Penn and Teller Tell it All About AA

Penn and Teller cut through the BS
All the Time -- including AA
Penn and Teller blasted the program, from anecdotes to undercover investigations of AA headquarters.

I never thought anyone could go to such a place.

But the building does exist.

The title on the building reads:

Interchurch Center

What??!

I thought that AA was not a religious program?

Right. . .

Penn and Teller know how to cut through the crap.

And Teller never says a word, since he lets Penn pin down the nonsense.

They decry the "Michael Moore" instigating which they had to do, when going undercover into the AA headquarters.

Someone has to do it, and they did it

But the real reason I was so impressed with the Penn and Teller take-down on AA is that they point out the logical folly of everyone choosing their own conception of "God". God, as any concept, must be a unified reality. There cannot be lots of people who are call claiming "God" as a higher power, yet at the same time recognizing him, her, it in different forms.

Plato took down such polytheistic rationalizing (rationed thinking) in his dialogue Euthyphro.

If there is a God - and I both know and believe that there is, even though Penn and Teller claim to be embittered atheists - it cannot be so that there is a God, and this God can be different gods at the same time.

Thanks again for pointing out another irrational bankruptcy of the AA cult, Penn and Teller!
