This really hits home with me, because my Dad was an early 'Christian' Evangelical. But before he drank that Kool-Aid, he taught me how to read AND how to question authority (by giving me wrong answers and forcing me to correct him).
@@Ashley-lm4nv That is an excellent question! Because exercising doubt ensures that you understand the true things, as they will always be able to defend themselves, and avoid the false things, because they will fail or refuse to defend themselves. Accepting something which is not true as true can very easily kill you. Without being able to judge if something is true or not, you become totally at the mercy of anyone who tells you anything or any emotion you feel. You become incapable of figuring out what is dangerous and what is helpful.
I went through the same exact thing. And also a very specific man of god(clergyman) who not only helped my brain to convert to atheism but whooped its ass faster along the way. Going to Catholic school is the best way to convert devout believers into vehement atheists.
I agree with George 💯 I m an atheist but I was baptized and raised a Irish Roman Catholic. Catholism is actually the root of the problem.....for me as a critical thinking human being who subscribes to the scientific method as it is based on empirical evidence not "faith", all religions are nonsense.....relics of a time when humans needed to make sense of the world around them! Christianity is the biggest bullshit of them all for obvious reasons....
Well that's normal. Catholicism isn't Christianity. It's a secular organization that just wants your money and puts your life in mans hands not god. I dont need to light candles and say a hail mary etc a priest cannot absolve you of your sins nor can any of the patron saints of Catholicism 🤣🤣🤣 preach the bible without reading it. Just as bad as jehovah witnesses. Worship god and the bible, but doesn't believe in the holy trinity of the bible father, son, holy spirit. Big part of the bible nah we dont believe that. Sorry if you are Catholic you don't believe in god you believe in the church.
@@kobochy8108 I understand what you are saying but Catholicism is NOT SECULAR and it is a branch of Christianity just like the Protestant church of England. To say something is secular is to imply it is completely separate from the Church. Just like Government should be but is not in most countries... The Catholic Church is basically an extension of the Roman empire as it was them who established it!

I've always had problems with Catholicism, as well, in Sunday school. I asked the teacher where God came from and why there is so much evil in the world if God is defined to be 1. All-loving and 2. Omnipotent. They pretty much said, it's part of our faith and it's a mystery which isn't a compelling answer at all. But I still believed in this nonsense to some degree until the year 2010 when I started watching videos from the atheist experience. At the same time, I was arguing for the existence of God in the comments section, but the replies seemed more potent and robust than the spectacularly weak arguments that I put forth. So, that was the initiation of my deconversion.
I was raised Irish Catholic. I was kicked out of Catkism. Sorry cant spell. In 4th grade. Why? When my mother found out she was not mad at me. She just wanted to know why. We went to the school and the teacher told her that i disrupted the class because i asked to many questions. I was not that smart. All i knew was the story i am getting makes no sense.
I was also raised Catholic, it's amazing how many people it manages to turn away without any outside influence. I wasn't convinced by anybody or anything except my own mind, working opposite of what I was being "taught"
Witnessing the youth experiencing Self reflection is amazing. Lol She was speechless. Thumbs up for inspiring critical thinking!! The world needs more of this right now.

I figured it out when I was 11. On my own. By reading the entire bible and concluding it was not something I was going to base my belief on. Made no sense.
Perle Demenia perhaps I would’ve figured it out earlier had I actually had the determination to read all of it like I had planned to many times in elementary school
Survivor Soul I was trying to decide if I wanted to push my parents to let me go to public school instead of the strict religious school I was in all my life. I switched in 6th grade after reading the Bible over the summer (and becoming an atheist). I had to read (and learn) the entire science and social studies text books the first few weeks of school as my knowledge was so lacking. Thankfully I’d been taught mathematics and English (just the basics, no literature). Luckily I was well read in fiction and history so I knew quite a bit from that. IMO religion is a cult. I decided that 40 years ago and haven’t changed my mind.
@@Codex7777 Not just some Irish ancestry. If you look up Carlin's ancestry, you will see that all of his grandparents were immigrants from Ireland. So yes, he was American, but he was also Irish. Not in nationality, but in ethnicity.
Ignoto Uno I’m Christian and i love George. Doesn’t mean what he said didn’t hurt at some point because obviously he’s directly insulting something that we’ve come to love and circulate our lives around... but half of it was legitimately true and the truth doesn’t always feel good.
I'm Christian and some of the the thing he did hurt me a little on the inside. But there are somethings he said that made me laugh. Like that "all those prayers happen on Sunday...his day off". Jokes like that are fine with me...but I thing on some of the others jokes he goes to far. I get it there are supposed to be jokes but just because it's a "joke" don't mean its ok. But I don't hate him for saying all of that this is a place of Freedom and Democracy. I know George was raised Catholic but I think he changed his mind with time. But on that note I liked the reaction keep it up.
@Curious George George Carlin was telling jokes. Anyone who took him seriously doesn't understand comedy nor religion. Anyone who gets hurt feelings from comedians clearly shouldn't be watching them. Carlin's jokes are very clearly exaggerations and distortions, that's what makes them funny. But for those who thought he was profound, I'll debunk his routine. 1. First distortion - God is not an invisible man, He's a Spirit who has no gender. The bible uses he so that we can relate. Now if Carlin was talking about Jesus, he's not invisible either. We can't see him because he's in heaven and we ain't, duh. 2. Second distortion - God doesn't have a list of 10 things he doesn't want us to do. He has a list of 1; if you want his presence, don't sin. Sin isn't allowed in his presence. 3. God doesn't send you to hell. Like sin, hell is a choice. If you like to sin then you choose to go where sinners go. Meanwhile God has given us the antidote for sin. Blaming him if you don't take it is like blaming the doctor for your death because you rejected his medical advice. 4. God doesn't need money. Blaming God because men use religion to get rich is like blaming a car manufacturer because someone purposely hit you with their car. 5. War, disease, death, poverty, hunger etc... are the result of man choosing sin. Wipe out sin, all this stuff goes away. We have the remedy. 6. You can see the sun but you can't explain how it came to exist. So you believe in an invisible explanation to the origin of the universe. Good for you. 7. God literally tells us to pray without ceasing. How is it impolite to pray when he actually tells you too? 8. Prayer is in the divine plan. We are supposed to pray according to God's word. "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done." If you pray against his will he's not obligated to give you what you ask for. 9. Prayer is not a grocery list nor a letter to Santa. Prayer is communication with God by which you get to know him and find his will. Clearly the Joe Pesci part was made up but let's say Joe Pesci did get rid of your neighbor problem. How do you know God didn't send Joe Pesci with the baseball bat? It could have been in the divine plan. 10. Considering that the objective of prayer isn't about getting what you want but is about getting to know God, there is no way of measuring it's success rate. 11. Why would God strike the audience dead in answer to an atheist's prayer? God isn't in the business of filling atheists' request. 12. Carlin challenging God to strike him dead is like a 6 year old kid challenging the President of the United States to nuke him. Why would POTUS respond to a kid's death wish?
It's wonderful seeing people trying to sit down and watch something that literally is in complete contradiction to their entire world view, it's really quite brave. Big love xx
Nothing brave about watching a comedian. I used to watch Carlin all the time when he was alive.If you don't know the difference between jokes and theology that's on you.
@Balder I remember studying early Buddhist atheist philosophy and thinking to myself, "hmmm this dude says about the same thing as Jesus, but tosses most of the religious metaphysics and oppression, is way more clear and direct, said way more, and his intellectual descendents not only weren't all dicks but many actually advanced Buddhist philosophy, hmmm I think it's time for a change."
Literally everyone who ever existed sinned lmao everyone but Jesus! He had to die! GOD PAID the price himself to get us into heaven! Look at the world lmao there are a lot of bad people but honestly the vast majority are getting saved "my father's kingdom has many mansions"! They are for us even the lgbt Jesus died for your sins too 😂😂😂😂😂 and if anyone ever says he didn't just ask them? Are you calling Jesus a liar! Cause that's literally blasphemy and should put their self righteous ass in there place! Lmao! Jesus died for the sins ALL SINS! God did not create us to torture us forever lmao! But if your one of them rich man and Lazarus types! MR burns, Lex Luthor type ass motherfucker! You better REPENT! OR YOUR GONNA FRY FOREVER.
organized religion, sucks I agree. Jesus is where its at... and the fact that he gave his life for you, to forgive your sins that washes you white as snow. all you have to do is believe and accept the gift of salvation that he offers. carlin denies christ's death on the cross, that's obvious. the second carlin breathed his last on this planet, is the second he realized that he made a poor decision.. an afterlife apart from christ- exactly where you don't want to be... think beyond your life here and now ladies and gents.. believe on the name of the lord Jesus Christ and be a new person, with the assurance of living forever in heaven worshipping the king of kings. don't think for a second carlin was correct in his opinions, read the book of John in the new testament and see for yourselves-- peace

