Thank you @doule for such a thoughtful comment. I really do appreciate you taking the time to read and reply. When you said: In the case of Penn Jillette's words, it sounds like he's suggesting that the Gospel must not be true, because if it was, then Christians would be acting differently. Many Christians will reject that, but to some, and often the young especially, that sort of argument sounds good to them. "IF the Gospel is true, you Christians would be doing a lot more to save people," Jillette is saying, "You'd be rescuing them. That's what I would do if I was a Christian. I couldn't sit around while people were in such danger." I guess I didn't get that at all. I took what he was saying was that although he didn't agree, he respected the man and it meant a lot to him that the man took the time to care about his salvation. The love the man showed him made an impact on him. I did watch his interview and he seemed genuinely touched by the act.

I love your boldness. Thanks for sharing!
