I have always loved Carlin.

It has too much influence to just dismiss it as bullshit. In order to diminish its hold we have to formulate constructive arguments against it.

Religion has been defeating Freethinkers, Athiests, etc. for centuries. So it seems to me that whatever we have been doing is not working that well. There have been times like the Renaissance and brave Freethinkers and truth tellers like Galileo Galilei
who have pushed humanity forward.

'Bullshit,' as used by George Carlin, is simply nonsense. Can Carlin's nonsense of "false promises and exaggerated claims" hold disproportionate power to the point of turning vices like credulity and worship into virtues? Clearly this is the case. But it sometimes requires sarcasm, humor and wit to open one's eyes to the "constructive arguments," all of which were formulated long before the religions with which we are familiar were created.