He knows this, but he creates these people, and then when they sin exactly the way he already knew they would beforehand because he is all knowing, he punishes them with eternal torture anyway. Please explain how that is love in any way, because it seems kind of fucked up to me.
Christianity began as sun worship, the stories about Jesus are symbolic. He is just a personification of the sun, made into a god figure later on. The sun "dies" for 3 days on December 22nd, the winter solstice, when it stops its movement south, to be born again or resurrected on December 25th, when it resumes its movement north. In some areas, the calendar originally began in the constellation of Virgo, and the sun would therefore be "born of a Virgin" The sun rising in the morning is "the saviour of mankind" The sun is "The light of the World" The sun "walks on water" is just the reflection of the sun on water/the sea. "He cometh on clouds, and every eye shall see him", is just sun rays. Jesus' "crown of thorns" is just the sun's glare, also know as a halo. The sun's "followers", "helpers" or "disciples" are the 12 months and the 12 signs of the zodiac or constellations, through which the sun must pass. The sun at 12 noon is in the house or temple of the "Most High": thus.."he" begins "his Father's work" at "age" 12. The sun enters into each sign of the zodiac at 30 degrees, hense, the "Sun of God" begins his ministry at "age" 30. The sun is hung on a cross or "crucified", which represents its passing through the equinoxes. The vernal equinox being Easter, at which time it is then resurrected. The reason why saviour myths are so similar with a godman who is crucified and resurrected, who does miracles and has 12 disciples, is that these stories were based on the movements of the sun through the heavens, an astrotheological development that can be found throughout the planet, because the sun and the 12 zodiac signs can be observed around the globe. In other words, Jesus Christ and all the others upon whom this character is predicated are personifications of the sun, and the Gospel fable is merely a rehash of a mythological formula revolving around the movements of the sun throug the heavens. .

@@SarthorS In fact in the beggining we invented animisim, worshiping the forces of nature like animals, rivers, forests, lightnings, etc. Then came the gods, in many shapes and forms, usually in groups called pantheons, polytheism (greek pantheon, roman pantheon, Phoenician pantheon, etc... these gods were almost human with flaws like us and there were things you could learn from them.

OMG, he doesn't ACTUALLY pray to Joe Pesci. He was just trying to make a point. That said, kudos to both of you for watching something with at least a little bit of an open mind. Many believers would not be willing to do that. If faith can't stand up to the slightest bit of scrutiny, it must be pretty flimsy to begin with.
As a kid I saw him as an atheist and the thought process is he is going to hell and those who listen to him is in danger of joining him. I no longer see it that way but that's how I use to view George and none believers. Now I am more agnostic in my views.
Girls reaction was hilarious "who hurt them" because she think if you don't believe in god you are broken in some way. I come from religious family and grew out of it when i was teenager because realized it was only my emotional side that needed it for not feeling lonely etc. When i saw that it was only feelings based and stopped caring so much how other people would maybe guilt trip me for not believing, it was easy to let go and move on.
*People disagree with her* "What's wrong with these people? Who hurt them?" It's a comedy show honey, they aren't hurt. They're having a good ass time.
Its the same as if we said "what is wrong with these people?" For believing the bs that is religion. As someone not from there it amazes me how many Americans still believe all that crap to this day.
The literal definition of faith is the complete abdication of logic. Read something else that isn't the bible, and question everything you read and learn.
@Ai7A The Grey Jedi It's hard to believe in a god who is supposed to be the most enlighted being and sees eveyone in every level when he's so ensecure that he would send anyone who praise "fake gods" instead of him. This sound more like a freakn Light Novel where the "god" or "gods" are just people who are extremely powerful that needs "faith" as some sort of power source for their abilities so that's why they are mad on anyone of his followers that praise other "gods". And yes any "good christian" can refute GC but as he said, the only evidence they can present is the bible itself. Which defeat the purpose since the bible isn't an evidence, it's a claim of something.

I was raised irish catholic. Got kicked out of catycism?. When i was in 4th grade. Why? Cause i asked to many questions. I was a normal kid. I was being told a story that didnt nake sense. When my mother asked why i was kicked out. My asking questions upset the class. So i was being punished cause the bs that i am being told is lame.
Losing one's faith is the most liberating experience possible. It's like clearing fog from a window that's been fogged for years. Carlin is doing god's work here 😉

mrscary3105 He was for me and my father as well. I’ve been watching his standup since my dad introduced me to him in 1994 when I was only 10. I actually had tickets to see him live for the first time ever in October 2008. It felt like losing a family member but I’m so glad his wisdom lives on in his books, interviews and specials. He was one of a kind! RIP George 😢
Irish comedian Dave Allen (huge in the UK in the 70's) also questioned the ridiculousness of religion. Father Ted was even more biting but in a hilarious way. There SHOULD be questions on religion because religion is responsible for more war death than any other reason,so its kind of important to not only question it,but examine it thoroughly. Faith in stories from a 2000 year old book proclaiming a supreme creator is in very short supply these days and people are increasingly believing their eyes. I cannot put a case for ANY religion and i was raised Church of England. George was right....question EVERYTHING.
It was so refreshing to see a christian who can empathise with other opinions, understand other perspectives while still talking about their personal spirituality. I feel like I could have a theological conversation with you, without being told "I need to be saved". I really wish more christians were like you.

