Love George Carlin

That’s great. There’s definitely an attention seeking behavior to those always pushing the taboos, and it’s gotten pretty hardcore out there now … but when Carlin took on such an overripe target as religion - it was sweet

Yep, love George Carlin.

I have a link to Carlin on my Facebook page linking him talking about religion. So yes Bullshit!

One of my favorites! Joe bless you for posting this.

Part of what made him so wonderful, was his dead-on, tell it like it is approach. With that license to speak uncomfortable truths , that comedians have in the name of laughter - Carlin spoke volumes about religion and it's inherent BS. He made people squirm. He sometimes silenced them with his outrageous words. And yet, he saw things as they are - as they really are.

Hail, King George !

That says it all! Watching a Carlin HBO special gave me the courage to publicly declare my Atheism. The indoctrination process that children are put through and the parental/peer pressure is very strong in upper middle class environments. You run the risk of complete alienation from everyone near and dear.

George Carlin had religion figured out a long time ago and tried to warn the rest of us. He was always funny as hell.

Carlin was the first stand up I was familiar with many years ago. Now it seems that I discover new ones all the time. Ricky Gervais, Eddie Izzard, Jim Jefferies, Seth MacFarlane, Bill Maher and Julia Sweeney have all been popular. I’ll always owe a debt to Carlin as he was the first to get right in my face with it, make me think and make me damn proud to be atheist.

He was awesome.

Enjoy

One of my favorite stand-up bits.
