Nothing to shake the foundations of my thinking. ( ) Penn is an interesting person, and this book really demonstrates that. It's mostly 229 pages of Penn ranting about what is wrong with this country. His chapter on the TSA is worth the price of the book alone. But, it's not all rant. His writing about the deaths of his parents and sister will bring tears to your eyes (in a good way). He comes across as a very sincere, thoughtful, honest, and genuine individual, and although I've never met him (other than his signing autographs after a show), I'm willing to believe he embodies all of those traits. I would recommend that both believers and non-believers check out Penn's book. I think it is funny and at times it was a little too much for me but overall I think he makes a solid case for "I don't know". It is a lot simpler to blindly believe in a dogma that you either grew up in or that you were lead into as it does not require critical thinking. I would say everyone could learn from this common sense book about how to think independently. I don't have to agree with Penn to like the book. I don't have to change my views to like the book. I think you will find it a quick and easy read and it will open debate with some of your friends...and debate and thought is a good thing. It's hard to explain why I read this book. I can't say it offers much. While Penn talks at some length about his being an atheist, it isn't about offering a persuasive argument discussing the logic of his beliefs. It's really more of a book about Jillette, some of his life experiences, family and friends, interwoven, often in loud and profane terms, about his disregard for religion. True, there are some interesting and amusing stories thrown in, but I'm sure I could have picked up a lot of other funnier, and more interesting books. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
