Penn Jillette on NPR "Morning Edition" 11/21/05
Please listen to Penn Jillette's (Penn and Teller) essay on NPR's "Morning Edition". I assume it will be posted on the web site www.npr.org

2. His essay has nothing to do with government
It is part of the "This I Believe Series" He offers a very eloquent explanation of why he does not believe in a god.

5. Not quite. It's not that he doesn't believe in God
It's that he affirmatively believes there is no God. A subtle but crucial difference.

3. I want a televised debate between him
And Lewis Black. They both have a lot of the same mannerisms and voice-raising, cursing tactics.

It could be about anything - I don't care. It would be entertaining.
