Prager H3: From a purely logical point of view, if there is a good God who governs the universe and demands moral behavior from his creations, there must be an afterlife.
Prager H2: There was a lot of moral confusion at Michael Brown’s funeral yesterday. It’s especially disconcerting when ministers don’t make sense… Dennis talks to Steve Emerson, Executive Director for The Investigative Project on Terrorism.
