And a Child Shall Mislead Them
[TAKIMAG] This week, we take a focused look at how the West’s most destructive superstition can grip the mind of even the most strident "rationalist," and what that means for those of us who don’t partake in the séance.Penn Jillette, the tall half of the hugely successful magician duo Penn & Teller, is one of the entertainment industry’s most outspoken atheists. For decades, Jillette has smugly condemned all manner of religious, psychic, and pseudoscientific irrationality. He also has a fan base on the right, because as a self-described libertarian, Jillette’s often mused about how "taxation is theft" and government compulsion is bad. Penn Jillette: a man with no gods, including government. A man who falls for no (to use the title of his Showtime series) "bullshit." Posted by: Fred 2021-10-21 |
