An Atheist Speaks Out on Proselytizing

Penn Jillette, half the Penn and Teller comedy team, and an avowed atheist, made some fascinating comments on his video blog after a man presented a Gideon Bible to him at the conclusion of one of his shows. You might be taken back on what he has to say about proselytizing. I know he took me by surprise.

Agree with Mr. Jillette? Disagree? Either way, he will make you think!

    This deserves a comment because it illustrates the power of love. What I think he is getting at is that he felt this as an expression of love. This may be the only time he has truly seen God, in so far as one defines God as love. This is powerful and undeniable, even to the atheist.

    Great observation. I know I was thinking that other people would have been highly offended and yet he was obviously moved. I think you nailed what he sensed in the encounter.
