    THIS is one of the few people on this planet that EVER spoke the Total truth. I just wish that more people would sit up and take notes. just as he did. R.I.P. George, you are loved and missed.

    RIP Carlin. Legit philosopher right there at least IMO. A man who had the unique gift to see the world how it really is and tell us about it and make us laugh. Underneath it all you cant blame him for being cynical. Who wouldn't be when you are so in tune with the weaknesses of the human psyche.

    What a genius. The greatest of all time. The planet is fine. The people are fucked. What an inspirational quote that is. It puts things in such an uplifting perspective. To know this is all just one big freak show. People always trying to find reason for things. Reasons to kill, to be greedy. Some people do it in the name of God. But to George, everything just is, and so are we, for a little while. RIP to the greatest.

    My hero...I try to be optimistic about my life and the world around me, but it's clear that we are headed for self-destruction, and there's not enough people out there who can save us. Most people are too oblivious to realize it's happening because they are too distracted by gadgets, entertainment, and pro sports. I hope I live long enough to see how we all go. My one regret in life is not seeing this great man in person. If there is a Hell, I hope I can finally meet you, George.

I'm just appart now, I'm separate, I'm over here because I put myself out of the mix, I don't have a stake on the outcome, I'm not a cheerleader for a given outcome"

    @dbossmx 12 лет назад +36

    Speaking as a early 30's angostic/atheist I have attempted this tactic multiple times in my life. I can say I have searched high and low for god and at least for me he has never appeared. Given my current understanding of things Im starting to believe I am not meant to be chosen to recieve god's love. Which is why Im such a huge fan of George Carlin. Wherever he is now is where I want to be.

    The next step in the evolution of the dominate species on Earth... The top three contenders.
    Cockroaches. (odds on favorites) They'll eat anything and are REALLY hard to kill. They been around for 350 million years and are getting larger.
    Rats. They always find a way to survive, also will eat anything and history shows ya can't count out mammals.
    Jellyfish. (A surprise challenger) Turns out they like plastic and are thriving when other marine life is being killed by it.

  • @anistonlover08
    @anistonlover08 12 лет назад +14

    First off I am a firm believer in God. One of the biggest reasons why so many people hate Christians is bc they try to shove religion down non believers' throats. If Mr. Carlin (R.I.P) did not believe in God, then that was his decision. Some of my close friends are atheists/agnostics and I love them to death. All I can do is show love to them. I love George Carlin's stand ups, and his face should be the first sculpted on the Mount Rushmore of comedians! I'd rather laugh than fight honestly.

  • @AnalogWheels
    @AnalogWheels 11 лет назад +30

    Wow. I wish I could've met this guy. I see so many similarities in his thoughts to mine that it's comforting. Comforting to know that there are others out there that feel the same, or close to the same as me. His gift was to lay it out in a way that made you laugh, which is all you should really do.

  • @premanesbit
    @premanesbit 10 лет назад +7

    George understood God well that he does't have anything to do with what we made up. "God of Peace is very quiet because there is no conflict in Him". When George points out that "there is not Go", he means that there is only God of Love and not the one who is constantly watching you and punishing you. The world is as close to "hell" as we can get, but it is our own personal nightmare we made up and therefore we ourselves have a power to believe that it is real. We need to let it go because it is powerless, only fed by our own beliefs that are unloving and are hurting us for a while until we have enough and change our way of thinking.

  • @Dolemaneil
    @Dolemaneil 10 лет назад +9

    If all the people who hold significant power in our world today were to watch this, and fail to reach any sort of understanding or accord (which is most likely the case), then we truly are fucked. How can the urgency of our species' mortality be iterated any more concisely than this. George you're the shit, also I'm baked out of my mind

  • @Cypherus21
    @Cypherus21 12 лет назад +1

    Instead of atheists debating about existentialism, nihilism, theism, agnosticism , why don't you just go to the source and sincerely ask God if he exists? Everyone has a natural interest in God, even atheists, so it's not unnatural to just ask the question. You may not be struck by lightning or a man with a red cape will not show - but the answer can be just a humble and warm feeling in your heart that you know, that you know, that you know.

    your answer to these questions are just as valid as George's. Maybe i'm being too pessimistic (like George) but I really don't think any amount of optimism is going to change the fact that the human race's years on this planet are numbered.

    1:58 to 2:02 so true the gesture of bidding alone is a gesture of closure we dont only see in christianity but also in islam and the jewish belief.
    you dont see this gesture in polytheistic believes (or should i say visitor-worshippers).
    they always open their arms to receive/learn.
    most important most polytheist are anything but materialistic and egoistic.
    i did not come up with this. my budhist girlfriend did.
    i myself follow the learnings of the Asatrú.

    I Dont believe in Religion, But i do have a relationship with GOD. one mistake George made was confusing God with Man Made religion. God is Divine, you dont have to see to believe, but as humans, we always need physical proof. sight, sound, smell, touch and taste. But as spiritual beings, We can see the world as a whole.

  • @epiphonelespaul4
    @epiphonelespaul4 12 лет назад +2

    I have no problem whatsoever with people that believe in a god, they can believe what they want as long as they keep it to them selves, but I do however have a problem with religion, religion has separated us humans and is holding us back as a species, and I am not a big fan of gangs or groups, like how bikie's have to be members of big groups to feel strong when really, they are weak people, just the same as people who are in big groups to feel like there life is meaningful.
