Penn & Teller ridicule Christ’s crucifixion
WorldNetDaily ^ | Posted: January 20, 2003 | unknown

The magic-comedy team of Penn & Teller has performed a stunt parodying the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, offending some attendees of a major magicians’ convention, reports columnist Norm Clarke of the Las Vegas Review.

The skit, performed last week in Las Vegas, included Teller, dressed as Christ on a full-size cross, entering the room on a cart. According to the column, a midget dressed as an angel “performed a simulated sex act on the near-naked Teller.” Penn, in a Roman gladiator costume, unveiled the scene by pulling away a “Shroud of Turin” that covered the cross.

What did Penn Jillete do with a Bible?

A while back, on his show Bull Sh?t, he took the opportunity to take several Bibles, throw them on the floor and use several (and I mean several) expletives to describe them. Instead of just saying he disagrees with Christianity and the Bible, he felt it necessary to be as obscene as he could possibly be in describing Christians and the Bible.
