Surprising to hear Prager say that about lust. I'd be quite curious to get his take on Job 31, where it is plainly stated that lusting after a woman is sin: [+]I have made a covenant with my eyes. How then could I look at a young woman? For what portion would I have from God above, or what inheritance from the Almighty on high? Doesn’t disaster come to the unjust and misfortune to evildoers? Does He not see my ways and number all my steps? If I have walked in falsehood or my foot has rushed to deceit, let God weigh me in accurate scales, and He will recognize my integrity. If my step has turned from the way, my heart has followed my eyes, or impurity has stained my hands, let someone else eat what I have sown, and let my crops be uprooted. If my heart has been seduced by my neighbor’s wife or I have lurked at his door, let my own wife grind grain for another man, and let other men sleep with her. For that would be a disgrace; it would be a crime deserving punishment. For it is a fire that consumes down to Abaddon; it would destroy my entire harvest. (Job 31:1-12)

Prager likes to preach about how being married and having children will make you a better person. And yet, he says that if your marriage lacks intimacy, the man should turn to pornography? He's also been married a few times already, how can I possibly take advice from someone who has been married a lot of times? I have agreed with him on many things, but I also disagree with him on other things too, this being one of them.

Although Dennis Prager is a conservative and I can agree with him on "certain" things related to politics, he as usual plays the reprobate. He doesn't even remotely understand God's view of the problem of the inner man, and his own fleshly ways. Jeremiah 17:9 for instance. It's a fundamental misunderstanding of fallen human nature and how God views it, and our desperate need of a savior. He's really just a modern day version of the Pharisees, only concerned with the outward keeping of the law. I've actually heard him say explicitly that he will go to heaven because of his good works. Which is of course delusional, but also a gross misunderstanding of God's very nature...His purity, His moral perfection, His holiness, and His requirements. I guess he thinks that God is going to wink at all the sin he's committed in his life, grade him on the curve. He still breathes, so there is hope.

Prager's take does not even work for Judaism. God will not accept sacrifices from the unrepentant, which is not how it should work if the action of offering was still worth something without the proper intention. This framing actually turns the Torah into a magic manual.

I can see why dennis took heat for this stance however i do understand the rationale behind his statement. He was saying that pornography is a lesser of 2 evils when it comes to lust or the desire for men to lust after women that are not their wife. It is just in the nature of man to have big sexual appetities. Not all men of course have this but some men just have extremely strong libidos that they cannot just ignore and shut it down. A woman is not a sexual machine and of course women cannot just have sex on demand at any time. Men by their nature have greater sexual needs than woman. If they need to relieve their sexual tension pornography is less severe in that it is more of a sin that is done internally and alone than to actually go and have sex with another woman that isnt their wife. It is a lesser of two evils situation. Would it be better to have no other needs and only want to have sex when the wife wants it, of course. However man is fallen and is not just a machine and our weaknesss are hardwired in us assuming you believe in god and that he created us with these flaws. Lust or coveting is an internal sin. It is something that is an internal struggle and is less consequential than say murder or adultery which physically impacts others. Again this isnt a defense of porn or to say that it is a good thing. This is just to say that it shouldnt be equated with adultery and that any man who does it is just a dirty scoundrel. We learned this with the metoo movement. Sexual harrassment is not the same as rape or sexual assault. This isnt to say that sexual harassment is fine but even in terms of crimes or sins there are degrees. The metoo movement coflated everything together and said a man who may have made a lude joke or comment is the equivalent of a rapist and it is the same harm done. That is ridiculous.

I think Dennis Prager is more of a “literalist” in terms of the Law, not necessarily in agreement with Orthodox Jews who have v developed very sophisticated ways of understanding the _Spirit_ of the law rather than just the outward letter. I think that has lead them, like Kabbalists, to recognize the deeper mental and spiritual origins of our impulses and sins.

Laws are often intentionally complicated, ambiguous and broad as to give the state undue power to dominate the people. The American Founders were well-aware of this unfortunate, historical fact and enshrined into our Constitution itself the true principle that this document (the supreme law of the land) derives its authority and power not from a King or a government, but the people themselves. In other words, “the law” is subservient to the people, not the other way around. Ultimate deference is given to the people, not to the law, not to the courts, not to the Supreme Court… but to the people. In other words, the Founders proposed that the Law or the State is not the God we bow to, the people bow to the God who gave them life, who exists and is expressed in human hearts, who adjudicates through human consciousness. The American Founding is a prime example of “interiority” - and I’m sure Prager would agree and support that fact. Strange that he seems to have an inconsistency in his thinking. How does he deny the interior supremacy that is inherent to something I know he supports like American founding itself?

What Denis Prager says is NOT TRUE. Ultra religious Jews observe "Guarding of the eyes". It is a sin to look at things you are not supposed to look at. Including unmodest looking women, and of course Porn. There is even a Jewish law based on a Talmud saying - A voice in a woman is Erva (equivalent of nakedness) - that forbids listening to the song of women. And that is even without the commandment thou shall not covet the wife of your friend. Or about how masturbation is a SERIOUS sin in Judaism. Saying even that it creates Demons in the world. And it can be taken literally or metaphorically.

I'm not a Jew, and not a Prager follower, but I also have a lot of problems with modern Christianity. I feel like you are not listening to what Prager said. He didn't say that thoughts are unimportant, he said he is "less" interested in thoughts than behavior. Again, he didn't say thoughts are unimportant. We all have thoughts we shouldnt think, it's what we do with those thoughts that is important. Likewise, he didn't say he is pro porn or that porn is ok, he just said it's better than having a physical affair. Your reading between his lines too much and putting words in his mouth, and worse, your putting thoughts in his mind that he isn't necessarily thinking.
