Wow.. the impact you can make on an atheist!
Check out this video from Penn Jillette (of Penn and Teller fame) who is a confessing atheist. Once you view the vid, make sure to read the commentary below by Mark Cahill.
From Mark Cahill: There are just so many interesting points to his video. Did you catch that the guy who witnessed to him wasn‘t at the show that night? That means he went home after a show, and was burdened for Penn‘s soul. He got a Gideon‘s Bible and wrote some information in it, and returned to the theatre another time to talk with Penn. That spoke volumes to this lost person. It showed that this man cared. (more…)
Honestly, the Superbowl outreach was a circus. There were so many evangelists there; it was difficult to get in an intimate one2one conversation without someone else running up and interrupting. We were in Ybor City the second night; the sun was too bright for me, but I noticed on the other side of the street it was shady without too many people walking around. I asked my partner Debbie if she would walk with me on the other side of the street. It was very cold, in the shade; hence the lack of pedestrians. We passed a couple of scientologists passing out booklets stating ”The path to happiness” was in them. Debbie stopped to ask the man, “Why do you believe this pamplet to be true?” He immediately went into a defensive posture, both hands up and said, “I believe what I believe, you believe what you believe and let us leave it at that.” All of the sudden, something stood up inside of me (this is the only way to describe the feeling) and took notice.
