  • There is No God & Penn Jillette | This I Believe

    Rated Dec 19 2008 • 81 reviews • atheist • thisibelieve.org

    From the page:
    "I believe that there is no God. I'm beyond atheism. Atheism is not believing in God. Not believing in God is easy -- you can't prove a negative, so there's no work to do. You can't prove that there isn't an elephant inside the trunk of my car. You sure? How about now? Maybe he was just hiding before. Check again. Did I mention that my personal heartfelt definition of the word 'elephant' includes mystery, order, goodness, love and a spare tire?

    So, anyone with a love for truth outside of herself has to start with no belief in God and then look for evidence of God. She needs to search for some objective evidence of a supernatural power. All the people I write e-mails to often are still stuck at this searching stage. The atheism part is easy."

    I congratulate the writer (Penn Jillette) on his theology. I think the Buddha himself said: "It's up to you to find out if there are gods."
    Thank you Humbaba.
