Hi, this is Dennis Prager, and as always, thank you for subscribing to my CDs, tapes, or however you receive my talks.

The one you're about to hear I gave to an evening sponsored by the North Park Christian Academy in Valencia, California.

And it was a lecture series fundraiser that they had organized.

And the topic they requested me to talk on was, do we need God to be good? Or do we have to believe

in God to be good or whatever related topic it might be? And it's a very important topic.

But I do need to tell you that there was so much laughter on the part of the audience in this

tape. There was a lot of humor in this talk

that I'm a little self-conscious because it almost sounds like I inserted a laugh track,

but I promise you I didn't, this is really the audience reaction. So while there is a lot of humor,

it's a very serious topic.

And I do hope in particular you will share it with anybody who has problems with the issue of linking God and morality, God and goodness.

So here goes, and as always a big thank you for me.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Dennis Bricker.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Always a little uneasy when people before I speak.

Always a little uneasy when people like me before I speak.

I'm so used to talking to people who don't agree with me that I get nervous.

Because I can only blow it.
