Penn & Teller vs the Bible in Season Two

» Watching

So long already faithless, skeptical that I'm normally not interested in proofs that irrational people believe groundless and foolish things. But Penn & Teller's Bullshit was funny. The guy with the magnet helmet alone was worth the time spent watching. Ah, the Feng Shui episode: watching a few expensive frauds contract one another in their presentation of home decoration aligned with the cosmic and spiritual forces. Since I no longer have cable TV I won't get to see season two until it comes out on DVD.

'This season we are doing Bible BS, because the Bible does have claims you can look into with archaeology . . . Things like perhaps the Jews being enslaved by the Egyptians, which looks like most of the archaeology now says that probably never happened,'' Jillette says. ``You're looking at someone who's going to get a bullet in his head, there's no doubt about it.''

No one's safe -- not even Jesus

I’m a straight white middle-aged female living in suburbia and I was on the floor laughing. Thank GOD, someone in this country has a brain! Faith is fine (which is why it is called FAITH), but come on, parting the sea? water into wine? rising from the dead? Get a grip. And, no, you can’t pick and choose the convenient parts of the Bible. I felt a strange connection, almost spiritual, to Penn & Teller after watching this.

How do you feel?

Feel free to share your feelings about Penn & Teller vs the Bible in Season Two. Please stick to the theme of the entry. Disagreement is fine. Homophobia, racism, and kindred expressions of hatred will be deleted. This site is one of my hobbies. I genuinely enjoy hearing from people and hate moderating or killing comments. Forthright disagreement is fine as long as it is civil.
My thanks,
Richard
