PragerU Master’s Program with Dennis Prager Season 1, Episode 4: Is Human Nature Basically Good?
Is human nature inherently good? In episode four of PragerU Master’s Program, exclusively on DailyWire+, Dennis Prager’s sobering answer is no. In a radically secular age, believing that we’re basically good absolves us of any blame, or a religious moral code, or even the need to teach people how to be good. Despite history’s atrocities, from war to slavery to animal cruelty or just incivility in general, Dennis argues that this enlightened way of thinking has ironically done more harm than good.

“If people weren’t brainwashed into thinking religion is awful and is for dummies, religion would be the first thing every single pro-human, anti-depression group would advocate.” In Part II of PragerU Master’s Program, exclusively on DailyWire+, Dennis Prager contends that the rise of secular extremism has led to the death of communal life, and by extension, our happiness. Even though it is a fact that actively religious people are significantly happier than secular people, the true calamity is that people still reject it to their detriment.

Happiness is a Moral Obligation
"The most effective argument for atheism is an unhappy religious person.” God made us to be happy, not unhappy. In episode three of PragerU Master’s Program, exclusively on DailyWire+, Dennis Prager makes a powerful argument for acting happy - even when we don’t feel happy. We not only owe it to God to be happy, we owe it to everyone in our life. Ultimately, we are not the product of our feelings but our behavior, and like our founding fathers said, "happiness is something to pursue".

In fact, the gap between right and left is gigantic, permeating all levels of society.
