Sorry moderator, I meant to post to religion. Could you move it? Thanks.

Quit my subscription to Showtime over a year ago.

What all did Penn and Teller do exactly? I've never heard them do any religious material. Everything I've heard prior had been pretty non-confrontational and funny.
That being said, I don't get Showtime, so their new routine may be quite a bit different from what I've heard.

Isn't that petitioning "the pot" to probe "the kettle"?
To: Dancing Jane
Yeah, right, like CBS is a bastion of honesty & decency.

Why isn't the Catholic League addressing the claims of Penn & Teller instead. Those being that her "hospices" provided no medical care, and that those dying at the hospices were not allowed to see their loved ones? That she thought it was important for those who were in the hospice to suffer?
No, let's just try to ban the show instead.

This is extraordinary. How dreadful. Not insult is too low, apparently.
I did not see this "program" on Showtime. Anyone out there see it?

I thought the show was pretty good, myself.
Don't forget, they went after the Dali Lama and Ghandi as well.
Anyone see the show they did on PC in colleges?
To: Moral Hazard
Why isn't the Catholic League addressing the claims of Penn & Teller instead.Um...because they're Penn & Teller.

Don't forget, they went after the Dali Lama and Ghandi as well. Penn is an atheist and derides anyone who follows any religion.
To: skip_intro
Anyone see the show they did on PC in colleges?Yes, and I taped it. It was great and very true.

Why isn't the Catholic League addressing the claims of Penn & Teller instead. Indeed. Donahue is just like some CAIR flack who sidesteps the issue of the dysfunctional terrorist-breeding Wahabi subculture and its state sponsors.

I don't get Showtime, either, but I've really enjoyed Penn and Tellers 'myth bustin' series the couple of times I've seen it. I wonder if they did some Catholic myth bustin'. Bustin' myths would certainly harm Donahue's beliefs. That's enough reason for him to be afraid.

I didn't see anything in the article that stated that the Catholic League has called for the show to be banned.
Did I miss something?

There is a web site that purports to debunk Mother Teresa and show that she was not as charitable as the media lets on.
I did not go into it so cannot give an opinion ( If I want your opinion I'll give it to you!).
If someone finds it it might shed some light on P&T's show.
To: Bella_Bru
The show is called Bullsh*t. If your ox isn't being gored it is pretty funny. It does have a liberal atheistic view point, but it hit whatever topic they are discussing pretty hard.