That seems a bit arrogant, why? If you don’t tell them why, (and it needs to be a reasonable why) then they most likely will be religious whether you like it or not.
When I was a kid I struggled with religion. First I couldn't understand why god would make my brother disabled. Then I couldn't understand why, if there is only one god, why are there SOOOOO many religions and why can't we agree on how to worship god. Then I learned in school that slave owners in the US taught specific bible verses to slaves to justify slavery so black people would accept their position. I also learned that black people were not allowed to practice their religion, know their country of origin, or anything about their culture. that was the day I gave up Christianity because I didn't feel it was a religion compatible with black people. it also didn't make sense to me to pray to my oppressor's god for salvage from oppression. Then I learned in school about manifest destiny, the crusades, the Spanish inquisition, and world war ii, and I lived with horrible actions by my government in the name of god and religion. I realized man used the bible, religion, and religious differences to justify their atrocities. I felt even if there was a god, man was too corrupt to be his messenger. I wanted to believe in god, but I saw to much pain in the world. crime, poverty, excessive wealth, war, murder, and death, etc. finally I took a philosophy class in college and one question we debated was is the world the way it is because there is no god, because there is a god who makes the world a world of pain and despair, or because god gave man free will and man creates pain and despair. and if god gave man free will, is this what he intended with that free will. Today, i believe in science and nature. I can see those things and I know they exist. i do not need faith to believe in things i can clearly see and feel. i do not believe in god
For me it was the concept of hell. Imagine you have a daughter that you love more than life. Then if she doesn't obey you or disowns you, you send her to some cellar where people torture her eternally. Why tf would you do that?!? What does that give to you? And this creature that made hell is supposed to be the embodiment of love. Just doesn't work.

Bad evidence or none. It's funny, my friend just moved and a few days ago while unpacking, she found her old high school yearbook. My senior quote was "Belief without evidence is faith; belief against evidence is foolish." How appropriate the timing! :)
@CALEB ALVAREZ You are right that the word has multiple different meanings. When you talk about putting your faith in God the word takes the meaning of trust. You can indeed use faith as a synonymous of trust and be correct, but I often find people trying to switch back and forth between those meanings in the course of an argument when is convenient. I'm specifically referring to faith as when is used as a justification for a belief. In that context faith takes the place of the evidence and becomes the evidence itself. The "evidence of things unseen" I believe is what's mentioned in the bible. In this context, when people have a good reason to believe something, they always use that reason. Its only when this falls short that people start to saying they take things on faith.
They’re both awkward because they know George is talking sense and they can’t refute any of it with logic. See reason guys. Being raised in a religion, is no excuse to stick with it when you’re an adult.
Indeed: tradition and learned doctrine is simply a means to power. There is no truth in something so old ad christianity. It’s all a load of shit.

Except for the "Irish" and the "Catholic", that's me, too. I think the last time I believed in the biblical god I was seven. It took me a few more years to work my way past "well, the bible is clearly bullshit, but someone had to have created all this, so I guess I'm a deist now", to "I guess the Big Bang is no more ludicrous than a creator popping into existence out of nowhere - either way you have the same problem with the first uncaused cause", to "man, evolution sure makes a lot of sense", to "everything makes sense if it's just nature, and nothing makes sense if you add gods to the mix, so how does anyone sustain a belief in the divine in the age of information? Every single thing has a better scientific explanation than a religious one, and the natural view of the world doesn't suffer from half the inconsistencies plaguing the religious view." I finally landed on "organised religion is a bunch of evil, power hungry cunts exploiting the vulnerable, and it must be kept separate from the state at any cost. Also, tax the bastards."

