Dennis Prager says belief in a judging God who evaluates humanity between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur keeps him sane. Without divine judgment, he argues, evil goes unpunished and good unrewarded, making the world despicable. This conviction gives him peace.
God judges the world these 10 days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. That bothers a lot of people, and to me it is the sanity keeper. If I didn't believe God judged people, which brings me to the death issue, I would be a less happy human being. A lot of my peace of mind rests on my belief that God judges, punishes, and rewards. If the evil get away with what they do and the good who suffer are not compensated in the afterlife, God has made a very despicable world. And I don't believe he has. So it is my sanity keeper, my belief in a judging God. For the full episode of The Dennis Prager Show, go to pragertopia.com, sign up, and become a full member.
