Are we born good?

What is the point of the video? Does he honestly think that he is sharing some great secret or personal inspiration? All he did is spout the obvious. We are born naive and innocent and learn from there. We do have free will or a mind if you prefer and we can choose(at least to some extent) what we will do and think.

This is what he is saying.

19 For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and putteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father.

What are you talking about? Prager just finished telling us that children are not good. They are like blank slates and we need to teach them what is good and bad.. Why should we be like children? They are naive and just play follow the leader(strongest or possibly just a bully). While I understand the scripture you quoted, I think that Prager is just a windbag. He acts like he is spouting some ancient secret wisdom. Then on top of that he is a hypocrite.

I do not see why you see good in a bitter man like Richard Dawkins and then call Dennis Prager a hypocrite. Out of all the people I've heard on the radio he is the one with the most integrity.
