George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce... All in the hereafter now.
You gotta wonder, if there is an afterlife, and if all those uptight believers who hated these guys wind up there, are they telling God to stop laughing?

1. Don't forget Bill Hicks in that group!
And I think you're right - God's laughing with 'em, telling the uptight Christian types to loosen their underwear a few notches.

4. I don't know.
Hicks had his place, but I wouldn't put him on Pryor's or Carlin's level. But that's just me, I think Hicks was overrated. I guess that's a minority opinion.

2. Carlin didn't believe in a hereafter
He was pretty clear on that point.
