The Shameful Case Of PragerU
ฝัง

- Prager University Foundation is a tax-exempt corporation best known for its videos about social issues in America, and American history. Recently it has been trying to inject its videos into the American public school system, and its videos have been roundly criticized for being full of disinformation, for justifying things like slavery, and for doggedly pushing a narrative that if you give the hippies an inch, they'll take a mile, and it's all because they don't fear God. But not just any old God- specifically, Prager's God.

"Why do I need a multi-millionaire, in the pocket of a billionaire, to tell me what is moral?"... such an incredibly succinct question and statement all in one!
The slavery video really puts Candice Owens role on the right into clear focus. There's no sensible reason to have her make that video. She isn't an expert on history or slavery. She's an online trash talker. The reason to have her do that video is use her skin color as cover for racist talking points.
Word, it's weirdly disturbing like she's brainwashed by these racist white men to say these dated opinions to gaslight a black audience to believe in that crap
She’s a “pick me”.
They used to call them Uncle Tom's.
Remember Sam Jacksons character from Django Unchained?
That's Ben Carson, Candise Owens, Kanye West...
@@xxcoopcoopxxHow does this apply to Ben Carson?
Well, that was one of the few PragerU videos with little to no factual errors.
It's pretty rare to find a PragerU video that doesn't feel like massive clickbait. It's easy to do a "reaction" type video where you just cringe because he's obviously wrong, but it takes a lot more effort to make a video like this.
Agreed. My only problem with it is the antagonistic/inflammatory use of the words like “shameful”.
All this does is insult PU and their followers while making us feel good about ourselves by calling them out.
This is the same tactic used by PU and virtually every other left- or right-wing channel/personality.
There’s no shortage of self-righteous analysis these days.
@@CMA418shameful is shameful.
That’s not my pompous, self-righteous opinion.
I’m gonna go out on a long limb and assume that you know the difference between right and wrong. Or if you prefer, prideful and shameful. This cult leader and his disciples are just plain wrong, his verbal diarrhea is definitely not something I’d be proud to follow.
Maybe I’m just an old-fashioned “boomer” but I prefer facts over opinions and an agenda that isn’t thinly veiled with obvious bias and blatant stupidity.
So yeah, shameful is what I’d call it too.
@@dbqgal8172 Sorry, are you God? Because if not then yes that’s your opinion. Just like Dennis has his opinions about what’s shameful.

It's the dry, cynical humor. Most TH-camrs are literal incantations of a MeatCanyon cartoon
@@nustde00 As much as I would also like to meet him, I like to think he would actively avoid meeting any fans. He'd give a sheepish nod and run away with his bottle of wine, maybe cackling wildly.
@@igotes are you commenting about yourself? Great show, keep it up.
I've been forced to work indirectly with one of the people mentioned in this video (don't think I can legally say who), and they are exactly as dense, self-absorbed, and opportunistic as you would think
Could be quite a few of them over there with that description 😂
id say Candace Owens fits that the most.
...said a random guy on the internet, so we know it must be true.
Being opportunistic isn't a negative quality, in my opinion, but those first two most certainly are.
After all, how can a self-absorbed person see opportunities and press their advantage if the only thing they can think of their own little world?
Empathy is crucial in that regard. Seeing and feeling as others do allows you to maximize an outcome in your favor, for one example.
Tim Pool is my immediate guess.
Just a matter of time before Dennis Prager winds up on a registry
Without a doubt
He'll say it's only because he was targeted by the deep state and the meany-bo-beanies and it won't affect his business at all.
_"Eight year olds, Dude"_
The dude literally defends looking at child pRon.. Like, seriously. Imagine the fucking gall of lying about "gRoOmInG" in the same breath as praising literal child abuse because it's "a creative deterrent"
He'd already be on one, but the rich are exempt until they piss each other off
He doesn't actually believe these things i would wager, but if he can convince _you_ to believe them it benefits his club.
It's amazing how fast these "moral relativism is the work of the Devil" type of people revert to using the "those were different times" argument whenever a historic hero of them is criticised. The sheer amount of hypocrisy is making me dizzy.
PragerU needs to be told “facts don’t care about your feelings” more than anyone else.

