I live in Louisiana and it’s great to see how many people here are completely against it. It’s a shocker in such a religious state, but it gives me hope going forward that people still use their heads.
Better than a stupid pride flag and some wackadoo talking to innocent children about extremely stupid topics like how to incorrectly use English and talk about feelings were all experiencing today....
Someone should send this clip to Guvnuh Jeffy the Christofascist Landry! As a resident of New Orleans, I'm completely disgusted that this ever made it out of the state legislature!
YES he was, unlike the royal blue corporate-suit jacketed hedge-fund-bunny Hillary who was (and still is) self-entitled, STUBBORN, delusional, SPOILED and elitist. God help this country. 7/09/2024
But if that happened, we'd be contradicting what George just stated... "keep religion to yourself". If they shouldn't impose on our beliefs then we shouldn't impose on theirs, right? 😆

@@thanksagain2767 The exact argument can be turned the other way around. As Carlin said, God is one of the leading causes of death, has been for thousands of years. Besides, those people killed in the name of God. The people you listed didn't kill in the name of atheism. It's not atheism that killed tens of millions, it was individual lunatics for whom the state was their religion.

The entire state of Louisiana needs to see this. I saw this when it was new. But it's more relevant now than ever. I'm starting to think this guy was a psychic that could see the future.
the yanks claim this guy as a national treasure but id like to go one further and say he was a world treasure, his material never goes out of date and is always relevant, he uses humour to highlight the ludicrousness of modern society and its "values" and always leaves u thinking, sorely missed
Everyone thinks that George Carlin was a stunt up comedian but he was a philosopher.. One of the greatest ever existed.. To me he changed my life and still guide's me
I was watching a video about suicide.And then I realized that Carlin was saying very serious things and people were laughing. Is it tragic, isn't it? To speak about the dark side of human nature and see your audience laughing instead of thinking.Very often I am pretty sure that the humanity will never have the gift of the real progress. I'm watching the other people and I wanna hide. Hide from all this stupidity and pain, hate and despair.You see, life is simple. We make it complicated. And this complexion leads to a dead end. God bless you all and apologize for the awful English.
Guys, HERE is Our TRUE Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic Scroll: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
And here we are, 12 years later, with the governor of Louisiana saying "So sue me" because he insists on putting the 10 commandments in classrooms, but can't be bothered to feed the hungry.
What made Carlin so perfect for the arguments he’d raise is that he always proved expertise in whatever subject he was arguing. Sure he never got an official degree in any of these, but he as someone who detests bullshit, showed how you can strip away any bullshit in complete real-time with genuine research and understanding. It’s kind of the complete opposite of any bullshit argument on any online comments section.
I’ve always stuck by this when coming to online comments: “Arguing online is like competing in the Special Olympics, even if you win…. You’re still retarded”!!
Carlin said, "More people have been killed in the name of God than any other reason." This is false. More people have been killed in the name of anti-God ideology--Communism, Marxism, Naziism, socialism, secularism--than for any other reason. Religions have been persecuted more in the past 100 years than at any other time in history. Equating institutional religion with violence and fanaticism is incorrect. Devastating cruelties and atrocities done by non-religious institutions in the 20th century should not be overlooked. Meanwhile, George Carlin, deceased, knows the absolute truth NOW, doesn't he?
@@divyansh3266 I dont want to have anything to do with controlling what other people think, believe, or do. Always been game for open discussions on religion, most of my friends would be described as agnostic or atheist. This and being a stay at home dad makes me kind of a black sheep in my church.
As a person from an entirely different part of the planet, I have to say George Carlin completely changed my thought process and so, changed my life, all for good. We need more of such comedians!
Oh my God I miss Carlin! I can just imagine what he'd have to say about today's world although he pretty much already said everything that needed to be said.
@Joseph Aumuller Aren't ideologies kind of religious beliefs in themselves? Just look at how those guys tried to pose as "gods" and how the propaganda machinery was working on full power.
