During an interview on CNN on June 2, 2010, this exchange occurred:

Very much along the lines of Penn Jillette’s “God, No!: Signs You May Already Be an Atheist and Other Magical Tales”

Hey, remember when a small group of Christians thought it would be a great idea to waste thousands of dollars and scare someone to the point of suicide because some old guy told them the rapture was going to happen? ….yeah, that was a bad idea.