"Voltaire firmly believed in God." - Daniel Gordon (scholar/expert) see (The Bedford Series in History and Culture: Boston, 1999. Part One: The Duality of Voltaire, Religion, p. 13.) Further, I did searches, peer-reviewed scholarly searches, and I can find no such quote (freeing fools) from Voltaire. However, as stated in the @zarak comment/reply mentioned above, I've only read "Candide," a few scholarly treatments of Voltaire, and a handful of Voltaire's personal letters. Therefore, I could be wrong. Maybe Voltaire said this thing about "freeing fools;" however, a contextual understanding of Voltaire's philosophy makes it obvious that he would be including atheist in such a statement. True skeptics know...they don't know. Fools, well, we see what fools do.
One last note, Donald Bird is exactly why Donald Trump and fake news rule the day. Billy Bob Thornton pointed out to Travis Smiley on an episode of Smiley's old PBS program (which is no longer available online so you'll have to take my word for it) that TH-cam and Facebook has mislead morons, making them believe that just because every fool has a voice/platform they should use it. Wrong! Some people should stay quiet. Like Voltaire, I'll keep doing my part to correct this nonsense when I see it.
I like how honest analytical and strong emotionally you both are; I'm an Atheist now but when I was a Christian, many years ago, I found that video looking for comedy on TH-cam and found it deeply offensive, because it was true but always thought it'd be better to use other approaches and choice words, but it's Comedy and Genius Georgy always went for the guts, so now it makes sense why he choose that way
The problem is most people raised Christian haven't actually read the whole bible, the making of the Bible and how it was used to justify things like slavery in the early days of America.
Exodus 21,Instructions on how to own another human being as property.And the best part is listening to them bend over backwards to try and justify it,Its laughable.
And Native Americans used what book to justify owning slaves? We know what book the Muslims use for the same purpose. The Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Incas, Numidians and every civilisation/empire that ever existed practised slavery (btw some still do - apart from the Christians who, after the enlightenment, campaigned against and eventually abolished it!). No credit for that though...
I read the bible 4 times at confirmation camp and came out as satanist XD Holy shit he book of kings was brutal XD Lutherian evencelist bible, don´t know any of catholic or protestant or one of them fucked up cults that belive that islam is catholic hoaxs.
FWPIII How is it sad? She is young. Now she’s heard of it, which that I believe to be sad. I don’t know your age or anything, but I am 100% certain lets say 5 years down the road or something you will have heard of this idea for the first time, but it’s been around for a long time. For that I will say “it’s sad you just heard of it”. Who cares she just heard of it. People learn different view points at different points in there lives. Seriously... Who cares! I’m willing to bet you just learned about Juneteenth? Come on be honest I am 100% sure you have. If not then fine, but you know good and well millions of Americans just learned about it.
@@Nebraska2927You answered your question - It's sad that she's just heard of "it". The options weren't laid out and explained to her when she was a child. If they were she wouldnt be so surprised. At a very young age my parents broke it down for me and gave me a choice. She was indoctrinated as most people are.
As an ex-muslim (atheist now), that’s how the world is sadly. Nothing I could do about not discussing other perspectives with my extremely religious family. So I don’t like putting people like her down.
This was funny to watch... the face of a religious person listening to a guy who’s logic is so good that you just decide to figuratively “ear muff” yourself
This video in a nutshell: - George Carlin: *Making loads of sense* - The girl: *being absolutely oblivious of anyone else's walk of life* - The dad: "How do you do fellow kids?"
Maybe, but at least they are not faking their reaction. Which is a lot better than most channels who you can tell force their "liking" of a person in the video.
Sounds a bit like wishful thinking, my friend. You can't know that. :) I'm an atheist, but as we can see here in the comment section, people often don't loose bias, faith and wishful thinking, just because they got rid of religion. Unfortunately there are a lot of atheists who behave just like the religious. Still a lack of rational arguments and objectivity. :>
It’s a shame people are believing all this nonsense. God gave people “Free Will” and with that there comes destruction. If God wanted everything to be “perfect” God would have to remove the free will aspect and all of us would be perfect robots. God gave us the choice to either believe or not to. Either to do drugs or not to. Either to murder someone or not to. It’s our choice.
@@Nebraska2927 if free will cant exist without evil then it follows that there is no free will in heaven, doesn't it? or do people believe there is evil in heaven? im not trying to be a dick, I am actually curious
Flin Grin Flin Grin Well I would say evil was tolerated at one point in heaven. God did cast Satan and his angels from heaven. Also in 1 Kings 22:19-23 we read of an event happening and evil being tolerated. Revelation 12:5-10 talks about God purging the evil out of heaven. Revelation 21 talks about Heaven after the evil has been purged. Way I see it is there is still free-will, but the intent or desire of evil won’t be there like there was in 1 Kings 22:19-23. To give an example from a worldly perspective is this. For my experience being a Christian when I went to a Christian school or when I’m around Christian friends I can honestly say I never had any kind of desire to do evil or more generically to sin. The only free-will I desired was to do good. The way I see it is this... Yes evil was tolerated at one point in time in heaven. God basically cleaned things up by casting Satan and his angels out of heaven. Now yes there is still free will, but now purity around people the desire won’t be there to sin. Revelation 21:4 says there is no more pain, sorrow, or death.
@@Nebraska2927 wow, what a response! thanks =) "Way I see it is there is still free-will, but the intent or desire of evil won’t be there like there was in 1 Kings 22:19-23." - doesnt this imply that we can have free will AND be free of evil?
to believe in the religion he's talking about and have such an open mind to at least hearing what he has to say without dismissing it immediately is very impressive. good video, and the audio sounds great with headphones!
And a quick Google search reveals.. "Technically, “Catholic” (when capitalized) refers to the Christian Church founded by Our Blessed Lord on the Apostle Peter, and his successors (the Popes in Rome); while “Roman Catholic” only refers to a Catholic in the diocese of Rome." I also grew up Catholic and I've heard it called Roman Catholic many times, although technically it's incorrect...
@Dl hello ? is anybody there ? the light doesn't seem to be on in the house things ARE answered , just putting a god in the singularity ... isn't a fucking ''answer'' the rest is all cooked and served , my friend ... don't need to know where the gas comes from yet , but we'll get the answer to that one too
And Carlin wasn't "testing his faith": he was an Atheist who had no faith in religion. He was making the point that it doesn't matter if you pray to anyone/anything or not: sometimes you'll get what you want and sometimes you won't. In that regard, prayer is completely useless.
As an agnostic, I distance myself from atheists. People who are convinced that god exists, don't like to be made a laughing stock of from people who basically rubbish religion. Sarcastic witty piss taking is not something a believer can associate with. Many atheists ridicule god squaders because logic and reality of life, over-ride fantasy figures. but if you rub people's noses in it, you'll never get them to think freely, they will only put their guard up, and turn on the ignorant light.
@@garthreid7114 I'm an Agnostic Atheist, not a pure Atheist, and was a Christian for 20 years of my life. I am respectful to Theists when they're respectful to me. Sadly, most (particularly Christians) are not and have a stereotype of who I am built into their heads (likely from their places of worship). It's only gotten worse over the years as being a "Loud Evangelical Christian" is all the more socially acceptable in rural America where I live in.
Not impressed or just not enjoying the thought train that she'll later tackle. If she stays religious or not its a mental discussion that every human needs to have.
As an atheist, I really appreciated both of your open-minded and thoughtful approach to this subject.

She's a young lady who grew up within church indoctrination. I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that was probably enforced by her mother, her grandparents... her whole family & community. This girl isn't dumb, she's just young and brainwashed. But her dad is doing his part to expand her mind a little. Don't shit on that. I am athiest/agnostic.

@@wesbaumguardner8829 The absolute "blind faith" that religion requires is nothing like government. Usually when faith is discussed as a horrible method to attain knowledge, the "faithful" get butthurt and say something like "everyone believes in something" because they want to falsely conflate belief and faith.
@@JC-jo9bf The blind faith of government is much worse because people do not even realize that they have it and many more people die as a result of government than other religions. People do not recognize the occult symbolism behind government as religious, when in fact, it is. They do not see the black gowns of judges as a high priest's garb. They do not see the judges box as a podium which the God of government's words (law) are espoused to the sinners (defendents.) They do not see elections, inaugurations, addresses, etc. as religious rituals. They do not see the prison terms and executions for what they are: human sacrifice. They do not see the casualties of the foreign peoples whose countries we invade for what it is: human sacrifice. The human sacrifice that is proudly acknowledged is the sacrifice of the lives of the soldiers (soul-diers) we send to invade. As if going halfway across the world and crossing some fictional national border with the consent of a group of corrupt politicians whom profiteer from resources stolen from other people could make it morally correct and good to kill people and plunder their resources. That is the tragedy of the religion of government.
And the only divine plan is that "faith moves mountains"... Doesn't matter which "God"... In fact there's only one... Jehovah, Allah, Shiva are all different names because people in the world speak different languages.
I love that you 2 tackled this....I mean this is SENSITIVE stuff and you tried to come at it objectively. I loved George Carlin because he cracked jokes about everything and anything but he did it intelligently.
She's, what, 20-something? And she's never in her life crossed paths with the idea that God isn't real? I mean I'll believe her if she says that, but I find that surprising. I'm not making fun of her, but she didn't have any response. She was completely unprepared to be confronted by that possibility. Is she aware that atheists exist?
No, he's not, unfortunately. I believe he said in another video (I want to say the Ill Mind Of Hopsin 7 video, but I don't fully recall) he's actually studying to join the clergy or something equally religious like that.
@@0pyrophosphate0 She is now 😂 But after 20-ish years of never being exposed to any ideas that differ from what she was taught over and over again the entire time.... it'll be hard for her to truly analyze these beliefs.
As an Atheist, I can see the rational wheels begin to turn in her head. Although she "appears" incredulous I believe a huuuge seed of doubt has been planted in her beliefs. Wait until she reads Exodus 21 and also realizes the 10 commandments comes after it, lol! Or that "God" instructed Moses to commit Genocide but keep all the "untouched" girls for themselves.

