Often, the best path to understanding is to ask a question. Having faith in God results in a lifetime of questions. It is for this reason that Dennis Prager, talk show host, professor, author, and one of the founders of PragerU, wrote “If There is No God: The Battle Over Who Defines Good and Evil.”
He explained in the preface: “Most people have the same questions on the same subjects, but most have given up on posing them.”
A Q&A Approach to Moral Questions
Thus, the book is organized as a question-and-answer session, since—as he shares in the preface—“over the years, [he’s] done more talks and answered more questions.” A question is posed, and then commentary and examples follow. For example, he leads with “Why Do People Hurt Other People?” To answer, he provides historical examples, especially referencing Adolf Hitler and the Nazis, and he also focuses on more current atrocities in such places as Somalia.
