Summary

Dennis and Sue’s beloved Otto died, and while Dennis laments society equating animals and humans… he reflects on this palpable loss. The experience made Dennis realize that people choose pain to live a fuller life. Thinking about one’s own death… helps one to live a fuller life. Inspired by G.K. Chesterton, Julie shares the significance of stories, fairy tales, and mythology… how they shape countries and individuals, and that sharing them helps to pass on values and teach connections with the past. We live in a society where unpleasant facts are not to be acknowledged. Topics include: the ear is deeper than the eye; the story of The Four Sons; Kamala Harris now believes in “climate anxiety”; Americans …we have manufactured all our problems; confrontation …how far do you go in private life exposing your values? As a public figure should you be private about your dating life; in what area of life do you strive to be excellent; For Goodness Sake – do people care about being a good person; dating dress codes; healthy honesty in the sexual realm.

0:00.0	Hey everybody, the Dennis and Julie podcast, there's nothing like this in this particular
0:28.9	universe. However, if there is a multiverse, there might be not just a Dennis. Julie
0:35.6	ought to be a Julian Dennis, because everything is possible in a multiverse.
0:40.1	Do you think there's life beyond this planet? We're just going right in. No, I don't. I
0:44.9	really don't think we're alone in the universe. So when you say multiverse, all this is
0:49.3	the way in which the way atheists get out of the problem of the exceedingly great odds
1:03.5	against life and even the world existing. So for there to be life on a planet, intelligent
1:11.1	life, especially, so much had to go right that it defies all odds. So what they say is,
1:20.1	oh well, if there is an infinite number of universes, then it makes sense that there
1:25.7	would be life on one of them. But if there is no existing other universe, they're sort
1:33.6	of screwed because they have to acknowledge, design looks like the most logical answer.
1:41.8	And you know what's funny about that? They don't recognize that that is a form of faith.
1:46.4	When atheists say, oh, science will explain how life emerged from non-life. Isn't that
1:51.9	having faith in something? Isn't what you just said having a religion of sorts?
1:57.0	You just heard Julie Hartman. I didn't say her last name earlier. Or mine.
2:01.9	The audacity. We just dove right in. I'm sorry. That was good. No, no, that's good.
2:08.4	So I think we should open up with the news of the Prager family. We're beloved. And he
2:16.3	really, I have to say he really was beloved. Otto died this week. So I got it. I have to
2:24.8	share with you some thoughts. I cannot get over the hurdle of not, I don't want to ever
2:38.2	equate animals and humans. And a lot of times when I ask people, do you have children?
2:45.7	They'll say no, I have two dogs or two cats. And I'm a little troubled by it because it's
2:54.7	not the same thing. But I think to a lot of people, it might be. And I'm not knocking
