=== Valentine's Day Romance Talk (02:19) ===

[00:00:00]  Patty, Scottsdale, Arizona.
[00:00:01]  Hi.
[00:00:03]  Hi.
[00:00:05]  Hi, Bill.
[00:00:07]  I'm a little nervous.
[00:00:09]  Patty and John here, and we were listening to the Love and Romance Hour that you had right before Thanksgiving for Valentine's Day.
[00:00:21]  Right.
[00:00:21]  And we want to thank you because we are one of those couples, and we've been married 34 years, who have...
[00:00:29]  We had separated physically from one another, even though we've been married and we were happily married.
[00:00:35]  But intimately, we lost that ability.
[00:00:38]  And when I heard you, we listened that whole day.
[00:00:41]  And when you went through about saying how the survey was, how the top one thing that men would like for Valentine's Day gift was love and affection and romance.
[00:00:51]  And then we went through all the women's things, all five things and cards.
[00:00:56]  Jewelry, but none of them was having romance.
[00:00:58]  And so my husband, I really listened.
[00:01:00]  I have to tell you, I really listened.
[00:01:01]  And that day I said to my husband, watch the calendar.
[00:01:05]  He had no idea what I was talking about.
[00:01:07]  And I told him a couple times, just pay attention, watch the calendar.
[00:01:10]  And sure enough, we had a very romantic and wonderful Valentine's Day.
[00:01:16]  And it was because of you.
[00:01:19]  You made my day.
[00:01:22]  I really can't tell you.
[00:01:29]  I hope I meet the two of you.
[00:01:33]  I have so much I could say about that.
[00:01:36]  For those of you who didn't follow it entirely, and I don't know why you wouldn't, I was reading a survey before Valentine's Day, and it said, you know, 90% of men answered, what would you like for Valentine's Day?
[00:01:54]  It said sex.
[00:01:56]  And we spoke about that on the Male-Female Hour.
[00:01:59]  By the way, it's amazing.
[00:02:00]  I didn't even know that this was going to happen.
[00:02:03]  I mentioned to you the power of the Male-Female Hour.

=== Big Theological Difference (03:52) ===

[00:02:06]  And then here's a perfect example.
[00:02:09]  So go to the Prager store and enjoy yourself.
[00:02:14]  By the way, in case you don't know, and I know all of you who listen know this is true.
[00:02:21]  It's not pro-man and it's not pro-woman.
[00:02:23]  It's pro-both.
[00:02:27]  So, thank you.
[00:02:30]  Very often, couples come over with sort of that proverbial twinkle in their eye.
[00:02:37]  You know, just, Dennis, thank you for the bail female error.
[00:02:42]  And I look at the guy when it's a couple, and I go, sir, you owe me.
[00:02:49]  And they both go, yes, that is correct.
[00:02:53]  All righty, everybody.
[00:02:56]  Let's go to...
[00:02:57]  Gary wants to ask me about, if I don't believe Jesus is the Son of God, do you therefore believe he was a liar or crazy?
[00:03:09]  That is the famous question that is presented.
[00:03:13]  And what is it?
[00:03:14]  Is there three people, right?
[00:03:15]  I mean, not three people.
[00:03:16]  There were three choices, isn't it?
[00:03:18]  A liar, madman, or what he said he is.
[00:03:23]  Yeah, right, exactly.
[00:03:26]  I have not found that question to be a fully intellectually honest question.
[00:03:37]  First of all, one assumes that the non-Christian believes that everything in the Christian Scripture is as written.
[00:03:48]  Maybe Jesus did not say that.
[00:03:51]  It's obviously a Christian...
[00:03:56]  My view, in a nutshell, is that God uses Christianity to bring the world to the Ten Commandments, to the Torah, and to God.
[00:04:12]  So I not only don't have a problem with it, I want it to succeed.
[00:04:19]  Maimonides, who...
[00:04:21]  Who's the greatest Jewish thinker in Jewish history, 11th century, 12th century, said that, and acknowledged, Christianity has brought more people to the Torah than the Jews have.
[00:04:36]  So, I don't, I've never tried to, anyway, I never argue, as you know, I never argue faith, ever.
[00:04:43]  I argue morality, reason, politics, music, but I never argue faith.
[00:04:50]  But there's always at least one question with regard to this on Friday, and I sometimes ignore it, and sometimes I address it.
[00:05:01]  Today I addressed it.
[00:05:03]  By the way, I have a number of interesting, great dialogues with Christians coming up.
[00:05:10]  They're titled often, Ask a Jew, Ask a Gentile.
[00:05:14]  And when asked, I'll tell you the biggest difference.
[00:05:20]  It comes from, you know, one of the biggest pro-Christians.
[00:05:25]  I wish Christians were as pro-Christian as I am.
[00:05:28]  Many are, obviously.
[00:05:29]  Many aren't.
[00:05:30]  But I do believe that one earns one's way to heaven.
[00:05:36]  That is the theological, a big theological difference.
[00:05:43]  It doesn't matter to me, but I want you to know.
[00:05:48]  That's a big one.
[00:05:49]  As I have said, often my favorite word in English is earn.
[00:05:54]  Back in a moment.
