    Thumbs up Penn Jilette: An Atheists Guide to the 2012 Election

    I found this video particularly thought provoking.

    Penn discusses the influence of Christianity on politics and prods people's rationality about the game behind it all. Also very entertaining.

    to answer mr. Jilette's questions in the end of the video.. maybe he should start with the works of jordan maxwell (to shed light on religion) and the video obama's deception of Alex Jones i think for the political/economic aspect. this should get him started pretty nicely no xP

    I think he knows quite a lot more about conspiracy than he leads on about, just that he's come to very different conclusions than many of the people on Avalon about it. When he uses the term, 'Atheist,' he is making a fairly brash generalization. You have to consider that he's a magician in Vegas, so he's probably seen quite a few unusual things... I know quite a few of these folks and I can say that the ones at the top of their game tend to be incredibly well-versed in the mystical and the transpersonal.
