How do I nominate Penn Jillette as atheism's official spokesperson?

Answer 1

I don't care for him.
Met them in person years (and years) ago. They were funny then, now they are just obnoxious.

sorry

blessings :)

Answer 2

I'd take Jillette over Dawkins--at least Jillette has a sense of humour and some interests outside of hammering on christianity.

I'm not sure we need an "official spokesperson" though--after all, Paul declared himself Christ's "official spokesperson" and 2000 years later look where we are.....

Answer 3

I second the motion.

"Believing there's no God means I can't really be forgiven except by kindness and faulty memories. That's good; it makes me want to be more thoughtful. I have to try to treat people right the first time around." *penn jillette*

*****************

The first and ONLY time around. People, wake up. There's a train a-comin', pickin' up passengers from coast to coast. All you need is faith, to hear the diesels hummin' . . . there ain't no room for those that can't be taught. Those that dare define the hopeless sinner . . .

There is hope. Where there is hope there is faith. I pray for you. What, you don't think an atheist is capable of prayer? Think about it.

With all the prosyletizing, don't you think it hurts atheists to see a life so wasted, waiting for an afterlife that never comes, waiting to "get" something after the ability to "get" is gone? The only up side is that you'll never know one way or the other, you'll be dead. But you're alive NOW! Don't you get it? No, I guess not.

Nevertheless, I can't help but have pity on those whose chances grow slimmer . . . who have lived their life for a lie and then die.

Please wake up.

Love ≠ religion

Answer 4

Well, for unofficial spokesperson, I think you've just done it. But official would be hard. I mean, since they don't have an organization as such, for whom would she be the spokesperson? Or do they have an organization, come to think of it? I have not researched that topic, but it's likely there are at least Yahoo Groups.

Answer 5

i like Penn Jillette for the main area. he's humorous and strong at his job. i'm an atheist. There are no longer any varieties of atheism. i like my atheism simply by fact it provides me freedom, so i assume i like his.

Answer 6

Atheism doesn't need an official spokesperson... too many people are speaking those lies already. An "official unbeliever" would be like electing the president of anarchists... pointless and self-contradicting.

Answer 7

I don't know about that...he's funny, but I don't think I'd want someone who names their daughter Moxie Crimefighter Jillette as my spokesperson.

Answer 8

You mean Drell, the head of the witches council? (Sabrina, The Teenage Witch TV series)

Ask the wiccans.

Answer 9

Create a YouTube video announcing it. Seriously, I think the entire world is on YouTube.

Answer 10

He's a jerk in that "man, I wish I had balls of steel like that" kind of way. Except I'd rather not be a possessor of testicles. (See profile for "breasts of steel!)

So, I'd rather Carlin like someone suggested above.
