Judao-Christians assume that Dennis Prager's question will prove how being religious is a good thing. But the question only allows for a Yes answer if the time, place, and social place of the Bible studiers involved are amenable to whomever is being asked the question. So the "Am I black?" answer is a brilliant way of handling a loaded Y/N question like this. Before you check in with Ben Shapiro or Tucker Carlson and try to argue with me, take a chill pill and just answer the question without the assumptions Prager and yourself are making. Examples: You are a white American and the 12 religious men are Muslim; You are Muslim and the 12 religious men are white Christians coming back from a funeral for their white friend who just died in a suicide bombing; You are a redheaded atheist and 4 of the religious men are Palestinian Muslims, 4 are Jews, 4 are Christians in the U.S. Military... Hopefully, you get the idea now.

Only if you were the same religion, when they've been indoctrinated to think it's a good and holy act to beat up someone of another religion.

Theists can't think past the own wonderful imaginings. Go to Baghdad and ask this question of a Christian and show that religion does have an evil side.

Saying yes or no means nothing.

But any honest person knows the answer.

Religion doesn't make people trustworthy. So it wouldn't only go down to how trusting you were of people's character. Good people can have the potential for bad just as much as anyone else. It's the action that defines them

How many hutterites do you go fishing with? Two so they both watch your beer.

None of this has anything to do with whether or not God is.

not the point, point is a lot of religious people are righteously blood thirsty in the name of their gods

The point is whether belief in god(s) is good for society. The answer is no.

Mark Williams, nor does your comment have anything to do with this video context.

How has this got 20k likes? It's edited before he gives his thought-provoking answer.

Boo. I don’t get the logic…? It’s almost pure hypocrisy. Yeah if I saw 12 shadowy dudes walking up I’d be naturally nervous. But if they stop to say hey man can we pray for you? I’d be like let’s do it. If you aren’t Christian you can politely refuse. But logically yeah I’d feel safer around 12 Christian dudes from a prayer meeting than 12 “hells angels” for example.

wheres the answër ??

Do i think the brace is worth as much as you think this fuss over it is worth?

As a gay man Less safe

This isn’t the complete segment.

"... would you feel safer or less safe..." doesn't allow for a yes/no answer ! So I think the only plausible answer would, literally be "yes or no".

For all the Atheist saying this Short is incomplete : it'll be the same thing if you encounter 9 men coming from a baseball game... If you use the bat for physical aggression, other than the baseball ball... Well you see the point.

A Dennis Prager question. Dennis does fairly well until he talks religion. When he does, his mind simply stops working.

I believe his response was something like “You know exactly how fast to run.”

He was so amazing.. I so wonder what his opinions about our current situation would be..

Thoughts and prayers are how we got this messed up

If I find myself in that situation...I would run like hell. 😂

He gives an outstanding response to this which is CUT from the short 🤧

👍👌.. ..

it's not a yes or no question

Useless post ..

Correct, your post is.

Its a statement on the quality of so called religions islam being the target here. Perfectly valid. Thanks for the short.

Christianity is the target here.

Q: Would you feel more or less safe in that situation? (Answer can only yes or no.) A: Yes.

Even in Belfast? Even in Tehran? Even in Ryahd?

A dozen religious fanatics meet Hitchens in a dark alley …. And the question is whether Hitchens would feel safe

So he was against religion because he believed it promoted violence, but was pro-war when it came to Iraq. He was a hypocrite.

In America if they were Muslim christan Jewish catholic or Mormon, I’d feel safer. They might even help me.

Why edit out the answer?

Depends on which religion

I'd feel less safe because i'm gay and religious people hate gays.

I wish he was still around.What a mind.

He always tried to equate all religions as being the same.

Of the three Abrahamic religions other than the doctrine that is believed to be true, what is the difference between any religion? They all accept unbelievable things on faith, they all think they know the truth, they all believe they’re saved and all others are not, they all believe that everyone outside their faith will be and should be punished.

Your intelligence was not squared, it was a tiny fraction for this one. Zero purpose to this clip without having his answer.

His response was: Firstly, it's not a yes or no type question. Secondly, that without leaving the letter "B" he did have that experience in Belfast, Beirut, Bengal, Bosnia and a couple of others that escape memory, and that he would run in the opposite direction. That's from memory so not verbatim.

Again he NEVER answers the questions!

Depends on the religion

And the team is coming from the mosque 😱😱😱 Run away.....

"Would you feel more or less safe?" "Yes"

Well??

LOL his only sane answer has to be "I would feel safer"

Theist morons can't even come up with a question which can be answered with 'yes' or 'no'

I would think they were a gang of child molesters

Answer no. They could be fundamentalist Muslims that really believe all infidels must be killed.

Wonder if he is in hell? If so he believes now!

12 Muslims or 12 Christians very different outcome, right.

“Comrades”, so you’re a Communist, Like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, Kim Jong Un?

It's straightforward. Intelligence vs religious stupidity. Want proof of it? Show me a single arab country which achieved anything decent without oil. There is none. That's why they like to come here, claim our work fruits and criticise our reason.

This guy single handedly destroyed religion in the West. He's a hero.

Were you truthful when you said no?

I generally trust religion less than I trust police or lawyers, that's saying something

You can’t answer yes or no to that question. It offers a choice, it’s not a closed question