The failed Hollywood screenwriter to alt-right grifter/monster pipeline is very real
It makes sense. The Republicans have chosen a Hollywood actor to lead their party... twice. Almost three times if you count Schwarzenegger.
Noooo hollywood is leftist
If you think PragerU is "alt right" then you'd be horrified by the _actual_ alt right.
PragerU is just basic b*tch boomer conservatism. Lol
You guys have had well over 5 years to learn the lesson that referring to everything you disagree with as "alt right" just makes you look histrionic and politically ignorant. ..and yet you continue with the hyperbole and pearl clutching.
Let's not forget "The *successful* Hollywood screenwriter to *progressive* grifter pipeline" also exists - and holds quite a lot more power/influence over our society.
Both political parties ultimately serve the same corporate masters and both sides are guilty of that which they accuse the other. Both of you engage in the same type whataboutism, gaslighting, cognitive dissonance, projection, and willful ignorance. ...which is why you all absolutely deserve each other and all the misery you cause to one another.

I love it when Penis Prager talks about humans being inherently bad, then staunchly denies the existence of systemic racism.

When PragerU literally called the Canada Health Care system a scam and said America's Health Care was better because you *had* to pay for it; I swear to God...
I felt like that guy from Videodrome just before the moment he exploded from having too many tumors.
I'm disabled from being severely chronically ill & also a dual citizen through my Canadian parents. I've lived in both places & had very long hospital stays in each country, and I'd take Canada's system over the one here in the states _ALWAYS,_ even w/ having Medicare here.

I honestly feel like it was packaged to America for the American/Israel alliance. You don't really see it used in the American lexicon until the 70s-80s.
@@RestingJudge Bingo. This is exactly it.
Haha, what exactly is the point here? That Judaism and Christianity have nothing to do with one another? That term, if what you say is true, has continued to be used for well over a century. That is a testament to its appeal and staying power. I know little about religion in general, but even I know many religions and such Christianity and Judaism overlap. They are closely linked.
@@Jimraynor45 Not really, not since the Jewish Christian community was executed en masse by Rome and ceased to exist. Everything Christian since (and a bit before, even) has been an effort to excise Judaism from the world.
And that's not even touching on the arrogance it takes to claim that the Jews are too stupid and/or evil to know their own god
You should read more before speaking from admitted ignorance, yeah?
@@Jimraynor45the real reason is that it includes two of the Abrahamic religions, but NOT Islam.

I remember learning in school (in Spain, 25 years ago) Cristóbal Colón went gradually insane.

Does Dennis know that the Nazis were as cruel to the rich Jewish People as they were to the poor Jewish people.
The Untied States was one of the last countries to outlaw chattel slavery. BUT there is an important caveat. It was actually never banned outright. The 13th amendment does make allowance for forced labor for those convicted of crimes. And wouldn't you know, convictions resulting in forced labor sentences surged in the South following the Civil War. You'll never see that video on Prager U.
They couldn't even admit in that PragerU slavery video that white people died to protect slavery or that Egyptians are Africans.
That's interesting. Can you point me where to learn more? Specifically about what you said about the increase in forced labor sentences. I'd never heard that claim before, though I did know about the exception in the Constitution.
@@alyssahansen1400 It's a bit of missing the forest for the trees. Slavery returned to the South in all but name through the use of contracts that mimicked the conditions of slavery and prevented the contractee from fleeing. Basically the South did everything it could to restore it's pool of cheap labor.
However this and penal labor was not the same thing as chattel slavery, as before the Civil War the Southerners use their slaves as breeding stock to increase their "inventory" of highly valuable slaves. Prisons back then didn't stoop so low as to farm babies for more labor.
@@alyssahansen1400 I would suggest researching the use of chain gangs. That was a very common form of forced labor of prisoners until the practice fell out of favor in the 50s
@@Edax_Royeaux I think she was asking because the sudden jump in incarceration rates would be clearcut proof. Especially if broken down by race.

