Penn & Teller: The Bible
What Penn and Teller are saying is reality, of which a bible has very little. Unfortunately people with belief cannot separate fiction and reality.
You have proof of the belief of god that you can show me that is happening right here and now and not in a book of stories collected over many years written by many people that I have to "believe" is true?
What is "reasonable" about believing in anything (aka faith) without proof that can be demonstrated and verified?
And you don't believe in evolution?

Mauricio,
I once took a transgender Jehovah Witness home after i got off work from a nightclub that i worked at in downtown Oslo, Norway circa 1999. We were making love dogie-style and then i noticed something odd. First, she was really tight. Too tight. I know, i know...is there such a thing? The other thing was that she kept on turning around and smiling at me and quoting the Jehovah Witness Watchtower magazine to me. She was asking me questions like, "Am I too tight?" "Do you like it?" "Does it feel good?" "Do you accept Jesus Christ into your soul? etc.
In-between talking Jehovah Witness dirty to me, she would let out these big massive screeches of pleasure & pain; this was followed by her screaming at the top of her lungs like a feral cat and saying "Oh My God!"; which was then followed by some meowing like a kitten. It sounded bizarre and frightening at the same time. It sounded like two Jehovah Witness feral cats fighting in a back alley and quoting scripture. I was embarrassed. But not enough to stop. Soon, i started roll playing along with her and screeching out like a wild feral cat in heat. Then i decided to change it up a bit and i started roaring like a lion and yelling "Jesus, you're tight!" I could hear my neighbors stomping their feet on the ceiling above my head.
This went on for what seemed like hours...her screeching and then meowing; me screeching and then roaring at the top of my lungs "Jesus, you're tight!"
But then, the inevitable happened. I fell out, and when i tried to better re-position myself in order to get better footing on the floor tiles, i accidentally looked down and thought i saw two tennis balls swinging back and forth. No, i'm certain i saw two tennis balls swinging back and forth! This was a horror show. But it was too late. I was already back inside and making some good progress in my safari mating calls. It was Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom inside my bedroom. I was Marlin Perkins, and the Thai Jehovah Witness Lady Boy/girl was Jim Fowler. Jim looked pretty good bent over with his head buried in the pillow; he was holding onto the sheets at the edges of the bed and screaming out "Oh my God...don't stop!" Myself, I was standing up, at the edge of my bed, but my feet kept slipping out from underneath me. I had to stop and put some rubber soled shoes on in order to keep from losing my footing.
Anyway, everything was going good, and then my girlfriend woke me up and told me i was going to be late for church. I rolled back over and tried to finish where i left off, but i couldn't fall back to sleep. I felt dirty. I brushed my teeth and took a hot shower and went to church and told everyone that i cheated on my girlfriend last night with a Jehovah Witness Lady Boy. Crazy, huh?
True Story.

The Catholics do not blather on about how the Bible makes perfect sense. When they get to something that is off the wall barking mad, like a million gallons of communion wine magically changing to human Jesus blood at every mass, they simply call it a Mystery of the Faith and/or perhaps say, "The Holy Mother Church has philosophers who can explain this to you."
Hey folks. fun thread which I enjoyed. my question is...How does this thread comply with the guidelines about no race no religion and dr related only? I am not complaining about the choice (assumed) to allow this thread to stay open. Does anyone have an opinion they care to share? I am especially interested in hearing from moderators. Again, not a complaint. No subtext. Just trying to learn, because I engage in some pretty heavy self censorship to remain a member of this forum.
Here's the connection to the DR. Faith is ultimately about belief in miracles. Note that Elvis Presley is featured prominently in Penn & Teller's video. In 1994, Elvis's daughter Lisa Marie Presley was married in the Dominican Republic to Michael Jackson. What could be more miraculous than that?
That's funny.
I just realized this is in the clown bin. Previously it was explained that moderators may allow more wiggle room in the clown bin.

If you dig Penn and Teller, check out a film called "Tim's Vermeer". Directed by Teller and narrated by Penn. I have had the good fortune of working for Tim for about 17 years with a few years off in the middle some where. Tim, who had never painted in his life painstaking recreates the detail of a famous Vermeer by figuring out how Vermeer likely used technology of that era to turn up the realism in painting several notches.
I know very little about Art but really enjoyed the film. Can't wait for it to come out on itunes but it is in theaters now.
I really like Penn & Teller's Showtime series "Bullsh1t." They set out to face and debunk a lot of total misinformation, half-truths, exaggerations and outright total lies in both society and culture: Penn & Teller: Bullshit! (TV Series 2003
The show is pure genius and they set out to debunk religion--all religions.

It's in the last minute: "Read the bible because we need more atheists, and nothing will get you there faster."
Intolerance involves the active attempt to suppress or silence the disapproved practice or belief. In the past the Christian religion was known for it's intolerance with those that believed differently, and the Islamic religion was and still is guilty of intolerance. It is ironic that the greatest intolerance now days seems to be from the secular side.
