Penn & Teller barbecue the Bible

Loved the bit comparing the claims of Jesus' resurrection with the claims that Elvis isn't dead. Favorite line: "Monty Python's Life of Brian is more historically accurate than Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ."

TiVoed this earlier. Coincidence that I saved it to videotape this morning. Have to share it with a few fundy friends of mine.

:D
 
deconstructing the bible is really less challenging than shooting fish in a barrel.....but good video none the less :)
 
Bible pages are great for rolling papers. Coincidence?

Please buy the penn and teller DVDs if you like watching them free on google video...Support the cause and whatnot.
 
I have season 1 and 2 of P&T’s BS. This episode is on disk 3 of season 2, 3rd episode on the disk if I recall correctly. :)

Anyone know when season 3 is being released on DVD, or has it already?
 
Sadly, I've never enen had a chance to see Penn & Teller Get Killed. I must make up for this.

I also need a new copy of Penn & Teller's Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends.

Or you could simply stuff the barrel full of dead fish and fire into it with a handgun.

I'm thinking of a great TAM stunt: Get a huge cannon, load it with fish, aim at Sylvia Browne...

:D
 
Some of it didn't really go "all the way" with certain arguments. Fun for people who already don't believe in the bible, but ya know, they should really expand that show to a full hour. More time to actually expose these things. I'm sure they can point out the logical flaws, in depth, and still be entertainment. Just read out the logical flaws and contradictions as though you are reading a joke, bam, instant comedy gold.

How about a film like The Aristocrats? A who's who of comics spend the entire film reading the Bible as a joke. You may have something there.

Rowan Atkinson alone would be worth it.

Never heard of it, but it sounds amusing. My idea was that instead of simply saying there are two creation stories and barely skimming the surface of that, and giving the "other guy" too much weight with his own side (ridiculous yes, but still effective for those who just never "got" what reason was all about), the idea would be to actually READ the two creation stories and point out the direct logical inconsistencies. What I mean is, it's one thing to say "this ideal of god seems pretty cruel in this book and also these things are pretty silly and have no evidence", and it's another more powerful tool to say "this part is directly contradictory to this part and I'll show them both to you right now".

I will say this. They did a pretty good job exposing the total lack of evidence and countering the one guy's arguments by basically flatly calling it out as saying "our evidence is that there is no evidence at all".
