The Sad Misguided Life of George Carlin. He was NOT a genius, and NOT a hero.

You've already admitted you're fine living under atheist rules. You won't be fine with it when they fully take over.
I'm absolutely fine living under a secular government that guarantees my right to worship as I please and that does not restrict my freedoms and choices according to a singular interpretation of religion. I would not be fine even under a Jewish theocracy.

And one more time to try and help your comprehension: Secular =/= atheist. And atheism is NOT a religion.
 
Would you hire a drunk living over a grate downtown to be your life coach? Absurd notion, isn’t it?

Well, if you read the comments of thousands of his fans on George Carlin’s online videos, people appear willing to do just that. His most popular appearance videos; the one against religion and the one pushing abortion drew heaping praise from hundreds of troubled commenters

Carlin is a big hit with the atheists due to his smug profane stand up routine against religion. They praise his life “wisdom” and “intelligence”. It's reminiscent of the bad kids in elementary school who seemed popular, the ones with the ugly sophistication who knew more about sex than they should have.

His other big routine was the one pushing abortion from his album “Back in Town”. It was pure evil venom. That routine was where the left got most of its now-trite talking points on abortion:

  • pro-life women are too ugly to have sex with
  • anti-abortion people are not pro-life; they’re pro-birth because they won’t make kids wards of the state.
  • Pro-life people kill abortion doctors
  • Pro-life people are hate women.
All these talking points came from Carlin in 1996. Prior to that, you never heard them. So much for leftwingers’ originality.

Early in his career, Carlin went for clean comedy. But then he made a pact with Satan, and started on the dark but lucrative road of going after filth and the seamy side of humanity. He made millions from the emotionally troubled people who reveled in his snark against everything decent. Sort of the way Hugh Hefner made millions from leading men to hell through porn. Or the way heavy-metal bands led unstable youth to drug use. Carlin found victims and exploited them for fame and fortune. The easiest money you can make.

The fact is, Carlin’s life was a trainwreck, starting from an early age. He abandoned the Catholic religion he was brought up in, and his life spun out of control. He was a troublemaker in school, having been expelled at age 15, and then court-martialed three times in his time in the Air Force.

He spent most of his adult life addicted to drugs and alcohol. At age 67, a time when most people have things figured out, Carlin had to go to a rehab center for the umpteenth time. His substance abuse exacerbated his health. He’d had three heart attacks before the one that killed him at the age of 71.

Ironically, the atheist left celebrates the worst people, and tries to destroy the great people. Carlin is treated as a folk hero by the left. He wasn't a hero. He was a sad sick misguided man who damaged his own child’s upbringing. He was a leading force in the degradation of society from the 1970s on, pushing indecency and filth. He wasn’t brilliant. He didn’t give sound advice. His schtick just appealed to weak people. Hopefully Carlin repented on his deathbed and saved his soul. Though we cannot really know the state of his mind nor the effects of events on his sanity, one might imagine he had much to answer for upon his death. But let it be a cautionary tale for the living. Care what happens to other people.





Carlin hung around college campuses He had a revolving door of new untrained kinds to play with

I never considered him great or even funny. But WHAT THAT HAS TO DE WITH POLITICS AND IDEOLOGY

Thank you.

Sure. You're fine living under atheist rule for now. But how do you think they'll treat your Jew ass once they take total control?

Carlin pushed atheism, and that has EVERYTHING to do with leftwing politics. See, atheism now involves the whole leftwing agenda
 
You're welcome. No problem. Sorry if I came on a bit strong, but sometimes it's necessary.

I was thanking AsherN for his comment that "Secular =/= atheist. And atheism is NOT a religion."

And reiterating that we live under a gov't that protects all religions and does not follow any.

The Supreme Court disagrees. They ruled atheism a religion. Government pushes atheism. I thank GOD for the handful of brave Catholics on the Supreme Court standing up for virtue. They're the only ones standing in the way of the Marxists trying to take over America.

Carlin pushed humor. He mocked the ridiculousness of many things.

If you are so offended, he must have struck a nerve.

I just worry about his effect on people with already poor judgment. LIke those who set out a bowl of condoms for preteens.
 
Our gov't is secular. It is not atheist. They are not the same thing.
It is and I've proven it. Do not repost disproven statements again. That's how you earn iggy.
Guys, it looks like I've won this debate. Now I have stuff to do this afternoon.

No, you have no proven any such thing.

Secular gov't protects every religious belief. Atheist gov't does not.

Our gov't is not allowed to favor any single religion. They are simply following that constitutional restriction. Our gov't does not deny the existence of any God or God(s).

Christianity isn't protected by our atheist government. Ask the Christian baker, organist, florist, or photographer who are prosecuted for following the atheist laws.

There are laws that prevent discrimination. The idea that baking a cake means you approve of the event is ridiculous.

If I buy a cake to celebrate my relationship with my girlfriend, the baker is not approving of our living together without being married. They are baking a cake for money.

And isn't the love of money the root of all evil?

And yes, Christianity is protected by our secular gov't. No one stops you from worshipping as you choose.

It means you are participating in or enabling the event. Christian prefer not to do that. They shouldn't be prosecuted. Doing so is the government forcing an atheist agenda.
There is no ceremony for you and your live-in. The cake baker isn't being asked to advertise cohabitation as he is when asked to put two male figures on a cake for a gay wedding.
