And also, be nice to Atheists who do not proselytize...they aren't doing it, because, they love you.

Also, Penn Jillette is an American illusionist, comedian, musician, inventor, actor, and best-selling author known for his work with fellow magician Teller in the team Penn & Teller.

He is also known for his advocacy of atheism, scientific skepticism, libertarianism and free-market capitalism.

His partner Teller is also an atheist, debunker, skeptic.

I really enjoy their work and their views.

Ditto!

I just want to compliment MOST posters here. This is a very volatile subject, and there have been some extremely heartfelt, revealing posts.

I appreciate that. things could have gone way south....FAST.


Thanks, so much!

Ian and Gary, sorry about getting Penn's nationality wrong. I do not think the point Penn makes works in reverse but will continue the discussion in the bar.

I just wanted to temper some of the surprisingly aggressive approaches taken by some of the atheists on the board to Henni's passionate arguments. It looks like I did a poor job!

Actually, I thought Henni was rather aggressive in his approaches as well...but two wrongs don't make a right all the same.(I don't think that's in the bible).

As stated earlier, things pertaining to religion or god can be volatile and easily get out of hand...remember we are "writing" responses, and facial expressions and body language can't be seen.

Mate,

When it comes to the things of GOD I am extremely aggressive. So was Jesus. Much, much is at stake here.

Please discuss over at the bar & not over here.
