What if....
Penn Jillette would only challenge you to a video debate? MaxFletcher 21:38, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
- Given the weakness of atheism, I would be surprised if Penn Jillette formally debates a Bible believer on the existence of God by November 20, 2011. Conservapedia also said, "if Jillette declines to debate Conservapedia we certainly strongly encourage him to seek out the strongest Bible believer opponent who is willing to publicly debate him concerning the existence of God". With that being said, "The written debate will be between Penn Jillette and two atheists of his choosing and myself and two Christians of my choosing. I prefer written debates as I believe they offer the audience the maximum amount of information to render a decision. Oral debates are often subject to the participants' memories and also do not allow additional research to be done on particular points. (Please see: Conservapedia's challenge to atheist Penn Jillette)."Conservative 21:52, 2 August 2011 (EDT)
- Oral debates are often subject to the participants memories and also do not allow additional research to be done on particular points Not so because if I were to reply to a video on youtube for example I can always go back to it and have just as much time to do research as I would if it were written. If Penn offered a video debate would you accept? MaxFletcher 21:57, 2 August 2011 (EDT)

In addition, according to Amazon it appears as if he has several books in his name.[1] I think it is time you stop making excuses for Penn Jillette as far as not accepting my written debate offer.
