I have great respect for Ravi. My respect for Dennis is limited by his support for gun control.

I think its more of a ethics and culture discussion rather than politics.

Prager is hilarious. “Nobody gives a hoot.”
Thanks for posting this.

My respect for Dennis is limited by his support for gun control.

And his penchant for and dismissive regard of serial divorce/remarriage.

Gun control touches on basic rights, which are at root, ethics.

And his support for Romney in the primary and bashing of Gingrich and Cruz.

I absolutely agree, but in the modern world, it’s been falsely turned into a political football, and I think these guys are leaving that to the politicians. Relax man, we WON on gun control, and Barry and Piers Morgan were humiliated. They won’t try that again for another 5 years.

Zacharias is an intellectual giant who can debate anyone on the planet. He is also a gentle and generous man. I was able to spend a lot of time with him over the course of several days while we were both overseas. Ravi is gifted, and God is with him.

Wow. That must have been quite an experience. He is one of the men who brought me to Jesus Christ with his online ministry and lectures. Amazing how the Great Commission came from India to the USA in that instance!

Same here-—Dennis is reasonable/logical most times. I like a lot of his psychology/logic-—and then he utterly blows it on fundamental issues like on guns.

He does the same on homosexuality-—stating he knows “moral/good” homosexuals who adopted kids-—friends of his.

Like-—ok——how evil and selfish to put children in a home devoid of a loving mother and father-—he doesn’t understand the warping of the children in such an evil, artificial environment, even if homosexuals (hopefully) go to the privacy of their bedroom every night which is witnessed in the so-called “family”-—complete destruction of the understanding of the two sexes and the intimate complementary Design by God-—removes that concept from children-—makes sex into a meaningless, irrational, evil misuse of the body.

It normalizes irrationality in children and destroys their future “relationships”—by retarding their ability to pick up on the social cues by observing the intimate, everyday behavior of their biological parents, etc. which is behavior needed to be modeled for normal development, to prevent making children a fish out of water. Life is difficult anyhow—under natural circumstances. He advocates homosexuals adopting children. It is sick and should never be allowed.

It is just more slippery/slope/conditioning into irrational behaviors which destroys civil society-—removal of Truth/Reason-—environment which erases Judeo-Christian Ethics in the minds of children.

It is actually promoting Satanic Ethics-—using the body in irrational, dehumanizing ways-—because it “feels” good-—so it is “good” although it removes dignity and meaning from life/nihilism—and is direct rebellion of God and Reason.

It was a real honor.

He actually prayed for my entire family before he had to depart. When we were traveling around in the car, people who pepper him with questions, and his answers (all unscripted and from the cuff) were just what you would expect - completely brilliant. It was like listening to a radio broadcast. His grasp of Western philosophy, Eastern religions, humanism, postmodernism, and Biblical truth is uncanny. It has to be God-given, because I could not fathom it otherwise. But, despite all of his brilliance, underneath he is a very humble, warm, and caring man. My wife was taken by his "sweetness." He loves God deeply, and he truly fears for the lost.

You’re right about that...the man is brilliant and almost transcendental, IMO,...his radio program fascinates me.

I wish you all had that opportunity. I knew I was being blessed at the time.

PS to Viennacon - I cannot view the Youtube video - it says "THIS VIDEO IS PRIVATE" even if I try to sign in.
