As much as I admire Penn & Teller it saddens me to hear this admission.
If they bash Christianity I’d like to think they’d have the nards to go after other faiths, too-

So their Showtime bosses would pull the plug on the show if they went after Scientologists?
Okay. They won’t go after Islam because of fear for their families? Okay.
Then the show should be retitled:
BULLPOOP-WE’RE NOT AS EDGY AS YOU’D EXPECT

LOL, is Showtime still afraid of the stupid $cientology cult!?! Two years ago, they could have sued the network into silence easily. These days, the cult is too busy fending off attacks from REAL media outlets around the world to care what some silly show on Showtime has to say about it. The most you’d get nowadays is a threatening letter that you can frame and put up on a wall for laughs.

It’s nice to hear an atheist describe the Christians I know.

Scientology has been known to steal critic’s personalized stationary and use it to mail fake bomb threats to itself, drown judges dogs, and numerous other things so it’s not surprising.

@john And if it were anything more than a bloody television show, John, you might have a point. But it is, so you don’t.

Being “brutal” to people who don’t generally respond in like manner, leaving alone people who your bosses want protected as well as those who scare you; isn’t that a perfect description of a bullying, toadying coward?
