No, Penn Jillette, you're not a "big thinker."
Like every Atheist, you're small and simple-minded, refusing to believe in anything unless it's spelled out to you. You believe in the omnipotence of your human mind rather than in an outside omnipotence. Your religion is boring and based in pessimism. And you wear fingernail polish. Yawn. |

Tedious and egotistical. |

Only saying that you can't prove a negative.
Saying that one believes in God is different than standing up and boldly proclaiming that the supernatural cannot exist. Technology and means of detecting elements of our universe have made major advances in recent years. No one is smart enough to see what's down the road. |

Everything he says - everything - is specifically said for a purpose. He's creating an image in your mind, so that in the end, when he delivers the "hook", you'll accept what he has said as truth; you'll feel as if you had actually come to the conclusions yourself. He's good at what he does but when you realize what he is doing it's much harder for him to get through. |

Edit- Let me clarify a bit. There are Atheists who don't believe but don't look down upon people who do; I call these people "non believers". Then there are people who look down upon religious people as intellectually inferior. |

It's not that they just disagree with religious folks, They hold them in contempt and disgust which is kind of foolish for a couple reasons. First, what's it to them if someone believes in Santa. Second, Religion can be of much value to an individual throughout their life. It can be a comfort, a direction, boundaries, etc etc. These things work, whether or not the god they believe in exists or not. So, at the end of life, which has lost or gained? The athiest or faithful. |

It's also an integral part of Western culture, so it helps to understand it.
