| Summary, Etc. |
"We live in a time when people increasingly make moral determinations based on feelings. But if feelings determine what is right and wrong, then it is likewise no more than an opinion whether murder, rape, and theft are wrong... Prager explains that, without objective morality, the world will descend into chaos, with every individual engaging in any behavior they feel is right... The reader need not be religious or even believe in God to find the arguments and debates in this book compelling and meaningful. All one needs is reason to appreciate the ideas Prager presents"--Flap page 1 of dust jacket.

| Summary, Etc. |
If There Is No God argues that a stable moral framework requires belief in objective standards rooted in religion, particularly Judeo-Christian values. Dennis Prager contends that increasing reliance on subjective feelings to judge right and wrong undermines moral clarity and social order. Through examples, audience interactions, and philosophical discussion, he examines questions about good and evil, suffering, and justice, asserting that without a transcendent moral authority, society risks moral relativism and disorder. The book presents these arguments as accessible to both religious and nonreligious readers.