It's interesting to see when someone is visibly questioning their beliefs. The girl on the right is seriously questioning hers as she's watching this video of George Carlin. Which is absolutely fantastic because without people like George Carlin, people would be mindless toward one perspective and point of view.
Same applies for black muslims. Look up the Arab slave trade if you think otherwise. You just don't talk about it much because it's easier to bash someone who has already admitted the wrongdoing, taken the blame and the shame and doesn't threaten to kill you if you offend their god and religion.
@@cuttight Actually, I think people don't talk about it as much because here in the US, Christianity is the most common religious belief, and has the most influence on people's behavior, education, and national legislation. Of course people will focus on tearing down the institutions that hurt people the most where they live instead of focusing on the ones hurting people elsewhere in the world.
religion is so bullshit , look at the pope and other leaders in what kinda cathedrals they live in with all the goods ,no taxes , really ? the biggest scam in human history !
It's hilarious to me when people like Carlin or the idiots in these comments use the same tired worn out talking points as a case against God. Why is there evil, wars, famine or disease??? All really pathetic talking points and if you actually read the Bible, those are addressed time and again. People want to couple religion and faith into the same thing and it's not by any means. Religion is a creation of man to serve the interest of men, that is a point addressed in the Bible and it also tells you how to know the true intentions of a person. Faith is the knowing that there is a higher power and a reason for everything under the sun. Not to believe in something more important than yourself is a arrogant really pathetic existence to live.
She’s young, indoctrinated, and she’s watching this WITH HER DAD! That in itself is a difficult dynamic, full of tension, need to prove oneself, be obedient, respectful, etc. But she’ll get it, she’s smart. She’ll start asking better questions of herself, various belief systems, religion’s hypocrisy, critical thinking, personal freedom, etc.
Well honestly if people educated themselves on religion, many religions, the history of religion they would realize how similar they are to each other and how many times the Christian story alone has been done, there are at least 2 previous religions with the exact same story, one from east Africa, during the Egyptian era, and an Asian religion hundreds of years before the Egyptian one, they are literally the same story, god sent his son to sacrifice himself for his children of Earth and he was betrayed by close friend, and rose 3 days later to prove himself the son of god.

"Don’t just teach your children to read,
Teach them to question what they read. Teach them to question everything." - George Carlin
True
This really hits home with me, because my Dad was an early 'Christian' Evangelical. But before he drank that Kool-Aid, he taught me how to read AND how to question authority (by giving me wrong answers and forcing me to correct him).
- Question erverything!!
Me: Why?
"Children must be taught how to think not what to think". ~ Margaret Mead
@@Ashley-lm4nv That is an excellent question! Because exercising doubt ensures that you understand the true things, as they will always be able to defend themselves, and avoid the false things, because they will fail or refuse to defend themselves. Accepting something which is not true as true can very easily kill you. Without being able to judge if something is true or not, you become totally at the mercy of anyone who tells you anything or any emotion you feel. You become incapable of figuring out what is dangerous and what is helpful.
George was actually raised Catholic and even went to Catholic school. He actually credited Catholicism for making him not believe in God
I went through the same exact thing. And also a very specific man of god(clergyman) who not only helped my brain to convert to atheism but whooped its ass faster along the way. Going to Catholic school is the best way to convert devout believers into vehement atheists.
I agree with George 💯 I m an atheist but I was baptized and raised a Irish Roman Catholic. Catholism is actually the root of the problem.....for me as a critical thinking human being who subscribes to the scientific method as it is based on empirical evidence not "faith", all religions are nonsense.....relics of a time when humans needed to make sense of the world around them! Christianity is the biggest bullshit of them all for obvious reasons....
Well that's normal. Catholicism isn't Christianity. It's a secular organization that just wants your money and puts your life in mans hands not god. I dont need to light candles and say a hail mary etc a priest cannot absolve you of your sins nor can any of the patron saints of Catholicism 🤣🤣🤣 preach the bible without reading it. Just as bad as jehovah witnesses. Worship god and the bible, but doesn't believe in the holy trinity of the bible father, son, holy spirit. Big part of the bible nah we dont believe that. Sorry if you are Catholic you don't believe in god you believe in the church.

@@kobochy8108 I understand what you are saying but Catholicism is NOT SECULAR and it is a branch of Christianity just like the Protestant church of England.

The Catholic Church is basically an extension of the Roman empire as it was them who established it!

I was raised Catholic, I became an atheist on my own. Always questioned everything. George helped me to realize I wasn't alone, thanks George!
I've always had problems with Catholicism, as well, in Sunday school. I asked the teacher where God came from and why there is so much evil in the world if God is defined to be 1. All-loving and 2. Omnipotent. They pretty much said, it's part of our faith and it's a mystery which isn't a compelling answer at all. But I still believed in this nonsense to some degree until the year 2010 when I started watching videos from the atheist experience. At the same time, I was arguing for the existence of God in the comments section, but the replies seemed more potent and robust than the spectacularly weak arguments that I put forth. So, that was the initiation of my deconversion.
Though I'm not Christian since my country (Thailand) majority is Buddhism. But one thing I can agree on is religion is BS
I was same way. The Catholic Religion is a religion of doubt.
I was raised Irish Catholic. I was kicked out of Catkism. Sorry cant spell. In 4th grade. Why? When my mother found out she was not mad at me. She just wanted to know why. We went to the school and the teacher told her that i disrupted the class because i asked to many questions. I was not that smart. All i knew was the story i am getting makes no sense.
I was also raised Catholic, it's amazing how many people it manages to turn away without any outside influence. I wasn't convinced by anybody or anything except my own mind, working opposite of what I was being "taught"

I figured it out when I was 11. On my own. By reading the entire bible and concluding it was not something I was going to base my belief on. Made no sense.
Perle Demenia perhaps I would’ve figured it out earlier had I actually had the determination to read all of it like I had planned to many times in elementary school
Survivor Soul I was trying to decide if I wanted to push my parents to let me go to public school instead of the strict religious school I was in all my life. I switched in 6th grade after reading the Bible over the summer (and becoming an atheist). I had to read (and learn) the entire science and social studies text books the first few weeks of school as my knowledge was so lacking. Thankfully I’d been taught mathematics and English (just the basics, no literature). Luckily I was well read in fiction and history so I knew quite a bit from that. IMO religion is a cult. I decided that 40 years ago and haven’t changed my mind.

