God, No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales

Penn Jillette

Simon and Schuster, Jun 14, 2011 - Biography & Autobiography - 256 pages

A scathingly funny reinterpretation of the Ten Commandments from the larger, louder half of world-famous magic duo Penn and Teller reveals an atheist's experience in the world: from performing on the Vegas strip with Siegfried and Roy to children and fatherhood to his ongoing dialogue with proselytizers of the Christian Right and the joys of sex while scuba-diving, Penn has an outrageous sense of humor and a brilliantly entertaining opinion on, well, anything you care to think of.