To quote Rustin Cole from True Detective 'brother, if a man needs the promise of everlasting paradise to stop them from doing evil things, then that man is a piece of shit'
How can it be true that there is a universal moral truth (provided by God as laid down in an infallible Bible thousands of years ago) but also it be true that you can’t judge historical people by modern (presumably the same, universal) morality? How can gods infallible morality be both permanent and change over time?
Cognitive dissonance is their modus operandi.
Modern morality is not the same as the universal morality. Not that hard to understand
@@tubeguy4066 there is no such thing as "universal morality". Morality changes over time and with cultural input, including the morals of "god". There was a time when the god in the Bible killed more people than any heathen god of Canaan. The god of the Bible flooded the world and bid Israelites to cut open the wombs of the Canaanites and dash their infants upon the rocks. The way the Abrahamic god treats his own believers is wildly arbitrary and amoral, from Ishmael to Job. He is a petty, spiteful god that does not resemble the god of the New Testament at all. It is so bad a contrast that Gnostics attempted to reconcile the bipolarity with the idea of the demiurge and the monad.
It's worth noting that a fundamental part of Jewish and Christian ethos is that people are supposed to make cases for a better standard of morality in their society as time goes on, and that people should always be working toward treating others more caringly. I'm saying this not to justify any of the tragedies and crimes of the past, but to say further that Prager is a complete tool, as he constantly tries to enforce a stagnant and self-righteous morality on others that is not a progression of Jewish or Christian values but a massive step back.
None of anything terrible which happened in the past was ever justified, regardless of what was normal at the time, and just because something was normal does not mean it was seen as moral or fine at the time. So many rancid things people do today is normal, but we all have a problem with things like pollution and corruption, the destabilization and exploitation of smaller nations, etc. And if you are so vain and cowardly as to refuse to criticize the past, you cannot improve your present nor do any good for anyone.
The fall of Tim Pool was quite a thing to watch. He went from wide eyed and perhaps slightly naive investigator questioning the strange things he was encountering at anti-capitalist demonstrations to complete and total sellout pontificating about economics and why obese people make universal healthcare an impossibility while constantly screaming 'this is CIVIL WAR!' , in a matter of months and I can't watch him for even a few minutes before I have to shut him up. I can just imagine how perfectly this shift in character tracks with his bank balance.
Yup... I've had friends who started out lefty and then after occupy and Bernie became so untrusting of media they ended up going far, far right.
@@SeithonJetter Back in the 1990s I explored the anti-war movement and attended protests and various meetings. What I encountered was genuinely off-putting as protests were filled with agent provocateurs and political groups with other undercover types busily getting people pregnant (true story). While it put me off becoming involved with these organisations it didn't change my mind on wanting to see things change for the better... I just came to understand that there were things put in place to disrupt and/or discredit grass roots movements and so I decided to remain independent. I don't understand why people just exchange one off the shelf ideology for another one as soon as they face a challenge or have a change in circumstances.
He used to be a genuinely good source
He was at least, honest. I think his success took him to places where he was intellectually outgunned and he ended up just parroting the speech common to his new social circle.
My favourite take on slavery is that it wasn’t based on racism it just made sense from an economic point of view.
I guess it was just coincidence that all the slaves were black.
Technically slavery wasn't based on racism; racism was based on slavery. Europeans invented their racial ideas in order to justify the brutal torture and slaughter of black people. Racism is literally 400 year old victim-blaming propaganda, which we still have to contend with today.
I wonder what a PragerU video about the cornerstone speech would be like.
That's based on a very shallow interpretation racism and a poor understanding of slavery. Defining racism as merely being violent or unkind towards people of a different race is a poor definition. Imagine a school bully in a very diverse school. If he bullies people of the same race, it's not racist, but the moment he starts to bully a different race, suddenly it's racism? How do you know he isn't just bullying everyone because he likes to push people around and not because of racism? A better definition of racism is not one based on action but belief. It's a set of beliefs that says one race is superior or inferior to another. You could no more easily tell a person is a racist by actions than you could a Christian. Someone going to a Christian church does not automatically make them Christian, nor does violence against a different race automatically make you a racist. I'm sure such nuance is lost on you, but if you actually care about truth and facts, it actually really matters. At some point in history, nearly every race enslaved their own race. Europeans enslaved Europeans and Asians enslaved Asians, same is true for Africans. Slavery is a blight on human history.
@@Jimraynor45
Slavery in America was entirely race based. Or have I got it wrong? Were there white slaves? Could you buy a white person?
@@seaoftranquility7228Based on race and being racist aren't the same thing. Anyway, the north Atlantic slave trade was unique in that it was primarily divided by race, looking at a longer view of history, that was unusual. Also, the slaves being sold primarily in africa were not captured by foreigners but by africans themselves. Do you also believe africans sold their own race into slavery because they were racist against their own race? There's a lot more to slavery than race, hopefully you can muster enough of a mind to see that one day.
When guys like this go all the way back to the AIDS crisis and called it manufactured then when exactly is there ever a crisis? Whenever it’s not a moral ‘outrage’ then there are no crisis. Everything’s going great but some people are just bored and need to spice up their lives apparently.

