Summary

Are you ready for some serious soul stretching?  What kind of hitch-hiker would I stop for late at night?  Does human suffering prove that God is either impotent or cruel? Can people be good and decent without a belief in God? Does God and His Bible require people to renounce passion and exclude fun from their lives? Is belief in evolution a religious or scientific issue? Does God prefer poor people to rich? Science is terrible at telling us how to believe and horrible at informing us how to behave. It is not even much good at explaining things like gravity or colors or language. But it is outstanding at describing. Formulae, equations and theories all attempt to describe physical phenomena but never to explain them. Why didn't Einstein like the Big Bang Theory? Happy warriors are like salmon—we’re okay with swimming against the current. Just because the masses have been hypnotized and the crowds have been indoctrinated doesn’t change our beliefs or our behavior. Three cheers for happy warriors. This is the happy warrior’s textbook https://rabbidaniellapin.com/product/americas-real-war-ebook/ that I believe I wrote with Divine assistance.

the world really works. And that is only for you, you happy warriors, or you want to be happy

warriors, or you happy warriors in training. Thank you for being

0:40.1

part of the show and thank you for everything you've been doing in the last couple of weeks for

0:44.6

promoting the show because our numbers have skyrocketed very gratifyingly. For me, it's exciting.

0:52.3

It means that I find it easier to envisage each and every one of you

0:58.2

listening to the show which drives me to greater heights of achievement in terms of preparation

1:06.8

and in terms of delivery. So imagine there you are driving down the road a late one evening on a long

1:15.9

trip. You're going to be driving for the next nine or ten hours. You're expecting to arrive at your

1:23.5

destination at about 7 a.m. in the morning and you've got a long way to go. It's six or

1:31.0

seven in the evening, and you're driving along, and you see a man hitchhiking by the side of the road.

1:37.4

You don't know what came into you. Maybe you were just filled with a sense of gratitude that

1:43.1

instead of standing by the side of the road,

1:45.5

you are driving a comfortable, safe, fast moving automobile that is a pleasure to drive.

1:54.3

And you just felt that you were overflowing with gratitude.

1:58.0

And you wanted to share some of that.

1:59.4

And you stopped.

2:00.7

And the man climbs in and becomes a passenger on your journey.
