George Carlin: There is no god

I am sure many of you have heard this. Slightly older routine from our pal George. One of the most upfront assaults on belief in the sky daddy by any stand-up comic ever.
Listen to it here (11 minutes). Read it here.
I always try to imagine the horrified expressions on some of the audience members’ faces whenever I hear this.

Gotta love Carlin. Besides Penn and Teller, there’s not too many celebrities out there actively going after religion in any meaningful way. Thanks for the clip – always makes me laugh! Joe bless you!

His last HBO special was fairly weak, but nothing beats classic Carlin.

Wish I could have gone to college, or even gotten away from being financially dependent on the pedophile who impregnated me at 15, but none of that matters now. My kid, despite his deformities due to my teenage drug addiction, is beautiful in his own way. I have to street-hook once in a while to pay for his special schooling… And the man we are forced to live with beats me a few times a month, but I thank gawd every day for the life of my boy. He is the only shred of hope I have in a world of almost pitch darkness. Joe bless you.” [...]