PragerU is not perfect, but to act like they're doing something any worse than stupid leftist videos giving their woke/critical race theory and/or other leftist ideology take on history, current events, media, movies or whatever it be, it's all in the same realm as what PragerU does. It's all preachy bullshit. Funny thing is, as an old 90's liberal '90s who grew up fundamental Christian in the Midwest I left the church and religion behind because I loved 90s liberalism when it was live and let live, If you don't like it turn the channel, real civil liberties and against political correctness at all cost kind of awesomeness, You know real George Carlin kind of shit. With that background, you'd think I'd hate PragerU, but the left has become so infuriating with the religion like ideology and their constant bitching and moaning and preaching at you that now I find myself defending things like PragerU and other right-wing or religious shit. Congratulations leftist You become worst than fucking religious assholes.

Funny how that works, eh?
americans are lapdogs for the chosen tribe
How about a former Christian turned atheist, teaching a Jewish person about what's really in the old Scripture?
True story: I once heard a Jewish man claimed that the Devil, "Satan", was entirely made up by Christians for the Gospel -- that there's absolutely no mention of Satan in the Old Testament.
Me: Wait ... what about the Book of Job?? You know, the story of how God bumped into Satan while surveying the Earth, then the both of them made a bet on whether or not Satan could ruin Job's life to the point where Job would curse God to His face? Doesn't THAT predate Christianity?
Jewish Man: [surprised Pikachu face]
Not enough money in Judaism for Mr. Prager. He whored himself out to the Right-Wing Christian Evangelicals.
I mean, Christ was a Jewish man. Not necessarily that strange.
I remember when PragerU first came out, all the internet atheists came out to bash it, but as soon as they pivoted to anti-feminism, they all went mum.
what is the take away from that when you think about it?
I'm an atheist and i never fell for that anti-feminism anti-sjw crap. But i agree that an absurd amount of atheists got on that band-wagon.
As an ex orthodox jew, I find Prager videos to be repulsive and not representative of Jewish values. Embarrassing

It's often omitted that history is full of slavery often with black tribes enslaving other black tribes. It isn't a uniquely American problem. I think Georg should have pointed that out.
@@EbonyPope if it isn't are you ok with it happening right now again here in america? Would it be ok if black people sold other black people to say hispanics here and you could buy the children and rape them like the founding fathers of the united states often did? Would it be ok? Is that what you're attempting to promote with this ignorance?
If it isn't ok now it wasn't ok then and that is why people talk about it - so its never ok. If someone owns someone else and say keeps them in their basement - given who sold them to said person these rightwing weirdos would be totally ok with that - even if it was children. The same people who say the are pro life, worry about kids, and the family are like "well black people sold them so its all good".
This one time a black guy owned a black slave or sold a black slave in some remote place so owning millions of slaves in America isn't something we should talk about or analyze - right rightwingers? fk sake.
if people like Prager get this much space in public debate of a country it seems to me like that country is going to end on its knees
The irony of this is the PragerU spends so many episodes forecasting the collapse of the nation if you don't agree with them.
@@CookiesRiot exactly, their propaganda and (calculated?) hysteria might bring about what they bitch about all the time. Like a self-fulfilling prophecy. Bunch of assholes.
In a way, Prager was right about there being a new civil war since he helped start it. But he was wrong in saying that it isn't violent. White Christian Nationalism continues to rise in America, and it has been very violent.
@@CookiesRiotso they're engaging their own self-fulfilling prophecy.

