Dear Penn Jillette the so-called atheist (who is afraid to debate Bible believers):

I was looking at the April 17, 2012 article entitled The Penn & Teller Election and it appears that you are still width challenged. What happened? I thought you possessed the "super atheist intellect".

Do not the scientific disciplines of exercise science, nutritional science and medical science have an abundance of solutions to being overweight? Doesn't medical science declare there are significant health risks with being overweight?

Is the problem sin? The sins of sloth and gluttony? Are you sure God does not exist? The reason I ask is that there sure is a lot of evidence that God exist as can be seen by the resources offered here: Evidence for Christianity. By the way, do you have any proof and evidence that atheism is true?

" Are you sure God does not exist? The reason I ask is that there sure is a lot of evidence that God exist as can be seen by the resources offered here: "

I am sure god exists, because I've seen the quality of the resources offered here. If you had something better you would have shown it.

"Do not the scientific disciplines of exercise science, nutritional science and medical science have an abundance of solutions to being overweight? "

Do not the scientific disciplines of marketing, food psychology and free market worship have an abundance of ways to make people buy and eat more food thereby making more profit for Big Ag?

"Doesn't medical science declare there are significant health risks with being overweight?"

Medical science also says evolution happened. Are we accepting medical science as valid or not?

"Is the problem sin?"

Yes it is. You conservatives worship the free market, making a profit by causing disease, then opposing affordable health care because it will cut into your profit. That's a sin.

Theres lots of sin and fatness in your oh-so-religious red states.

Feel that Christian Love!

It's better to be width challenged than smrt challenged.
You seem to be even more afraid to debate; resorting to "Well, you're FAT". That's not really a mature argument, is it, dearie?

Science knows several reasons why people become fat, yes. Some of them are medical, some are behavioral, some are hereditary. But knowledge is not action. Maybe Mr Jillette likes good food and nice wine, and is prepared to live a bit dangerous? It's his life, he has the right to live it as he sees fit, as long as he doesn't infringe on other people's human rights. There are significant risks with driving or riding in a car, too, after all.

At least he's not as fat as Rush Limbaugh... Talk about Sloth and Gluttony, and HE actually buys into that bullshittery.

Evidence for Christianity is rather irrelevant; we all know that Christianity exists. What we haven't yet received tangible evidence for is the existence of any deities, whatsoever, let alone your particular deity.

"Dear Penn Jillette the so-called atheist (who is afraid to debate Bible believers):"

So, you know better than Penn, what Penn believes?

I can't imagine Penn Jillette being afraid to talk about anything.

"I was looking at the April 17, 2012 article entitled The Penn & Teller Election and it appears that you are still width challenged. What happened? I thought you possessed the 'super atheist intellect.'"

What does "width challenged" mean? Does it mean I won't understand it until I'm a big fat idiot like Rush?

"Do not the scientific disciplines of exercise science, nutritional science and medical science have an abundance of solutions to being overweight? Doesn't medical science declare there are significant health risks with being overweight?

See also: Atheism and obesity"

So, atheism explains the huge flood of fat bottoms is see waddling out of churches every Sunday?

As is the case with negatives, often there can be no absolute proof. I can't prove there is no soup ladle at the center of the earth, but there is no evidence for it and logic deems it utterly unlikely. The same with God.

A) "Width challenged"? Where the fuck are you getting that? I know it can be fun/funny to make PC-sounding terms about common occurrences, but at least use the right words. Fat people- and I speak as a fatty myself, here- are not width-challenged; we're width-ENHANCED. Width-ABUNDANT. We're WILLPOWER-challenged.

B) "Super atheist intellect"? Oh, come now. The ability to outthink the average Conservapedia-user doesn't speak to intellectual arrogance, so much as it does a fourth-grade education. (Translation for the wit-challenged: They don't think they're smarter than you because they're atheists, they think they're smarter than you because YOU prove it on a regular basis.)

C) Medical science declares that there are significant health risks ASSOCIATED with being overweight, not with being overweight itself. (I myself am in rather good health for a skinny guy, let alone a fatty like me; it baffles my doctor every time I get a physical or bloodwork done, which I find hilarious.)

D) No, Penn Jillette is NOT sure God doesn't exist. However, he doesn't BELIEVE God exists, as there isn't sufficient corroborative evidence to support His existence. (At the very least, not as Christians believe Him to be.

E) Your 'evidence for Christianity' is mislabelled- it should be 'evidence for Christ'. We all know Christians exist- you moan too loudly to deny you're there. Also,
E)ii) Your 'evidence for Christianity' largely amounts to the old circular argument of 'God exists because the Book says he does, and the Book can't be wrong because God says it's infallible'. And around and around we go.

F) Proof and evidence that atheism is true can be found by realizing that atheists exist. Oh, did you mean 'evidence that atheism is The One True Path(tm)'? Well, no. Nobody's got any hard evidence that ANY gnostic stance is the one, for real-real truth of existence, which is why we're still having these arguments in the first place. The only way to find out for sure is to die (all the way, not temporary heart-stoppage, not a coma), come back and tell everyone about it. And nobody's done that yet.

Except for that one dude you guys are constantly misquoting, and his existence is just as debatable as any other spiritual matter.

old comment by John

No one can prove God doesn't exist. No one can prove Santa Claus doesn't exist either. On the other hand, no one has proved God exists, either. And even if God exists, there's no credible evidence that His existence is relevant, since He doesn't actually appear to do anything we can predict or influence.

If you went to three different doctors, and one told you it was a broken leg, another a brain tumor and a third, AIDS, wouldn't you conclude none of them knew what they were talking about? Yet one tells you God wants you to bow toward Mecca and chant in Arabic five times a day, another tells you you have to eat chicken and cheesecake with separate forks, and a third tells you to eat a wafer chanted over by a priest; and you think any of them know what they're talking about?
