Penn Jillette delivered an interesting essay recently for NPR. As part of the series, "This I Believe," where people are asked to write essays that examine the beliefs that rule/guide their lives. I’ve always thought Jillette was an amazing showman, an accomplished conman, and a highly intelligent man, but this piece is really interesting for a number of reasons. The first, and possibly the most attractive, is that he found a way to circumvent some of the rules, but above that, he offers an intelligent argument for the NON-existence of God.

Interesting. I felt like I needed “Imagine” by John Lennon playing in the background while reading that. I’m not convinced though.
I find myself in agreement with Dawn’s choice of music to accompany the article. Interesting how any discussion of God et al. becomes more than slightly self-righteous and self-serving.
On a completely unrelated note.. Can you send me your email address? Charlie and I are changing sites, and we want to email you the new address when it comes about.
Thanks!
I just Teller do an essay, also on NPR, on his encounter with a dolphin; thanks for sharing this!
Where have you been lately? Working too hard? 🙂
Yes, where are you? Is “The Last Boy Scoput” worth watching? Need an answer by 9 pm if possible. After all you are Bruce Willis’s foremost fan…
