The conversation between George Carlin and God must have been something special.

[Renew Deal]

I would have loved to have witnessed the conversation between Carlin and God. I hope they both got a good laugh out of Carlin’s behavior on this earth. I could see Carlin’s sheepish apology. Must have been something special.

[Bolo Boffin]

1. God should have apologized first. n/t

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

3. Second

[polichick]

2. What would he apologize for?

[Renew Deal]

6. Dogma, amongst other things

Great movie BTW

[polichick]

14. I'd think an intelligent and evolved God would love it.

[Renew Deal]

16. I agree

It was a brilliant movie.

[Radical Activist]

36. Nah

The Catholic church Carlin satirized has a lot of things to apologize to God for first.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

4. It probably wasn't nearly as exciting...

as his conversation with Santa Claus and the Loch Ness Monster.

[Lyric]

11. ...

:spray:

:rofl:

[ComtesseDeSpair]

5. What a ridiculous comment.

The conversation between Carlin and "God" only exists in the imagination of the delusional.

[evlbstrd]

7. He wasn't a believer.

[Renew Deal]

8. He didn't need to be.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

9. Shiva doesn't mind.

[evlbstrd]

15. So "who" did he meet?

[kineneb]

46. Ra, sun god

why not, since life on earth is dependant on the sun...

[Lyric]

If there's a God, then Carlin had no reason to apologize.

Just like if I die and meet a God, I won't be the least bit apologetic for not believing while I was alive. There's absolutely no evidence in favor of a God, and I was born with a brain to rationalize. Why would I choose to believe in something that there's no evidence for? It's not like God's speaking from the skies, burning bushes, or making the sun stand still much these days. How coincidental that God was kind enough to provide "proof" to primitive people thousands of years ago, but can't be bothered to show himself now that humankind has means of testing and recording.

No, Carlin has nothing to apologize for. If anything, God owes HIM an apology.

[Ichingcarpenter]

10. "I could see Carlin’s sheepish apology"

Well, aren't you special?

[Arugula Latte]

12. So he met the non-existent invisible man who needs money? Cool!

"Religion -- easily has the best bullshit story of all time. Think about it. Religion has 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 list of ten specific things he doesn't want you to do. And if you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place, of burning and fire and smoke and torture and anguish for you to live forever, and suffer, and burn, and scream, until the end of time. But he loves you. He loves you. He loves you and he needs money."

[Subdivisions]

17. He made me embarrassed to masturbate. Now you're telling

me I could've been masturbating the whole time!

x(

[Ghost in the Machine]

13. Did God start existing just because George Carlin died??

Where is the *proof* that this "God" exists?

[JackRiddler]

26. The religionist's ultimate gotcha.

You're dead! Now you'll find out! Ha ha!

[Ghost in the Machine]

28. Ever wonder why no dead relatives ever contact their loved ones to tell them

how great God, Jesus and Heaven are??

:hi:

[Rainbowreflect]

29. So you are calling everyone who has had that experience a liar?

Just because something has not happened to you does not mean it is not real.

[Ghost in the Machine]

30. I've never heard of *anyone* saying it....

got a link?

[Rainbowreflect]

31. I'm sure you could find cases on line, but I was talking about

people who have shared their experiences with me as well as my own personal experiences.

[Ghost in the Machine]

37. Well, if you've had those experiences, I think that's great!

I've never heard of anyone saying this, myself. For the record, I believe in ghosts & spirits, but other people call us *crazy* when we speak of them...

:hi:

[Rainbowreflect]

38. I have been called crazy more than once when sharing my experiences.

I know I don't have all the answers, hell I don't even know most of the questions, I just know there is more than what we can experience with our five senses. :hi:

[bmbmd]

44. Here you go.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Piper

[Ghost in the Machine]

45. I guess you can't read the whole story unless you buy the book, huh?

Imagine that!

Seems like a "man of God" would want to share that story with *everyone*... free of charge...


Of course, the bigger picture here is the fact that no one can dispute his story. The only *fact* that we have is that he was declared "clinically dead" and came back to life. That's really nothing special, I've been declared dead before, too.... but I don't remember anything about it. Wonder if I can make up a wild story and sell a book?

Thanks for the link, though.. I found it interesting....


PEACE!

18. Rofl...

If Mr. Carlin was still alive he would smack you for starting this stupid thread :rofl:

[Javaman]

25. Game. Set. Match. LOL nt

[Mythsaje]

19. What? For not showing up with some cash on hand?

The Christian God is a nonsensical concept, a fact George Carlin saw all too clearly. A "God of love" who acted like a psychopath throughout the Old Testament, and made up for it by arranging the sacrificial death of his own son. A creature that condoned slavery and xenophobia...nay, encouraged them. That so loves his creation that he condemns all non-believers to eternal suffering? So neurotic that, though omnipotent and omniscient, he requires worship?

Hah!

Fuck that noise.

[Forkboy]

39. George would have loved that answer!

I know I did. :)

[Mythsaje]

42. I can only hope so...

Dog bless us, one and all.

;)

[eShirl]

20. puppeteering his corpse, are we?

"I could see Carlin’s sheepish apology."

[cobalt1999]

21. If there was a god, Carlin would tell him what he said here on Earth

God, you're either incompetent or you just don't give a shit!

[polichick]

23. But I think God would say, " Well done George; you did exactly...

...what you set out to do."

[YOY]

22. So you know for a fact that God exists?

Wow. You've got the rest of humanity beat!

[Cleita]

33. Do you know for a fact that She doesn't?

:evilgrin:

[YOY]

41. No, that's why I'm an agnostic!

n/t

[Kutjara]

48. I don't know for a fact there isn't...

...a Tastee Freez in orbit around Proxima Centauri, either, but I'm not about to base my worldview on it being there.

[AlCzervik]

24. "Sheepish apology"? Are you referring to another George Carlin?

and he has nothing to apologize for.

[JackRiddler]

27. Carlin on language - delivers his own obituary.

Priceless.

[rAVES]

32. Awful thread.

[KathieG]

34. I'm sure spam emails about a deathbed conversion will start circulating shortly..

never fails :eyes:

George made his views on religion/god quite clear, and I was right there with him! RIP George.

[Cleita]

35. I'd like to believe that a part of him lives on

and that he's someplace better, without heart problems, enjoying a celestial beer with those who have gone before him sharing stories and quips.

[bdamomma]

40. I bet George is having a very heart to heart with him right now.

[Cassius23]

43. I could see that conversation...

God- "Duuuddeee"
GC- "You have to be kidding me. Jerry?"
God- "Nahhh, I'm God. Trippy, eh? Wanna hit this?"


Guy in the sky, white beard, kindof inattentive?

[ebdarcy]

47. You're kidding, right?

There was no fucking conversation between George Carlin and "God". And furthermore, George Carlin had no need to apologize to anyone.

[dflprincess]

49. Voltaire: “God is a comedian, playing to an audience too afraid to laugh."

I'm thinking that God probably enjoyed Carlin.