I'm Christian and some of the the thing he did hurt me a little on the inside. But there are somethings he said that made me laugh. Like that "all those prayers happen on Sunday...his day off". Jokes like that are fine with me...but I thing on some of the others jokes he goes to far. I get it there are supposed to be jokes but just because it's a "joke" don't mean its ok. But I don't hate him for saying all of that this is a place of Freedom and Democracy. I know George was raised Catholic but I think he changed his mind with time. But on that note I liked the reaction keep it up.
@Curious George George Carlin was telling jokes. Anyone who took him seriously doesn't understand comedy nor religion. Anyone who gets hurt feelings from comedians clearly shouldn't be watching them. Carlin's jokes are very clearly exaggerations and distortions, that's what makes them funny. But for those who thought he was profound, I'll debunk his routine.
1. First distortion - God is not an invisible man, He's a Spirit who has no gender. The bible uses he so that we can relate. Now if Carlin was talking about Jesus, he's not invisible either. We can't see him because he's in heaven and we ain't, duh.
2. Second distortion - God doesn't have a list of 10 things he doesn't want us to do. He has a list of 1; if you want his presence, don't sin. Sin isn't allowed in his presence.
3. God doesn't send you to hell. Like sin, hell is a choice. If you like to sin then you choose to go where sinners go. Meanwhile God has given us the antidote for sin. Blaming him if you don't take it is like blaming the doctor for your death because you rejected his medical advice.
4. God doesn't need money. Blaming God because men use religion to get rich is like blaming a car manufacturer because someone purposely hit you with their car.
5. War, disease, death, poverty, hunger etc... are the result of man choosing sin. Wipe out sin, all this stuff goes away. We have the remedy.
6. You can see the sun but you can't explain how it came to exist. So you believe in an invisible explanation to the origin of the universe. Good for you.
7. God literally tells us to pray without ceasing. How is it impolite to pray when he actually tells you too?
8. Prayer is in the divine plan. We are supposed to pray according to God's word. "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done." If you pray against his will he's not obligated to give you what you ask for.
9. Prayer is not a grocery list nor a letter to Santa. Prayer is communication with God by which you get to know him and find his will.
Clearly the Joe Pesci part was made up but let's say Joe Pesci did get rid of your neighbor problem. How do you know God didn't send Joe Pesci with the baseball bat? It could have been in the divine plan.
10. Considering that the objective of prayer isn't about getting what you want but is about getting to know God, there is no way of measuring it's success rate.
11. Why would God strike the audience dead in answer to an atheist's prayer? God isn't in the business of filling atheists' request.
12. Carlin challenging God to strike him dead is like a 6 year old kid challenging the President of the United States to nuke him. Why would POTUS respond to a kid's death wish?
@@TheMeefive 1-12 made up bs just like your buybull. None of it provable or believable.

The genius of Carlin was his ability to make people laugh at themselves.Liten-up.You,re going to be here for a relatively short period of time.
@@TheMeefive The joke is that theology is a joke. lol
@@Cthulhoop And you have evidence that supports your conclusion?
Being raised in Christianity, going to Christian school, and studying it academically in college is what led me to atheism and philosophy. Lol 😆
College : another scam.
@@goldenruletv7301 a capitalist scam perhaps, but books are still books. Pick up a few.
Studying it and thinking critically about it would make anyone an atheist.
@Balder I remember studying early Buddhist atheist philosophy and thinking to myself, "hmmm this dude says about the same thing as Jesus, but tosses most of the religious metaphysics and oppression, is way more clear and direct, said way more, and his intellectual descendents not only weren't all dicks but many actually advanced Buddhist philosophy, hmmm I think it's time for a change."
Literally everyone who ever existed sinned lmao everyone but Jesus! He had to die! GOD PAID the price himself to get us into heaven! Look at the world lmao there are a lot of bad people but honestly the vast majority are getting saved "my father's kingdom has many mansions"! They are for us even the lgbt Jesus died for your sins too 😂😂😂😂😂 and if anyone ever says he didn't just ask them? Are you calling Jesus a liar! Cause that's literally blasphemy and should put their self righteous ass in there place! Lmao! Jesus died for the sins ALL SINS! God did not create us to torture us forever lmao! But if your one of them rich man and Lazarus types! MR burns, Lex Luthor type ass motherfucker! You better REPENT! OR YOUR GONNA FRY FOREVER.
As an atheist myself, I really respected your objective look at Carlin. Much love for the channel fam.
Same here... Dad's objectiveness, and Daughter's self-control! She deserves a trophy for that "Gameface". =)
organized religion, sucks I agree.
Jesus is where its at... and the fact that he gave his life for you, to forgive your sins that washes you white as snow. all you have to do is believe and accept the gift of salvation that he offers.
carlin denies christ's death on the cross, that's obvious.
the second carlin breathed his last on this planet, is the second he realized that he made a poor decision.. an afterlife apart from christ- exactly where you don't want to be...
think beyond your life here and now ladies and gents..
believe on the name of the lord Jesus Christ and be a new person, with the assurance of living forever in heaven worshipping the king of kings.
don't think for a second carlin was correct in his opinions,
read the book of John in the new testament and see for yourselves-- peace
@@kdesjarlais8200 And that is your opinion. And you are free to believe it. But just because you believe it doesn't mean it's true.
But if you're belief in a deity helps you to be a good person, then I am happy for you. Because in the end, being a good person is what this world truly needs (but, no god(s) are necessary to be a good person).
@@kdesjarlais8200 Any god that says "Love me and do what I want or suffer forever until the end of time" isn't worth worshiping in my eyes. That's not love, thats just a threat. Plus being the all knowing deity that god is, he already knows every single person that ever has and ever will sin. He knows this, but he creates these people, and then when they sin exactly the way he already knew they would beforehand because he is all knowing, he punishes them with eternal torture anyway. Please explain how that is love in any way, because it seems kind of fucked up to me.
Christianity began as sun worship, the stories about Jesus are symbolic.
He is just a personification of the sun, made into a god figure later on.
The sun "dies" for 3 days on December 22nd, the winter solstice, when it stops its movement south, to be born again or resurrected on December 25th, when it resumes its movement north.
In some areas, the calendar originally began in the constellation of Virgo, and the sun would therefore be "born of a Virgin"
The sun rising in the morning is "the saviour of mankind"
The sun is "The light of the World"
The sun "walks on water" is just the reflection of the sun on water/the sea.
"He cometh on clouds, and every eye shall see him", is just sun rays.
Jesus' "crown of thorns" is just the sun's glare, also know as a halo.
The sun's "followers", "helpers" or "disciples" are the 12 months and the 12 signs of the zodiac or constellations, through which the sun must pass.
The sun at 12 noon is in the house or temple of the "Most High": thus.."he" begins "his Father's work" at "age" 12.
The sun enters into each sign of the zodiac at 30 degrees, hense, the "Sun of God" begins his ministry at "age" 30.
The sun is hung on a cross or "crucified", which represents its passing through the equinoxes.
The vernal equinox being Easter, at which time it is then resurrected.
The reason why saviour myths are so similar with a godman who is crucified and resurrected, who does miracles and has 12 disciples, is that these stories were based on the movements of the sun through the heavens, an astrotheological development that can be found throughout the planet, because the sun and the 12 zodiac signs can be observed around the globe.
In other words, Jesus Christ and all the others upon whom this character is predicated are personifications of the sun, and the Gospel fable is merely a rehash of a mythological formula revolving around the movements of the sun throug the heavens.

George spoke the truth 100 % 👍🏼
The part that really had her thinking was when George talked about prayers not being answered and people saying, well, it was Gods will. Well, if it's Gods will why are you praying to begin with? Which is a very good analogy.
I've thought the same thing - so I assume I'm not understanding what it actually is
Prayer is for communciation. Not getting things. You establish a relationship by trying to best align your will with Gods
We pray for things that aren't God's will cos we're human, not God. He's not stuck in the flesh like we are

@@gurujr Nope. Man created both. Thousands upon thousands of gods, for as long as there have been people, everywhere there have been people. Making up gods is just something people do in a vain attempt to explain something they have no understanding of. Every single god is just peoples unwillingness to accept their own ignorance.
@@SarthorS In fact in the beggining we invented animisim, worshiping the forces of nature like animals, rivers, forests, lightnings, etc. Then came the gods, in many shapes and forms, usually in groups called pantheons, polytheism (greek pantheon, roman pantheon, Phoenician pantheon, etc... these gods were almost human with flaws like us and there were things you could learn from them. Then came God (hebrews, christians and muslims, yes all these people follow the same god, funny right?), all was set in stone, almighty, all knowing, nothing to learn from it, and all went to shit.

