I don’t know if you’re completely serious or not, but you may or may not be in for a disappointment when I tell you that I am not at all Penn. I thought it was an open question. Not to kick you while you’re down, but I’ve never even been on TV!!! If you are serious, let me say that I’m flattered to be mistaken for Mr. Jillette.

No, that’s what I meant. Thanks for the answer. It was an honest question and not an attempt at some kind of “gotcha” question.
Freakin’ cool thing about Youtube–Here I am chatting with someone I have watched on TV since I was a child!

I would have to say, in regards to religion, no. Not unless he came up with some evidence that I’d never been privy to. I suppose he’d be free thinking in the sense that he hasn’t simply carbon-copied my beliefs and made them his own, but I don’t think that’s what you meant by “free thinking”.

Also, to your point at the end, yes there are religious people (me) who watch these. Most of us aren’t as upset by such questions as it may seem. It seems to me that in many ways you are more interested in religion than most religious people.

If at some point your child comes home, before the age of 18, and has decided to become a Christian, will you still describe your child as free thinking?
This isn’t hypothetical or meant to be a sly comment, its an honest question.

That will definitely happen. There is a lot of evidence of that. Yep.

kids aren’t anything but kids, by labeling a religion, or non religion, you separate them from other children. this is what starts much religious fanaticism.

Wow fuck youtube. Why are they adding ratings?! This is one step closer to censoring the internet. Why do people get so pissed off at things like nudity? Its not like you wont see a dick or tits your whole life so why does it matter.

People learn to have religion because their parents make them.

Children are born not believing in god – or anything, for that matter – so they aren’t necessarily Atheists, but are definitely born as non-believers. As a person grows and learns they can understand, through critical thinking skills to analyze and interpret the available evidence and come to a conclusion based on said evidence. By taking this approach, it inevitably ALWAYS results in atheism. It’s impossible to believe in god based on evidence and absent wishful thinking.

You can so tell Penn adores his kids.

I’d say that children who cannot understand the concept of god can’t believe in one. And so, by default, are atheists.

I just wanted to point out that it is a coincidence that everything that the Bible says is coming true. And this is the book that was in the making from over 2 thousand years ago. If parents killing their children and children killing their parents doesn’t ring a bell…Then you really do have problems being atheist.
The reason why you live is because Jesus died…if you don’t believe then you will see with your own eyes that the bible is real with its prophesies.

Sorry about the supernatural comment, I thought you were a nutjob Christian.

Lol, I can recognise crazy, and you are it. That last comment topped it off. Sorry it’s not nice to laugh at those less fortunate, my bad. I’ve never said that I believe in the supernatural, where the hell did you get that from?! I’m starting to think that replying to you is just giving you permission to run your mouth about crazy shit.

Aaron Kropp
You can’t recognize crazy, anybody that believes in the supernatural can’t. You have no proof of supernatural or that you understand what you define as crazy. Please wipe your mirror, because the grime has made you forget who you might be, and what you are becoming.

Dude, you’re fucked in the head. I’ve given up on this conversation with you. I’m presenting logical agruments and you’re stubborn and full of hate. You’re in a completely different realm to me. I can’t win against crazy.

Yeah you would be as bad a parent as Jehovah in the garden with Eve, let the child decide, oh let’s see, do you want to learn 2+2=4, or do you want to believe and decide 2+2=5?

Monica Blume
Proper base would be 2+2=4, NOT 2+2=5=Christianity, which I believe needs to be shut out. We eradicate or attempt to, breast cancer in the victim, likewise with Christianity ,it needs to be or attempted with the best reasoning, eradicated. It is vile and vulgar and would never be missed.