Just like the public school system. Say that it doesn't work. Make their budgets dependent on local tax bases so poorer school districts are at a disadvantage. Classes rise in size because the school can't afford to pay for more teachers. Divert funds for failure to meet standards. Schools cut programs to focus on core classes. Divert funds to private and charter schools. Mobilize the base to harass school boards and elect individuals with certain views to boards. Teachers opt for retirement and not enough new teachers are available because of the added stress of working within an environment where they can be canned for not putting enough emphasis on divine right to rule. Schools fail.
Thank you. Doing the lord's work 🙏 oh wait...

Haha, I actually think his work is the Lord's work in a sense. It reminds me of a story told about a Spanish saint. While in church, a parishioner asked him to point out the holiest person in the room or something similar. The saint pointed at a window, at a little old Muslim lady moving outside the window.
The saint said she was the holiest in town, I forget, either because she actually followed her beliefs or because she simply behaved better than most of the local Catholics regardless of their beliefs.
@@iivin4233that's a really cool story,I'm gonna look it up

From Matthew:
Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
26 “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: 27 and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.
There is also a great part right before this:
Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Essentially, you have to actually walk the walk.
It made me laugh when you described Tim Poole bitterly describing how successful he is.
I can't believe Adam Corolla was preaching personal responsibility. This guy did like 20 years of Loveline, (basically an abuse victim hotline) and he has the balls to talk about personal responsibility
My parents are steeped in the Pragaer gravy train. Used to go to a synagogue where he lectured a lot at and even got to meet him in person like he was a celebrity.
Watching him now get clowned on on the internet (and rightfully so) during my college years has been a very strange experience, to say the least.
Highly recommend as a follow up video "Good Old P.U."
Fantastic video, as usual! Thank you for continuing to make intelligent, entertaining, humorous little works of art for us!
You know what's most hilarious to me is the whole "Feelings over facts" thing started on the right. It was being said absolutely unironically in 2015-2016 on places like Fox News.
Somewhere along the lines, that totally flipped.
in 2017 Disney announced it was buying fox. the acquisition was complete in 2019
They only said it, because tragedy sells.
"We need god-based rules to keep us from our natural inclinations" is something only an *inherently* moral person would say!
That's funny.
Literally the opposite. An inherently moral person wouldn't need any outside rules. That's what "inherently" means.
@@unominous4759 They're being facetious.
Well we need morals one way or another because we behave like animals otherwise. I'll take Christian morality over atheistic nihilism anyday when it comes to our culture. I say that as an atheist.
@@unominous4759inherently moral people are not immune to corruption or mistakes based on morality.
In regards to Colombus being brought back to Spain in chains, there's some evidence to suggest that was less about morality and more about the Spanish crown using Tyranny as an esxuse to seize control if his assets and prevent any of their colonial governors from becoming too independent.
Also, one must remember that this is the same Spanish government that created the inquisition, and no one expected that.
This channel is only channel i follow I like video prior watching :) Keep them coming Georgy boy
These videos make me angry for all the right reasons, but dammit, I’m so tired.
Amazing video as always thank you for your work good sir.
That little giggle at the end melted my heart.
Georg just discovered that there is a political media industry.
20:00 I would be much more inclined to agree with Dennis if he hadn't also said multiple times that molesting children was ok... You're kind of giving the game away, Mr. Prager.
As an American in High school, I actually never knew that Columbus was tried for his crimes, I wonder why, 🤔🤔🤔.
That's because you are an American that studied in an American high school. Your education system sucks and your average person in the USA is dumb as a brick. That's why you have a president with Alzheimer's. You are also probably too young to have watched the TV mini-series from the 80's where that very thing was clearly depicted.
"We have to judge him by the standards of his own time." Looks like in his own time they judged him pretty harshly.
I remember being taught that he was tried for his crimes but I remember it being framed as unjust.
No words can describe my hatred towards Prager U.
You're the only person I've ever rang the bell for, congratulations.
Let's try to follow the reasoning to a logical conclusion here:
1. Without God-based rules people would be bad
2. Therefore people must be inherently bad
3. God created man in his own image
4. Therefore God must be bad
5. A bad God would make bad rules
6. People who follow God's bad rules become bad people
7. As are people who don't follow them
8. Both God and people, regardless of belief, are now bad
9. God has rendered himself inconsequential