The corrected sentence will be " There will be always people to be killed in the Name of Faith " and since I was fully capable into writing this sentence , as a human , using Words, I can only say " Thank you Word, for being The Word" if you want to make a fancy word, make it God, but it is actually the same word. Thus, I want to keep writing so I can actually say this crap to you online,, for a while, and yes , if I can't express myself in writing or using my voice, I consider a straight violation of my civil right and I will act accordingly. So, you don't have to actually call it, fancy, just write words, saying "Thank you" , that should do it. Or F**K ... would you not smash the head of some lemon heads, so you can keep writing ??! Don't answer, I know the answer, because you've al least thought about it, and that's enough to explain the : God Complex. Quite easy to understand even for a small minded human !
Did you ever hear his monologue about STUFF? He has three versions. G, PG and R. Only one word changes between the three versions. It's the word used to describe other people's stuff. G=Junk. PG=CRAP. R=Shit. The version depends on the audience. 😅😅😅
@@TerryBucannon The great comedians take everyday situations and just exaggerate them, slightly twist them, or ,like Carlin, point out the hypocrisy and warped logic of people. twist it. His monologue on stuff is accurate, he just exaggerates it.
Bullshit how do you know what the truth is if you believe George Carline. Jesus said I am the TRUTH the light and the way no man NO MAN come onto the father (GOD) but through me the is the TRUTH And The ONLY TRUTH there is I go with Christ who got paid nothing for his teaching over someone who got paid for making you laugh with his lies! So have a nice time in hell you heathen!
@@inspire4179 If you think about it, *someone* has to come up with the biggest load of BS you've ever heard. Regardless if how big it is. And only one group/person can do it, otherwise it's the biggest and second-biggest, etc.
Scott Stensland Not really. Unlike many religious people (*Idk if you are, but that's beside the point; for this is an ineffective argument*), I don't feel the constant urge to profess my nonbelief. Many religious people (*since I'm American, the religious people I'm talking about are mainly fundamentalist Christians*) feel the need to make attempts at forcing their beliefs unto those who don't have the same beliefs; for example, by placing nativity scenes in front of capitol buildings and trying to make students in *_public_* schools have a specific time each day for (*Christian*) prayer, when many of the Americans who walk by the capitol buildings and many of the students in public schools are non-Christians. When we speak out about our nonbelief, it is almost always in response to an unprovoked incident involving fundamentalist Christians (*at least here, in America*). Hilariously enough, these same people (*conservative Christians*) would be outraged if they saw an Islamic crescent in front of any public building or if their children had to lay out a carpet, face the east, get on their knees, and recite Muslim prayers. Why? Because it's not their religion! Case in point, I'm saying that you can believe whatever you want; just keep it to yourself (*even Jesus said to pray in private because those who flaunt their faith at everyone else are hypocrites*), have a nativity scene or cross (*obviously, cross necklaces don't bother me or any other atheist at all, either*) on your *PRIVATE property*, don't force your beliefs unto those who don't hold your beliefs, and especially don't tell those same people that they're going to burn forever unless, of course, they convert to *YOUR* religion; basically, if the fundamentalist Christians would stop trying to constantly impose their beliefs on everyone else, constant logical, fact-based rebuttals from us would not be required. Have a nice day.

I had a friend that explained that “Thou Shalt Not Kill” was actually “Thou shalt not kill unjustly.” Of course what was deemed unjust was very open to interpretation.
A biblical scholar once said that the literal translation was "Thu shalt do no murder" - not quite the same meaning as simply "kill". Also said that the phrase about it being easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle was a mistranslation of kamelos, which meant not "camel," but "rope" in the ancient Greek, not that it made any difference to the point being made.
The whole book is one big "interpretation" for the benefit of organized Christian religions..., that came to power by eradicating all 'other beliefs' that dared to think/view the world differently ...whom accured too much power, are corrupt and used for nothing more than manipulation and control.... it's the biggest con in mankinds history and continues to be.
