As infuriating as it is to see a manifestation of it like this, this refusal to judge is the natural result of the way the world is going. By shoving God out of the way, as Creator and as the Giver of morals, we've put the responsibility for it all in the hands of man. And if man is solely responsible, then there are no absolutes, no rights and wrongs, beyond what each person declares it to be for them. No one wants to judge, because they're afraid to be judged for their own wrongs. Gosh knows we have plenty of this kind of thinking in our own country.

Prager is today (right now) comparing this article with one published today by Gunter Grass who wrote he is PROUD of Germany for being concerned about Power. Prager is sadly delighted because Grass proves his point.

Also, to your point -- Prager is constantly harping in favor of your point -- that without God at center, morality becomes unhinged. Ideals that become humano-centered rather than outside and above humanity, naturally suffer from the imperfections that are inherent in humanity.

This is the Gunter Grass Article --
The U.S. Betrays Its Core Values

(Having learned from its past, Germany rightly rejects Bush's war and his disdain of the U.N. )
-- http://www.latimes.com/templates/misc/printstory.jsp?slug=la-war-oegrass7apr07&section=/news/opinion

Prager, on air now, scorns this piece with: "had the U.N. -- Syria, Sudan, Camaroon et al. -- okayed the war, THEN it would be okay?.... [paraphrasing] They see the evil that is Saddam Husein, and even acknowledge it, but think it's Bush who is the bad guy in this. And why? Because Pres. Bush didn't cowtow to an organ comprised of regimes who are mostly only one or two steps below Hussein on the ladder to evil."

If you're interested, KRLA870.com lets you hear it again online later today.