how very simplistic. it's like you tried your hardest to pretend to understand and not understand at the same time. either you made giant mistakes on purpose because you really want to sound clever while thinking everyone else is too dumb to see it, or you genuinely made huge mistakes in your reasoning and should probably learn to know what you are talking about before you talk about it. there's literally no other way to look at that😂
Thank you so much for making this video!!!
I remember when Jesus said "thou shall not tippeth thy waitress"
They say judging the past with our modern views is throwing away the past, but throwing away the past is what we have to do anyway. Some people have very bad addictions to the past, and not like a historian or fantasist will dream or wonder about the past.
man there's a lot to pick apart with any of these propaganda videos.
prager's stuff is usually extremely oversimplistic, and deliberately misleading.
"because they do more crimes" is a very, very surface level observation. and is typical of the kinds of ways they explain anything.
reminds me of those npc meme videos the WHO put out over 2021-2022.
It's astounding how frequently I encounter people who actually think PragerU is _not_ propaganda.
The propaganda techniques aren't even subtle or good. Their videos scream, "I'm hiding something," "This is a lie, but I doubt you'll look it up," and, "I pulled this graph directly out of my @$$, and it stinks like it's been up there for years."
do you understand why they get made? why they say such simple things?
PragerU is not perfect, but to act like they're doing something any worse than stupid leftist videos giving their woke/critical race theory and/or other leftist ideology take on history, current events, media, movies or whatever it be, it's all in the same realm as what PragerU does. It's all preachy bullshit. Funny thing is, as an old 90's liberal '90s who grew up fundamental Christian in the Midwest I left the church and religion behind because I loved 90s liberalism when it was live and let live, If you don't like it turn the channel, real civil liberties and against political correctness at all cost kind of awesomeness, You know real George Carlin kind of shit. With that background, you'd think I'd hate PragerU, but the left has become so infuriating with the religion like ideology and their constant bitching and moaning and preaching at you that now I find myself defending things like PragerU and other right-wing or religious shit. Congratulations leftist You become worst than fucking religious assholes. Stop making me defend PragerU, or Trump another things I'm not a big fan of Just because they're nowhere near as bad as you and they're not anything that you say they are. You know we have the internet a smart person can research and look up what you're saying and disprove 90% of it.
Prager saying "thoughts aren't evil" is an illustration of how incompatible Judaism and Christianity are. It's very natural for Prager, a Jew, to think this, because (to my understanding) Judaism focuses more on action and ritual, and thoughtcrime is specifically a Christian addition. It's just galling to me that he otherwise basically erases this distinction and uses the offensive and inaccurate term "Judeo-Christian" as if that word isn't anything but antisemitic.
PragerU has as much credibility as a degree from Trump University.
Or a degree in gender studies.😂
@@ramigilneas9274- nice one, bro
Got em 😂😂
@danielcrafter9349 perhaps you could tell us why a degree in gender studies lacks credibility? Isn't the study of gender attitudes and legislation throughout history a legitimate academic field in social sciences and history? Studied at an established university of course, not some joke like prager.
@@tentringer4065 There are a thousand reasons.
Main one being that the things taught arent true. Second best being that the only job it prepares people for is being an online cunt.
@@ramigilneas9274 bro doesn't know anything about what gender studies is
Lmaaaaaao why are they ALWAYS people who couldn’t cut-it in Hollywood?! 🤣
Another Georg video let's gooo
Thanks again Georg
Awesome that you're covering PragerPew!
I really love your videos, Georgie. They seemingly get better each time. What I especially dig are the little supercuts in the beginning with fitting music underlining the general message of what is to come. Cool stuff!
"future generations are not responsible for the sins of the past" um pragur u? Isn't that like one of the core foundational beliefs of your religion that you're shoving down our throats? Like it really is a great microcosm of how they're happy to cherry pick things and ignore other things whenever it suits their ideology.
This is not a foundational belief of Judaism.
Surely you're not expecting religious reactionaries to hold any standards that aren't double standards.
@@t700e Exodus 34 has God telling Moses that he will punish children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation.
@@mattm8870 If the children keep participating in the sins of their parents, it is said they will be punished. This is what the passage means in context. If these children keep to the law and repent of their sins, they will be blessed.
Love your videos. Thank you!
They are like Saul Goodman entering the education sector
I want to see a break down of Jordan Peterson next
And its taken as gospel by so many gullible people. Who then defend it like their life depends on it.
One could say the same about marxist indoctrination in america, which has captured over 35% of the population and growing.