@@sueladybird6923 please tell me how following the ten commandments and Jesus is keeping someone down? the things this hack comedian is saying is just his opinions, and most of what he is saying is absolute garbage.
George Carlin is not a comedian. He is a philosopher and people watcher who happens to make observations that make other people laugh. He doesn't tell jokes, he tells people what he see's in the world......and it's so absurd it makes people laugh. Even though I've never heard George Carlin tell a lie.
Believe it or not, my mother took me to see him perform in the Poconos, PA when I was 12 years old (1993). It was a small resort venue called Fernwood Resorts. To this day it was the most amazing experience of my life and I will never forget it
I won't get tired of watching this video over and over again. It makes sense come to think of it. Instill fear on people with little knowledge about life.
I was lucky enough to see him work out this routine at the Comedy Store in Los Angeles before he taped the HBO special. As he shared it and the audience roared with laughter, Carlin looked genuinely touched that the audience would like this. So I was not surprised when it appeared in the next special. God, I miss him. Hope everyone saw the HBO documentary on him.
I’ve never heard it broken down like this but I love it! I’ve said for years that organized religion is more about crowd control than actually “saving” anyone.
It's about control and always has been. And politics. Constantine who was emperor of the Roman empire was a life long pagan, an earth religion that had nothing to do with Satanism, recognized that Christianity was a growing force and supposedly converted at the end of his life. He had to maintain control of the masses. It's interesting that things like Sunday were taken from the day pagans honored the sun, even Christmas was their yearly celebration for the sun. The Council of Nicea decided what would be included in the Bible but it would be even more interesting to see what wasn't and why. Most people couldn't read so they had to rely on the priests. Even when they started to learn it was still in Latin. How many people even now still rely on their leader to tell them instead of reading or thinking for themselves. Those who question can be ostracized. Ever see the old pastor of the Westborough Baptist church videos re Carlin? He swore Carlin would be roasting in Hell and yet the pastor was the most hateful judgemental example of the exact opposite of the teachings of Jesus in recent times. George Carlin was actually operating from a concept of love. Go figure 😱🤣😊❤
“religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. it is the opium of the people.”. -karl marx
If you miss out on heaven and end up in hell when all you had to do to start is to believe on Jesus. Carlin was a church dropout. Funny but in truth sad.
Everytime.he was brilliant. I wished I would have known about him 25 yrs ago., no way would I have joined the Christian religion nor any religion. I lost my identity, my free spirit, and my money. I finally seen through their b/s, money grabbing soul snatchers by actually studying the Greek and compared it to what the ragging wolves, false prophets were teaching us
everyday one is being sold to- some believe it is a internal journey, some believe it is a external journey, be a shit head your whole life, then get down on your knees....then some, don't believe at all, or some believe god is a women, which makes more sense, up to this point Women are the ones to bring Humanity to the planet. God and Man (masculine), man was created in the image of god, so god likes war?...god help me--as the soldier plunges the sword deep into the soul of humanity. god and Man has been the biggest reason for war, pestilence and destruction. Mmmm god?
@@Jerichocafe1 do you have the stats to back that up? Last I read, religion - not God - religion was responsible for about 7% of wars. And blaming man? Is this toxic feminity coming across the aether?
@@Jerichocafe1 Religion? Buddhism is a religion. Has all the trappings - traditions, monks, temples, priests. No gods though. Religion without God is tradition, legalism and dead.

