George Carlin: “Religion Is Bullshit”

A friend of mine showed me this video of a George Carlin gig on YouTube. It was added back in March 2007, so apologies if you’ve seen it before, however I do think he raises some interesting (and comical) points about the absurdity of religion.

I have to admit, as an Englishman I have never watched George Carlin as a stand-up comedian, nor did I know that he was an atheist. I do like his approach to religion as a comedic device though, as he isn’t overly offensive, yet he manages to make a great mockery of Christian beliefs. It’s also nice to see an open-minded audience for once, who aren’t afraid to take it all as humour and not get offended (although there were probably people who were).

    I love it! I love it! I love it!
    I have been minorly worshipping the Sun for a while now (mostly asking for him to turn it down when I first get up – at noon), but I never thought to pray to Joe.
    That’s great!