@@zoanth4 Demonizing your ideological opposition demonizes you aswell.
PragerU is partly responsible for stagnating or undoing lota of positive changes that america needs. Even something as universal in europe as public transportation or other alternatives touting it as some attack on some stupid american freedoms.
When you are most imprisoned nation under the sun, in shackles of crashing bdebt put onto every young adult going to umoversity due to tuitions, by havign to own cars and having no alternatives to move around cities that are following moronic designs from post war suburbia and car craze.
Medical bills you cannot pay for, and cost of living that makes you live like poor despite owning cars, houses with airconditioning leaving you with no money to spare.
Unsafe schools and completely out of control weapon posession.
Crashing poverty that breeds crime to no end.
Instead of working towards a better future for everyone;
you are too stuck up even consider these as real problems and act like its perfect as is.
All the while remaining ignorant to the fact that people in europe live and lead better lives on evey imaginable level for less money especially eastern europe.
Try to consider the points they make, evaluate the situation your country is in and work out some happy medium and get things going.
Instead going on some "marxist agenda" scare.
@@zoanth4Question: do you seriously think you’re gonna make anyone here go “huh, this religious weirdo has some really solid points?”
What a shame. The American War Machine is getting less money.
The "Remember when Jesus said..." B roll was an absolute treat, thank you Georg. Belly laughs
If he doesn't mention PragerU's connection to bulk-buying tickets so that Sound Of Freedom could become a box office hit, despite the empty theatres, I'll be a little sad.
are you suggesting.... what are you suggesting?
@@Mitchell_is_smart._You2bs_dumb It's just weird, and probably has something to do with an anti-woke agenda somehow.
6 million tickets sure are a lot.
What's scary is millions worldwide believe them
Most the world believes in allah and that scares me more
If I had one dollar for every "You know Israel is actually pretty cool guys" video on Prager I'd have about 20 dollars
Keep up the good work
I'd like to see the fine folks at PragerU try not to judge Judas Iscariot or Caligula by their own, modern standards.
Ah, man... that clip of that dude claiming people shouldn't be held responsible for things that happened centuries before they were born almost gave me an aneurysm. Not that it's a bad notion in itself, but just the fact it's being spouted by an organisation claiming to uphold "Judeo-Christian" values, which presumably includes the doctrine of Original Sin. 🤯 That and the argument that people are inherently evil.... god is (allegedly) good but created evil mini-me's so he could punish them when they, obeying the instincts *he gave them*, disobeyed him. It's all just absolute frothing madness. 😵💫
that's distinctly Catholic. i believe the term is for values shared by both the Jewish and Christian faiths. I'm not a doctor and have no idea if I'm way off. i just have heard lots of the back and forth
Great job Georg, many thanks.
I've heard Dennis P.'s type before. When they're talking about humans being inherently bad and whatnot, they're talking about themselves. He proves his guilt with his blathering about animated pederasty... remember when Jesus said animated pederasty is okay?!
I enjoyed that, Georg 👍🏾