We saw George about 6 months maybe before he died. His new material was a huge hit. Can’t imagine what he would come up with today! Wish he was still here
"thou shall try REAL hard not to kill anyone...unless ofcourse they pray to a different invisible man from the one you pray to" What a fucking legend. Rest in peace George
There is no peace for GC in hell. Or maybe you believe that everyone will be allowed to get into heaven. JESUS said that no one will get through that narrow door unless they repent and declare that JESUS is the only way! The way, the truth, and the life is only through the sacrifice of JESUS on the preparation day for the Passover [John 19:14 ] and not on Good Friday
Erudite comedy that always pushed boundaries while being ridiculously funny will always remember the laughs always remember you had to think to get the joke sometimes miss you George
One common theme I've noticed from what I personally consider the best comedians of all time is thier usage and understanding of language. Carlin and Chappelle (my personal top 2) have such a deep understanding and command of language that they can make people laugh while still conveying an incredible message.
I can listen to him for hours and hours. So much logic. So much comedy. George would have been a great President. Well maybe not. A legend gone far too soon.
As a 60 year old 'geezer' who thought at 18 I was gunna be a Priest, I struggled with the 'top 10' list. I through out years came up with my 2 Rules of life. 1. Love God who or what ever he-she-it is. 2. Love one another. I dunno. I'm a simple guy. Simple simple simple. Keep life simple.
Hi Mike, I agree - but please don't you take credit for it - check out Matthew 22:37 in the bible where the powers that be wanted to trip Jesus up by asking him which commandmant was the greatest and Jesus replied, "Love God with all your heart, soul and mind and the second is like it, love your neighbor as yourself." Jesus then said all the law and prophets were hung on these two commandments. Whether or not one believes in a historical or mythological Jesus - what was called "the Golden Rule", i. e. treating others as you would want to be treated - makes sense. Oh, and I'm a 70 year old agnostic crone.
Yes that is exactly right and it is exactly what Jesus taught. And these two commandments come straight from God and have been given by God to Moses. Jesus just taught that these two commandments to love God the creator of all creation with all your heart with all your soul with all your strength and with with all your mind and to love your next one in the same way as you love yourself are the most important of all rules that God gave to Moses which are altogether more than 600 rules including the 10 commandments. But there's something very important about this: Jesus sacrificed himself for this truth so that we may be at peace about the fate of our soul. Because all we have to believe is that he sacrificed himself for this message that the only commandment that we HAVE TO keep beyond the likes and the dislikes that gives immunity against any kind of evil is that we love one another by reminding ourselves that Jesus loved anyone unconditionally in the name of the heavenly father on behalf of the heavenly father representing the heavenly father. So Jesus taught: I give you but one commandment and the world will recognize that you belong to me and therefore to the heavenly father if you keep my words in your heart by reminding yourself that I will sacrifice my life to you to all of you that believe in me and it is these words: Love one another as I have loved you that the world may see that you don't belong to this evil world but to me. Therefore whatever you do whatever you pray for always use my holy name and God will help you out. I Jesus will ask the heavenly father that he will help you in my name because (after my death) I will go to the heavenly father directly because that is what God planned how your soul will be saved from all evil. That is why the apostle Paul taught that the reason for the ten commandments were just to create in anyone that committed himself or herself to obey them a consciousness that we are sinners because noone really has the strength to keep the 10 commandments. The moment someone starts to think that he or she can keep the 10 commandments one makes the biggest mistake a human can do: to think that one is better than anyone else. That's why God in his wisdom demanded a proof from the committed believers that one is conscious about the fact that we are sinners by our very nature (that is we're born with sin and the tendency to sin is in our blood or in our genes). The symbol of this consciousness was an innocent lamb. In a ceremony that God demanded to be done the jews transferred symbolically their sins to an innocent lamb. So the innocent lamb now because of this ceremony was now polluted with sins and therefore the priest's duty was it to kill the lamb and gather the blood of the lamb whose blood got polluted during this ceremony with the sins of the humans in a vessel. The priest now splashed the blood unto the horns of the altar and thus the altar in the course of a year got polluted symbollically with the sins of the