Product Description
From the larger, louder half of the world-famous magic duo Penn & Teller comes a scathingly funny reinterpretation of The Ten Commandments. They are The Penn Commandments, and they reveal one outrageous and opinionated atheist's experience in the world. In this rollicking yet honest account of a godless existence, Penn takes readers on a roller coaster of exploration and flips conventional religious wisdom on its ear to reveal that doubt, skepticism, and wonder -- all signs of a general feeling of disbelief -- are to be celebrated and cherished, rather than suppressed. And he tells some pretty damn funny stories along the way. From performing blockbuster shows on the Vegas Strip to the adventures of fatherhood, from an on-going dialogue with proselytizers of the Christian Right to the joys of sex while scuba diving, Jillette's self-created Decalogue invites his reader on a journey of discovery that is equal parts wise and wisecracking.
Praise for God, No!
"People who say that libertarians have no heart or atheists have no soul need to read this book. Because Penn Jillette has a lot of both." -- MATT STONE and TREY PARKER, creators of South Park and the award-winning Broadway musical The Book of Mormon
"There are few people in the country who question more boldly, brashly, and bravely than my friend Penn Jillette. This book is funny, provocative, and profane. But is it right? God, no!" --GLENN BECK
"This planet has yielded exactly one mutual friend for Glenn Beck and me and that friend has written a brilliant book called God, No! Penn reveals 'the big secret of magic,' tells you why tattoos are perfect expressions of atheism and exactly what to eat when you know you're going to vomit later." --LAWRENCE O'DONNELL
"Penn Jillette is a twenty-first-century Lord of Misrule: big, boisterously anarchic, funny, Rabelaisian, impossible and unique. There isn't--couldn't be--better not be--anybody like him." --RICHARD DAWKINS, bestselling author of The Greatest Show on Earth and The God Delusion

Excellent book!,
This review is from: God, No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales (Hardcover)
This is an excellent book. Very well written. The mind of Penn Jillette is a very interesting one! I liked his interview on Piers Morgan so much that I decided to buy his book. I wasn't disappointed. It's not really a "treatise" on Atheism. But it doesn't claim to be. It's more a story about Penn Gillette and his life experiences. I also recommend the following book on Amazon, It might be of interest to readers of Jillette's book:What Did Jesus Really Say-How Christianity Went Astray: [What to Say to a Born Again Christian Fundamentalist, But Never Had the Information]

This review is from: God, No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales (Hardcover)
I loved this book. It's not just about atheism, but also has many humorous and sometimes heart warming anecdotes. I've found even more respect for Penn Jillette after reading about the love for his parents, sister, wife, children, and friends. Was the book vulgar? Sure was, but that's the way he is and anyone who is a fan knows that. Definitely worth a read. :)
