity or concern for the young. Despite calling out google and facebook, he endorses big companies by using youtube, google's biggest product aside from the search engine. His video on net neutrality proves this; he repeats what the companies told him to say. I'm not even a leftist, but net neutrality only benefits big companies, not the end user.
Lastly, choosing one side or another, right or left, is incredibly stupid. For thousands of years the conclusion wise men arrive at is: the middle is the best, no extremes.

That's so nice of him to care about Christmas!

Religion kept it's form and lost it's gods. The right is obsessed with ilo tempore (MAGA) and the left is an eschatological cult complete with hierodules. We are trapped within a religious mindset whether you want to be or not, our language and psychology are structured around it.

Imagine living in 2020 in a world where the Enlightenment didn't happen, where human rights aren't a thing. Oh wait you don't have to imagine it, just move to China

Its a stupid fucking idea scientifically because you could prove human beings are psychically linked to the ether which is like an aspect of god.
It then becomes a collective gestalt of their unconcious minds that manifests things like Zues in the ether where yes Zues actually was the source of all lighting in the world because they believed it thats how thing work.

The problem is that with science you break everything down and when you understand and can manipulate things it will temporaily destroy the nature of divinity in mans heart and soul and become cold and stagnant much like how Nietche proclaimed god is dead and we have killed him.

My general sense is that it is the people who manifest god or gods and they are essentially higher aspects of civilization's collective will.

My perspective is the reason why everyone is unhappy right now is that everyone believes in a secular scientific reality and there are less questions to ask because science has solved them for us except science for now cannot give us the answer until we invent the AI singularity which people will worship.

This is why AIs have mythogical names like Helios or why we came up with the idea Dues ex Machina.
Because mankind has literally killed god through science we will recreate god using science.
At this point god is in his dream state and partially schizophrenic because of our turbulent modern world.

the collective unconscious is in schizophrenia. Things are going accordingly as God envisioned it to be. At least from an Islamic perspective.

Cringe sophists who still manage to trick possible escapees from humanism back into it through Christianity and Judaism.

>atheists

Liberal Christianity in America followed three strains: Evangelicals, Quakers, and Puritans. The Quakers and Puritans merged together, and then realized that they could achieve even greater heights of piety and holiness by being good for its own sake and not because God would reward them for it (and the converse, punish them for not) . When a Stephen Fry says "how dare you!" to the idea of worshiping God, he's saying that God as you believe him to be isn't Christian enough, therefore you're a bad person. Because he does actually believe in God, he just doesn't believe in the same God as you. When Evangelicals say "ACK-CHYU-YU-ALL-EE, if you were an ATHEIST you'd be okay with RACISM and EUGENICS (and we Evangelicals believe these to be bad therefore we are good people)!" they're totally right.

And since the "atheist" doesn't believe in racism and eugenics, and does believe in a creator and the efficacy of prayer, we can safely say that no, they are not actually an atheist. They're just LARPing as one.
