What's worse is the theists who claim that they'd be out living a life of crime if not for their belief in god.
They really are laying their moral cards on the table, aren't they? I agree with the point that fundie Christians who act out of fear of God really are just doing the coerced thing, not the right or moral thing. Beyond that I'm not interested to hear most of what Penn has to say. His philosophy, like his rhetoric, are from the blow hard school.
