Penn Jillette on atheism: End religion, don't replace it
#14
RE: Penn Jillette on atheism: End religion, don't replace it
Pragmatism = “what works” Yes?

Ergo Penn Jillett has to get past all those evangelical preachers to get his point across. This may not suit the Teutonic mind but there is the rub. Get out of your Teutonic mindset and try to understand how other cultures think feel and respond to such as Penn Jillet.

You don’t HAVE to agree with the guy but he does bring some valid points to the table…such as

“You don’t like atheism? Then ditch religiosity and there will BE NO atheism”