OMG, he doesn't ACTUALLY pray to Joe Pesci. He was just trying to make a point. That said, kudos to both of you for watching something with at least a little bit of an open mind.

I would agree that religion and faith is definitely flimsy.

Girls reaction was hilarious "who hurt them" because she think if you don't believe in god you are broken in some way.
I come from religious family and grew out of it when i was teenager because realized it was only my emotional side that needed it for not feeling lonely etc. When i saw that it was only feelings based and stopped caring so much how other people would maybe guilt trip me for not believing, it was easy to let go and move on.

@Ai7A The Grey Jedi It's hard to believe in a god who is supposed to be the most enlighted being and sees eveyone in every level when he's so ensecure that he would send anyone who praise "fake gods" instead of him. This sound more like a freakn Light Novel where the "god" or "gods" are just people who are extremely powerful that needs "faith" as some sort of power source for their abilities so that's why they are mad on anyone of his followers that praise other "gods".
And yes any "good christian" can refute GC but as he said, the only evidence they can present is the bible itself. Which defeat the purpose since the bible isn't an evidence, it's a claim of something.

He used to be Irish Catholic, then he was an American. You know, you grow...
Irish comedian Dave Allen (huge in the UK in the 70's) also questioned the ridiculousness of religion.
Father Ted was even more biting but in a hilarious way.
There SHOULD be questions on religion because religion is responsible for more war death than any other reason,so its kind of important to not only question it,but examine it thoroughly.
Faith in stories from a 2000 year old book proclaiming a supreme creator is in very short supply these days and people are increasingly believing their eyes.
I cannot put a case for ANY religion and i was raised Church of England.
George was right....question EVERYTHING.
It was so refreshing to see a christian who can empathise with other opinions, understand other perspectives while still talking about their personal spirituality.
I feel like I could have a theological conversation with you, without being told "I need to be saved". I really wish more christians were like you.

When I was a kid I struggled with religion. First I couldn't understand why god would make my brother disabled. Then I couldn't understand why, if there is only one god, why are there SOOOOO many religions and why can't we agree on how to worship god. Then I learned in school that slave owners in the US taught specific bible verses to slaves to justify slavery so black people would accept their position. I also learned that black people were not allowed to practice their religion, know their country of origin, or anything about their culture. that was the day I gave up Christianity because I didn't feel it was a religion compatible with black people. it also didn't make sense to me to pray to my oppressor's god for salvage from oppression. Then I learned in school about manifest destiny, the crusades, the Spanish inquisition, and world war ii, and I lived with horrible actions by my government in the name of god and religion. I realized man used the bible, religion, and religious differences to justify their atrocities. I felt even if there was a god, man was too corrupt to be his messenger. I wanted to believe in god, but I saw to much pain in the world. crime, poverty, excessive wealth, war, murder, and death, etc. finally I took a philosophy class in college and one question we debated was is the world the way it is because there is no god, because there is a god who makes the world a world of pain and despair, or because god gave man free will and man creates pain and despair. and if god gave man free will, is this what he intended with that free will.
Today, i believe in science and nature. I can see those things and I know they exist. i do not need faith to believe in things i can clearly see and feel. i do not believe in god
For me it was the concept of hell. Imagine you have a daughter that you love more than life. Then if she doesn't obey you or disowns you, you send her to some cellar where people torture her eternally. Why tf would you do that?!? What does that give to you? And this creature that made hell is supposed to be the embodiment of love. Just doesn't work.

“Faith” means believing in something with bad evidence. Having faith in something is not a virtue.
Bad evidence or none. It's funny, my friend just moved and a few days ago while unpacking, she found her old high school yearbook. My senior quote was "Belief without evidence is faith; belief against evidence is foolish." How appropriate the timing! :)
Worse. Faith means believing something in the absence of evidence and despite of evidence to the contrary.
@CALEB ALVAREZ Since the first con man met the first fool, as far as I can tell.
Not "bad evidence". "NO evidence".
@CALEB ALVAREZ You are right that the word has multiple different meanings. When you talk about putting your faith in God the word takes the meaning of trust. You can indeed use faith as a synonymous of trust and be correct, but I often find people trying to switch back and forth between those meanings in the course of an argument when is convenient.
I'm specifically referring to faith as when is used as a justification for a belief. In that context faith takes the place of the evidence and becomes the evidence itself. The "evidence of things unseen" I believe is what's mentioned in the bible.
In this context, when people have a good reason to believe something, they always use that reason. Its only when this falls short that people start to saying they take things on faith.
They’re both awkward because they know George is talking sense and they can’t refute any of it with logic.
See reason guys. Being raised in a religion, is no excuse to stick with it when you’re an adult.

It took me a few more years to work my way past "well, the bible is clearly bullshit, but someone had to have created all this, so I guess I'm a deist now", to "I guess the Big Bang is no more ludicrous than a creator popping into existence out of nowhere - either way you have the same problem with the first uncaused cause", to "man, evolution sure makes a lot of sense", to "everything makes sense if it's just nature, and nothing makes sense if you add gods to the mix, so how does anyone sustain a belief in the divine in the age of information? Every single thing has a better scientific explanation than a religious one, and the natural view of the world doesn't suffer from half the inconsistencies plaguing the religious view." I finally landed on "organised religion is a bunch of evil, power hungry cunts exploiting the vulnerable, and it must be kept separate from the state at any cost. Also, tax the bastards."
@@austenhead5303 couldn't agree more!
@Language and Programming Channel Except they know one more thing than the religious ones: that religion isn't true.
"It is difficult to free fools from the chains they rever." - Voltaire
Have read Voltaire? Obviously not!
@Alberto Garcia ?
@Alberto Garcia Looking back on this comment to Donald Bird: Perhaps, I was rude. I think it's because I found Voltaire being misrepresented all over this thread. If you're wondering about my own level of Voltaire literacy/awareness, I refer you the post by @zaraki119 kenpachi119 in this same thread. He quotes Voltaire as having said something which was actually written by an online troll in 2009.
The same appears to be true with this guy's citation. Where does it come from? He doesn't know. He went to "brainy quotes" .com! Ha! As if brainy people need a website! Real brainy people quote things they've actually read.
"Voltaire firmly believed in God." - Daniel Gordon (scholar/expert) see (The Bedford Series in History and Culture: Boston, 1999. Part One: The Duality of Voltaire, Religion, p. 13.)
Further, I did searches, peer-reviewed scholarly searches, and I can find no such quote (freeing fools) from Voltaire. However, as stated in the @zarak comment/reply mentioned above, I've only read "Candide," a few scholarly treatments of Voltaire, and a handful of Voltaire's personal letters. Therefore, I could be wrong. Maybe Voltaire said this thing about "freeing fools;" however, a contextual understanding of Voltaire's philosophy makes it obvious that he would be including atheist in such a statement. True skeptics know...they don't know.
Fools, well, we see what fools do.
One last note, Donald Bird is exactly why Donald Trump and fake news rule the day. Billy Bob Thornton pointed out to Travis Smiley on an episode of Smiley's old PBS program (which is no longer available online so you'll have to take my word for it) that TH-cam and Facebook has mislead morons, making them believe that just because every fool has a voice/platform they should use it. Wrong! Some people should stay quiet. Like Voltaire, I'll keep doing my part to correct this nonsense when I see it.
After his death Voltaire's house was used to print Bible's and store Christian literature. God had the last word as he always will.
She looked so uncomfortable, I was laughing my ass off.
I felt sorry for her. The mental anguish she was experiencing is painful.
I like how honest analytical and strong emotionally you both are; I'm an Atheist now but when I was a Christian, many years ago, I found that video looking for comedy on TH-cam and found it deeply offensive, because it was true but always thought it'd be better to use other approaches and choice words, but it's Comedy and Genius Georgy always went for the guts, so now it makes sense why he choose that way
"I thought it was gonna be something I can agree with immediately, not something that would make me think"... 🤦♂️
Right?! 🤣🤣🤣
I fucking died
The problem is most people raised Christian haven't actually read the whole bible, the making of the Bible and how it was used to justify things like slavery in the early days of America.
Exodus 21,Instructions on how to own another human being as property.And the best part is listening to them bend over backwards to try and justify it,Its laughable.
And Native Americans used what book to justify owning slaves? We know what book the Muslims use for the same purpose. The Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, Incas, Numidians and every civilisation/empire that ever existed practised slavery (btw some still do - apart from the Christians who, after the enlightenment, campaigned against and eventually abolished it!). No credit for that though...
stevejpm1 Slavery in the Bible is the prime example that Christians constantly engage in time scale moral relativism.