humans. That's why once a year this altar got cleansed in a ceremony and God forgave anyone that admitted their sins before God on that day: the day is called Yom Kippur and is the day of reconciliation. However the apostle Paul taught that this ceremony was useless because God forgave the sins just symbolically and not for real. That is why it was predicted that God will send a real lamb in form of a saviour that will be killed for real and those that believe in this real lamb for those the sins will be forgiven once and for all. And Jesus pointed out very clearly that he's the lamb that will be sacrificed on behalf of all for the sins of any humans and anyone that believes in him is saved. So that is the connection between the ten commandments and the one commandment of Jesus. The ten commandments is called the old covenant between God and humans. The belief and trust in Jesus and in his teachings and in the word he taught by letting him (Jesus) in our hearts and loving him and remembering the last supper by drinking wine symbolically for the blood that Jesus shed for the forgiveness of sins and eating bread symbolically for his body that got crushed for the forgiveness of sins by remembering the most important of commandments that Jesus gave: that we should love one another as Jesus has loved us is called the new covenant. Thus according to the apostle Paul: The old covenant: • Staying in the consciousness that we're sinners (anyone, and noone is better or worse than another) by trying to keep the ten commandments. • Sins are not forgiven, just symbolically on the day of reconciliation: Yom Kippur New covenant: • believing that Jesus forgave anyone his and her sins and that God gave Jesus full authority to forgive sins by giving up his life out of love. • real forgiveness of sins • staying in Jesus = believing in the words he said = obeying his words = letting Jesus in our hearts = believing that Jesus is in the father and the father is in him = accepting Jesus as the saviour and shepherd = becoming a child of God through faith = getting saved = being commanded to follow Jesus by being willing to spread the gospel the message of love to anyone that seeks God and to those that God sends us to selflessly and with the willingness to face the resistence of the evil world and getting hate for doing so. • old covenant: Concentration on sins and growing a consciousness and awareness for our sins before Jesus was born to enlarge the need and longing for salvation and to prepare the souls to recognize God's unconditional love in and through Jesus when meeting Jesus. • new covenant: Believing in God's freely given grace and mercy, in the forgiveness of sins, in unconditional love demonstrated by Jesus deliberate sacrifice on the cross to demonstrate God's love to anyone that believes in Jesus.
Damn as you get older you start to view what Carlin says with more serious thought and the while jokes are still funny, there's way more layers of truth behind it.
Started to discover this guy on social media about a year ago. I consider myself extremely unlucky I never got to see him in a live show. Funny and talks sense. I would put him on the same par as Ricky Gervais for being fearless and topical.
Always loved Carlin. One of the great modern philosophers. The one thing I find quite special about this bit is the inverse correlation to the story of Jesus, who being asked what the greatest commandment was responded "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets" These combined are referred to as the greatest commandment and essentially mean the same thing. We are commanded to love. To love God (the holy sprit, the part of us that part of everything else, connection with all that is, was, and will be), and to love each other as self. I didn't have any substantial depth of knowledge about Christianity before Carlin passed. But about 6 years ago I engaged it for philosophical study and comparison and instead found spiritual truth. Impossible to explain in a comment thread. There is more to the story than is immediately obvious and I'd guess most people who open thier Bible interpret it wrong. I'm not claiming to know the right way. But I think if we can align with the spirit of the greatest commandment. We'll be alright
"being asked what the greatest commandment was responded "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and first commandment." A better commandment would have been "All people regardless of race or gender are equal".
When I hear George Carlin I feel so small. He was a genius. But then I realize how he lifts me. Maybe I'm not so small. Maybe I can do something good to help.
Funny ?? Too bad our country has to follow entertainers & the like , who are impressing the use of drugs to become famous ! This America is falling down because of the blatant recommendations of drug use by celebrities , government politicians , doctors , & military ! This a warning , we are passed the crossroads of anhelation SERIOUSLY !
I hope they get it mandated . George Carlin knows nothing when it comes to truth about God . I’d bet my money George Carlin is in Hell as a lost soul . Jump and shout all you want , it’s foolish to make believe you know something you don’t
