Yet, after producing two videos after being listed in Conservapedia's [[atheism and obesity]] article and having a [[Essay: Conservapedia's challenge to atheist Penn Jillette|debate challenge]] directed his way which employed some humor, atheist Penn Jillette posted a video on the internet which declared: − {{cquote|I didn't really read the stuff so I guess I can't really comment... − − I don't tend to react to [[satire]], or sarcasm or irony, I pretty much say what I mean and that is what I react to the most... I do know people and love people who believe...who are Christians and who have belief and who believe this stuff strongly, and as much as I want to argue with them, I don't want to show them disrespect. And I will say that's a ****ing stupid argument, but that's not disrespect.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gofaKoCGrDk Penn Point - Conservapedia or Troll Site? - Penn Point]</ref>}} − − See also: [[Atheist hypocrisy]]
