A Fantastic Rebuttal to Dennis Prager’s Tribute to the Ten Commandments
June 25, 2017 by Hemant Mehta

Conservative commentator Dennis Prager once made a video promoting the Ten Commandments. It was a silly video, in part because the list is indefensible. (Praying to false idols? Blasphemy! Slavery? Didn’t make the cut.)

YouTuber Alex J. O’Connor (a.k.a. CosmicSkeptic) just published an excellent response to that piece, going through the video a few lines at a time. Because it’s never too late to promote rational thinking in the face of nonsense.

It’s always frustrating when a video like Prager’s gets more than a million views while the rebuttals get a mere fraction of that. But considering how often politicians refer to the Ten Commandments as a form of guidance for everyone, to the point that they want to erect monuments of it, there’s no reason to keep quiet about how awful a list it is. So keep those rebuttals coming.
