George Carlin

I was introduced to George Carlin and his "Religion Is Bullshit" visiting Siah Shu Fen's blog.

George Denis Patrick Carlin (May 12, 1937 – June 22, 2008) was an American stand-up comedian. He was also an actor and author, and he won five Grammy Awards for his comedy albums.

Carlin was noted for his black humor as well as his thoughts on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and various taboo subjects. Carlin and his "Seven Dirty Words" comedy routine were central to the 1978 U.S. Supreme Court case F.C.C. v. Pacifica Foundation, in which a narrow 5–4 decision by the justices affirmed the government's power to regulate indecent material on the public airwaves.

Carlin was placed second on the Comedy Central cable television network list of the 100 greatest stand-up comedians, ahead of Lenny Bruce and behind Richard Pryor. He was a frequent performer and guest host on The Tonight Show during the three-decade Johnny Carson era, and also hosted the first episode of Saturday Night Live.

This video clip coming up titled "Religion Is Bullshit" is what impressed me greatly. You may not be.

If you are not impressed with his show, I recommend that just this time, sit back and enjoy yourself. For all we know, God as you know it, may very well have a good sense of humor.

By the way, as I mentioned in a earlier post, no idea or concept is beyond criticism.
