What do you all think of this George Carlin quote?

Question

"When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there's an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever 'til the end of time!

But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money!"

thoughts? opinions?

and remember guys, however you feel about the quote, keep your tempers please :)

Answer 1

George Carlin, defiinitely, made you think.

Answer 2

i actually laughed and im a religious person XD

so much for being a "good Christian" i suppose haha

its interesting peoples different takes on religion

keeps me thinking :)

Answer 3

It's an interesting atheistic opinion... I have to say he is kind of right.  The man is funny... but I like his other stuff better!  And I'm Christian!

It's sad; the history of Christianity really hasn't helped us look very good, that sucks!  I feel its almost as bad as a black person blaming me personally for slavery back in the early days of America... having atheists blame me for being a money-grubbing, senseless, stupid belief system.

But at the same time, I don't think his opinion will change mine.  As mine won't change any other atheist either... we just can't make any ground on either side, can we?

Answer 4

I think I have heard it a million times before, and this same question has been asked a million times as well.. what else is left to think about it?

Answer 5

George Carlin was a very funny man.

That doesn't mean I agree with him.

I am a Christian but I have a sense of Humor

However, God will not be mocked
