Penn Jillette is almost the antithesis of me ... I contradict his theology (actually lack thereof) and his politics — though to a decidedly lesser extent.
However, be all of this as it may I will typically sit down and hear him out because I think he presents his cases well and I am always open to those dissenting opinions among others because I need the balance of hearing out those even if they differ in opinion from my own.
Penn Fraser Jillette practices magic with his compadre Raymond Joseph Teller aka "Teller" as the team Penn & Teller and as such I have enjoyed much of what they have presented in various venues I have attended.
Mr Jillette is a best selling author of eight tomes and has hit the stage and television with all manner of shows as well as Vegas and other high end venues.
He is for all intents and purposes a practicing atheist and skeptic extraordinaire. He believes in libertarianism, free market capitalism, and is decidedly pro first amendment.
Although much of who he presents himself as being is fairly contrary to that which is me ... there remains plenty of congruence but like I've said before many times, if we all were the same the world would be quite the boring place.
