A friend of mine has asked me recently what I can say about George Carlin's views on religion.
I said its Very Funny!!! And Very True!!!
George Carlin is very correct (but I don't necesarily share his faith 100%). Actually what Carlin says pretty much is a digest of what the Vatican has been telling people the world over. I say the Vatican gave religion a bad name, a very bad name. The worse part is that the protestants have picked up many of the same lies perpetrated by the Vaticanists... thus we have a very "fucked up" view of religion, even of the bible.
I've walked through George Carlin's road of atheism before. I symphatize with him. I think his views and comments are fair and sincere and logical. I would even recommend his views as an intellectual challenge to all Catholics and Protestants. Having said that, however, let me just state my take; Carlin's conclusions are based on erroneous beliefs.
With his characteristic open-mindedness, I believe Carlin still gives the Bible the benefit of the doubt. I say he hasn't heard the last word on religion until he hears what brother Eli Soriano has to say on the matter. Everything Carlin was ever fed about religion are lies. Jesus has warned us about this as much when he said many will claim to speak on his behalf... Carlin's incisive views is just one more confirmation of Jesus' prophecy. Indeed, what Carlin is attacking, essentially, is not religion per se but false religion.
You see, God's message in the bible is not necessarily what the Pope says it is.
