FollowGreg Stier over at Dare 2 Share just emailed me about a YouTube video he just saw… fascinating!
I don’t know if you are familiar with the comedian Penn, of “Penn and Teller.” They are quite popular. Penn is an atheist and is always quick to point out phonies. In this particular video… he surprised me. He had an experience with a guy in his audience who kindly gave him a Gideon Bible. Penn was very complementary of this guy’s attitude and methodology. That’s huge!
Penn, a self-proclaimed atheist, goes on to argue that if we think someone is going to Hell, we should definitely warn them. He argues that we shouldn’t keep our religion to ourselves. We SHOULD prosthelytize. After all, he says, “If I believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that a truck was coming at you and you didn’t believe it. There’s a certain point where I tackle you. And this is more important than that.”
Yeah. Very cool.
It takes him a couple minutes to set up his story (he’s very artsy)… but it’s worth the wait. Watch what he says. Good stuff.

Wow! Good job Mr. Gideon Bible dude! Very cool.
Greg blogged about it as well on his blog today: http://www.gregstier.org/

man, i love it when you find this stuff. Penn is militant in his atheism. it’s to filthy to link but watch 1 minute of penn and teller’s show bull**** on the Bible on youtube and you’ll get his drift. this christian affected him deeply. “how much do you have to hate someone to think they’re going to hell and not tell them about the way to get to heaven?” good question. thanks
i posted a comment on this earlier and something has been bothering me, i’m not sure if this christian Effected Penn or Affected Penn. either way it’s a good story.