Kind of like a "Dad... should we really be laughing at this? Isn't it too immoral to be funny?" look.
I don't think they know that George Carlin was born and raised Catholic...
It is so fun watching religious people see the truth, but still denying it. Maybe someday they will open their eyes.
Prayer:
Carlin is showing that prayer works at the same rate as chance. Praying to Joe was metaphorical.
exactly lol
This video in a nutshell:
- George Carlin: *Making loads of sense*
- The girl: *being absolutely oblivious of anyone else's walk of life*
- The dad: "How do you do fellow kids?"

Sounds a bit like wishful thinking, my friend. You can't know that. :) I'm an atheist, but as we can see here in the comment section, people often don't loose bias, faith and wishful thinking, just because they got rid of religion.
Unfortunately there are a lot of atheists who behave just like the religious. Still a lack of rational arguments and objectivity. :>
Religion - People killing each other trying to decide who has the best imaginary friend.
"If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed."
That one registered with her.
It’s a shame people are believing all this nonsense. God gave people “Free Will” and with that there comes destruction. If God wanted everything to be “perfect” God would have to remove the free will aspect and all of us would be perfect robots. God gave us the choice to either believe or not to. Either to do drugs or not to. Either to murder someone or not to. It’s our choice.
@@Nebraska2927 Agreed. People really believe that nonsense you spouted.
@@Nebraska2927 if free will cant exist without evil then it follows that there is no free will in heaven, doesn't it? or do people believe there is evil in heaven?
im not trying to be a dick, I am actually curious
Flin Grin Flin Grin Well I would say evil was tolerated at one point in heaven. God did cast Satan and his angels from heaven. Also in 1 Kings 22:19-23 we read of an event happening and evil being tolerated. Revelation 12:5-10 talks about God purging the evil out of heaven. Revelation 21 talks about Heaven after the evil has been purged. Way I see it is there is still free-will, but the intent or desire of evil won’t be there like there was in 1 Kings 22:19-23. To give an example from a worldly perspective is this. For my experience being a Christian when I went to a Christian school or when I’m around Christian friends I can honestly say I never had any kind of desire to do evil or more generically to sin. The only free-will I desired was to do good. The way I see it is this... Yes evil was tolerated at one point in time in heaven. God basically cleaned things up by casting Satan and his angels out of heaven. Now yes there is still free will, but now purity around people the desire won’t be there to sin. Revelation 21:4 says there is no more pain, sorrow, or death.
@@Nebraska2927 wow, what a response! thanks =)
"Way I see it is there is still free-will, but the intent or desire of evil won’t be there like there was in 1 Kings 22:19-23." - doesnt this imply that we can have free will AND be free of evil?
I've watched this comedy act at least 30 times. It still hasn't gotten old. He makes more sense than anyone else I've ever heard. 😎

He makes more sense as society evolves.
to answer the question, "Who is praying for this stuff?"...…Christians.
We pray for all kind of stuff, things most people will consider trivial.
to believe in the religion he's talking about and have such an open mind to at least hearing what he has to say without dismissing it immediately is very impressive. good video, and the audio sounds great with headphones!

And Carlin wasn't "testing his faith": he was an Atheist who had no faith in religion.
He was making the point that it doesn't matter if you pray to anyone/anything or not: sometimes you'll get what you want and sometimes you won't. In that regard, prayer is completely useless.
As an agnostic, I distance myself from atheists. People who are convinced that god exists, don't like to be made a laughing stock of from people who basically rubbish religion. Sarcastic witty piss taking is not something a believer can associate with. Many atheists ridicule god squaders because logic and reality of life, over-ride fantasy figures. but if you rub people's noses in it, you'll never get them to think freely, they will only put their guard up, and turn on the ignorant light.
@@garthreid7114 I'm an Agnostic Atheist, not a pure Atheist, and was a Christian for 20 years of my life. I am respectful to Theists when they're respectful to me. Sadly, most (particularly Christians) are not and have a stereotype of who I am built into their heads (likely from their places of worship). It's only gotten worse over the years as being a "Loud Evangelical Christian" is all the more socially acceptable in rural America where I live in.

You have to understand the eternal purpose. Satan and Christ was in the garden Mankind chose Satan. Tree of life. Tree of knowledge of good and evil. Man messed everything up. Free will

@@JC-jo9bf The blind faith of government is much worse because people do not even realize that they have it and many more people die as a result of government than other religions. People do not recognize the occult symbolism behind government as religious, when in fact, it is. They do not see the black gowns of judges as a high priest's garb. They do not see the judges box as a podium which the God of government's words (law) are espoused to the sinners (defendents.) They do not see elections, inaugurations, addresses, etc. as religious rituals. They do not see the prison terms and executions for what they are: human sacrifice. They do not see the casualties of the foreign peoples whose countries we invade for what it is: human sacrifice. The human sacrifice that is proudly acknowledged is the sacrifice of the lives of the soldiers (soul-diers) we send to invade. As if going halfway across the world and crossing some fictional national border with the consent of a group of corrupt politicians whom profiteer from resources stolen from other people could make it morally correct and good to kill people and plunder their resources. That is the tragedy of the religion of government.
