I saw an "at home" interview with Penn when I had cable (on E! maybe). He made it clear that he was an atheist but seemed to be the type (from some of the literature I've seen him discuss) that he's of the type who take particular delight in mocking others' (specifically Christians') religions.
He is also against the death penalty but has a "used" electric chair (and I believe some jarred fetuses).
A vile man who's stage act can be "entertaining" at some times.

And we can leave Hitler out of this, since you are apparently so thick that you don't understand the man's own words. Hitler called Christianity a "social scandal"Hitler was inspired to carry out his monstrous acts by the atheist madman Nietzsche who destested Christianity almost as much as jlogajan does.

What kind of practicing do you do as an atheist? Spends his spare time "debunking" and mocking other religions; specifically Christianity.

Praised with some cavets maybe. Not everyone agreed with his politics.

Snake Oil and Holy Water Richard Dawkins, 10.04.99 Penn suggests you read article by author and scientist Richard Dawkins about the relationship between religion and science, and why it's important not to confuse the two.

They have always been controversial..is their "act"..seems here they played more to an audience of one..themselves.

Someone in another thread pointed out that on "Fear Factor" Penn & Teller's chosen charity was the ACLU.
Penn is also against the death penalty.
Ted Rall supported Bill Clinton's impeachment over lying to the court about Monica. Doesn't make Ted Rall a conservative either.

It is blasphemy! What a disgrace!
Dear Lord please bring them to conversion!

Disgusting stuff coming from two otherwise talented and witty guys. I hope this a brief detour into stupidity.
BTW, can we stop with the who killed more people stuff? Genocide isn't golf, the team with the lowest score doesn't win.
To: Houmatt
Interesting way to show the world how loving Christians are, even to atheists: to go on the Internet, compare all atheists to Stalin and Hitler, declare that Teller should be beaten to death, and call for a worldwide boycott over an act that nobody on here actually saw, and for which you have only one source, World Net Daily.
For the record, I've had dinner with Penn Jillette. Yes, he's a very staunch atheist and quite in your face about it. He also hates Bill Clinton and is, if anything political, a rabid Libertarian. I'm hardly in agreement with everything he says or thinks, but anyone who's done so much to expose scum-sucking charlatans like faith healers, psychic surgeons and John Edward is doing the Lord's work, whether he likes to think so or not.

I have never found Penn and Teller worth watching. And it has nothing to do with religion or their lack of beliefs. I saw them doing a skit about poking each other in the eyes. Real entertaining, eh? Even if I was a fan of magic I would not spend a dime to go see them.

Christianity can be dangerous. Look at the Trade CenterThat's offensively stupid, yet thats a standard message over in left America. It a quick excuse to dismiss a meaningful conversation about Christianity.

Hey, Penn and Teller:
It's not too late. You don't HAVE to BURN IN HELL, unless you particularly WANT to.

I prefer James Randi's style in doing this. Penn and Teller, who can be sporadically amusing, muddle their message by getting people to focus on their shocking behavior. It's the same problem I have with the TV show 'South Park'. It's not worth watching when I have to keep concentrating on ignoring (or trying to justify) the potty humor. 'The Simpsons' makes a lot of the same points, but are eminently more watchable. In my opinion, anyway.
To: Houmatt
So what?
Lots of people ridiculed the crucifiction a couple thousand years ago, too. These guys have lots of company.

It's absolutely amazing (and very, very sad) that so many liberals - who most often have not the slightest idea what Christ actually taught or what He said, or of the significance of what He did - mock Him. They don't want to know - because they know that to know would mean to give up lives of sin and to turn toward God. They are afraid and insecure. We are called to pray for them.
