Celebatheists (thanks [livejournal.com profile] murasaki_1966) and it amused me:

Teller was interviewed for the Summer 1998 issue of the New England Skeptics Society newsletter. Here's an excerpt:

NEJS - [Chris Carter, creator of the X-Files] said something in this article I'd like you to respond to: "I asked [Penn & Teller] if they believed in God, and they said no. And I asked: Do any scientists believe in God? And they said: 'None of the important ones.' I just found that somehow, I don't know, very disturbing. I think that the need to believe is, in fact, even with the most hardened atheist. I think that there must be at some point in their lives a need to at least search for some kind of personal answers for existence itself." I thought that was very interesting -- as if atheists aren't looking for some kind of personal answers for existence itself.

Teller - Atheists do look for answers to existence itself. They just don't make them up.


What's worrying is Dr Jack Kevorkian is an agnostic - which means he's not sure where he's sending his clients. Kind of like CityRail, I guess.
