Columnist and radio talk-show host Dennis Prager starts out the new year with a mission: to make the case for a rebirth of basic Judeo-Christian values in our nations by, well, explaining it better, and showing how it’s more appealing than the alternatives (the alternatives being either a denial of religion in some form, or Islam, for example. The piece is called Better answers: The case for Judeo-Christian values.
It would be counterintuitive to quote just a little bit of his column and mess up his whole year’s plan by explaining things badly, but here’s just a sentence that stuck with me:
