The Arrogance of Values by Dennis Prager

Dennis Prager is publishing a number of columns:

I am arguing in this series of columns titled, "The Case for Judeo-Christian Values," that Judeo-Christian values -- as developed and expressed specifically, though not only, in America -- constitute the finest value system in the world. If you care about goodness, justice and compassion prevailing in an often evil, unjust and cruel world, you should hope that Judeo-Christian values predominate on earth.

Is such an attitude, that there is a best value system, arrogant -- or even chauvinistic or racist?

He goes on to argue that this attitude is neither arrogant, chauvinistic nor racist.

I am arguing that the Judeo-Christian value system as developed on the basis of the Hebrew Bible (the Old Testament) and developed largely by Christians, and especially in America, is the best value system ever devised. I believe it is superior to all other value systems with which I am familiar. I believe that as a moral system for a society, it is superior to that of the secular/socialist values that dominate Europe and the left in America, and to any other religion. And as I argued in Part VIII, Judeo-Christian values are even larger than Judaism or Christianity alone.
