Social Media: \u2018Hallelujah\u2019\">moral values<\/a>, which are more foundational to creating and maintaining a healthy society. Prager notes that most religious Jews, Catholics, Protestants, and Mormons are in agreement on basic propositions of right and wrong.<\/p>\n<h3>Basic Propositions of Right and Wrong<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>There is one God.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>There are objective moral truths, rooted in God.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Good and Evil are the same for all people.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>God is the source of our rights.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The human being is created in the image of God.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The world is based on divine order; order rests on distinctions.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Man is not basically good.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>As human nature is not inherently good, natural inclinations are poor moral guides.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Human beings have free will.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>The Ten Commandments.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Prager argues that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-are-judeo-christian-values\/\" title=\"Judeo-Christian values: What are they?\">secular movements denying<\/a> these tenets are prone to falling into moral and metaphysical relativism, where basic categories such as good and evil or man and woman become subjective and indeterminate, resulting in dysfunction, disorder, and misery.<\/p>\n<p>Prager also highlights the Ten Commandments of the Mosaic Law as a framework for a moral society.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIf everyone lived just by the Ten Commandments,\u201d he said, \u201cwe wouldn\u2019t need armies, or even police.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Prager also argues that the two religions need each other: The New Testament could not exist without the Old Testament, and many of Christianity\u2019s core principles come from Judaism, but Christianity has spread those values to a far, far larger audience than Judaism.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Prager argues that the Judeo-Christian tradition is the bedrock of the American experiment.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThe ultimate embodiment of Judeo-Christian values has been the United States of America,\u201d Prager said. \u201cAmerica\u2019s founders were Christian, some culturally, some theologically, who were rooted in the Old Testament.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Citing the cultural influence of Judeo-Christian tradition even on the non-Christian founders, Prager noted that <a href=\"https:\/\/founders.archives.gov\/documents\/Franklin\/01-22-02-0330#:~:text=On%20July%204%2C%201776%2C%20Franklin,a%20version%20of%20his%20own.\">Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson<\/a>, who described themselves as deists, proposed a national seal of the United States that depicted God leading the Israelites out of Egypt.<\/p>\n<h3>Watch the Video:<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><b><a class=\"c-link c-link--focus-visible\" href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dennis Prager regrets that despite the popularity of Judeo-Christian values, few can express them.
