I came across this video while looking through youtube videos and was immediately intrigued when I saw that it was Penn Jillette with Piers Morgan. I felt this way because I knew before this video that Penn was an atheist and very open about it and before this video I was not a big fan of Piers Morgan, mainly just from Americas Got Talent. After watching this video my thoughts on Piers Morgan had changed because I thought as a believer he handled that topic very well and stood up for what he believed and expressed what he believed. He felt angered by Penn's recently released book, " God, No!", and he told him that and told him why. And I agree with that, as a believer myself, I would hope that if I was in that situation I would be able to do the same as Piers and stand up for what I believe in, but not only be defencive, but explain why I disagree and why I believe that he is wrong, which I think that Piers did. However, I found myself after watching this video respecting both of these men more, including Penn. As a Christian and him being an Atheist, we have very different beliefs and lifestyles, but he is open and public about what he believes and that is more than many Christians can say, including myself... which is very unfortunate. I respect Penn because he not an Atheist who hates every religious person (I don't know if any Atheist's are like that), he respects people who will stand up for their beliefs and try to explain it to him and possibly convince him. It's the people who say they are Christians or religious and do nothing about it who he does not respect and I agree. My favourite part of this video is near the end when Penn is talking about how he loves when people speak out about their beliefs and their religion and he says, "If you believe in your God, tell people about it, pray for me, explain it to me". It is people like this and hearing things like this that should make Christians want to go out and express their belief, I know it does for me.
