“I am the only male I know of who’s transfixed by the different types of shampoos,” said Dennis Prager on his show Jan. 12, 2010.
On Mar. 22, 2013, a caller told Dennis, “Your hair is always so flawlessly beautiful.”
Dennis replied, “I’m blessed with my mother’s hair. It’s not a factor of shampoo. My mother had a beautiful full-head of white hair until she left us at 89 and I inherited that.”
* On his show Mar. 21, 2013, Dennis said: “I never ever think about whether God loves me and I am deeply God-centered. I have taught the Bible my whole [adult] life. All I ask is what does God want from me.”
On Mar. 22, 2013, Dennis said: “I want God judging. If God doesn’t judge, I want to be an atheist. The idea that God doesn’t judge not only doesn’t appeal to me, it is antithetical to everything I believe about God. I am more interested that God judges than that God loves. If God loves and doesn’t judge, that’s more frightening to me than God judging and not loving. I think He’s both.”
“This notion of hate the sin and love the sinner has never made that much sense to me. You wipe out whole villages and run a concentration camp and have orgies in Pyongyang while sentencing your people to eat bark, and I’m not supposed to hate you? I think you’re scum. How do you love good people if you don’t hate bad people? I’m not an air conditioner. An air conditioner blows out cool air whether it is Hitler in the room or Mother Theresa. When religion is reduced to an air conditioner, it is worse than useless.
“But we live in an age that hates only one thing — people who hate evil. People who judge are the only people who are really hated. Not people who exterminate human beings or run torture mills. Not the guy who raped an eight-year-old girl. We don’t hate him. We hate the person who hates the rapist. I hate it when religion is an accomplice to moral imbecility.”
* On Mar. 22, 2013, Dennis said: “I’m a big believer in and pracitioner of monogamy, but there a lot of sins in marriage that could be worse [than adultery]. I’d rather live with someone who had a brief affair than somebody who mistreated me every day and stayed faithful. Whenever I hear of somebody decent who had an affair, I also want to know what if anything precipitated it… Decent people who have an affair, it’s usually a symptom of something going on.”
* On March 20, 2013, Dennis said: “When I was a student, the last thing that we thought of was expressing ourselves. We believed that society, named the school, had certain principles that we conformed to or left the school or embraced those differences as adults.”
* On Mar. 20, 2013, Dennis described the ACLU “as the single most destructive organization in the United States.”
“The ACLU has more money than any school district. They just bully their way. People are just intimidated. The ACLU are left-wing bullies. Anything that represents traditional values must be destroyed.”
“Civil liberties in this country are so well protected that they have nothing left to do but to destroy Judeo-Christian civilization as we have known it. They loathe it.”
* Meeting wealthy Jews in shul on Shabbos is like meeting Catholics in Rome, but I never tire of meeting people who’ve accomplished something with their lives, whether it is wealth or knowledge or family or good deeds.
* When most people get into a relationship, they stop taking care of themselves, unconsciously expecting their new partner to take that over. This equals disaster.
* I walked around with such a swagger on Shabbos, it’s been a long time since I had a swagger.
