You know, I find it funny that Atheists attempt to dumb-down Christianity and assume that’s all there is to it. For instance, I could say, “evolution is the belief that a fish learned to breathe air, became a lizard, turned into a monkey, and then became an intelligent human being,” but you know that’s not true. There’s much more to it than that. There’s also much more to Christianity, but Atheists don’t care. They just want to piss us off and make us look like idiots. Well, just for now, I’ll point out a few flaws and be done with it.

1. God is not a man. To me, God is an entirely different being.
2. The sky? Come on, now. We know he isn’t in the sky. By saying that, you’re basically saying we could fly to God if we wanted to, and we all know that isn’t the case. If you asked me, I would say he resides in a different level of reality.
3. The “list of ten things” actually helps you through life and avoid conflict if you obey it. If everyone obeyed those “ten things”, we would live in a utopia.
4. According to the Bible, (with the exclusion of Jesus,) there will never be any person who doesn’t disobey at least one commandment. Is George Carlin saying God would send us all to hell if we make one mistake?
5. I’m going to be realistic here. If I made you, gave you a world to live in, and provided you with all the pleasures of life, I would expect you to obey me. If you then decided to insult me, mock my followers and attempt to disprove my existence, I wouldn’t care if you suffered. But that’s just me. Maybe I’m just weird.

Because that sounds like something a completely rational human would say…Yeah.

There are intricacies to both sides, granted- But the picture up there pretty much sums it up.

Your god is an angry, wrathful god that Smites homosexuals and tells fathers to kill their children to prove the love they hold for said god. Your god sounds just like a cult leader to me.

I am not going to argue religion or attack you, but I will say we, the Atheists are not the ones attempting to make you look retarded. Going door to door, essentially forcing your way into peoples homes and work places, constantly spouting religious drivel, Always saying how wonderful god is when the sun us shining and how he works in mysterious ways when your brother gets hit by a train is what makes you look retarded. We simply point out glaring shortfalls and the completely impossible things that you base your life on. You are angry at yourself for believing it, then being proven wrong, not at us for pointing the finger.

All in all though, I do agree with the other guy. Carlin was a mastermind before he went all angry and brooding. The skit about what we could do with all the criminals was amazing. I say we use another square state for all the devout religious, where they can manufacturer their pamphlets in peace. I for one am tired of hearing stories oh how a group of young men doing "God's work" beat a homosexual into a coma.

I prefer the logic that if there is a God he would be pulling his hair out at the sight of such insignificant rantings and petty arguments. There is in my mind only one real reason that God would create a universe; to share what he has with us. What that is, we obviously have yet to find it. But it is more important to focus on what we do not know then argue about what we think we know; for what does the human really know anyway? What good is a label of Atheism or Christianity if we are constantly standing over a line throwing rocks? How asinine it seems to me that a group of intelligent beings can argue about what version of an inconceivable theory is correct when we can’t even travel from one ball of celestial gas to another. Here we sit, twiddling our thumbs and gnawing away at a theory that really cannot be proven or disproved. Who is better? The Atheist who mocks the man trying to ponder his existence or the Christian undeniably thwarting every word that may seem like it is contradictory to their beliefs? Neither. Both are counter productive. Here is a thought: before man existed, there were no names, no titles, no positions, no categories. It was only when man came into existence that we felt the need to label everything. Why? Now that is something to spend your energy arguing about.

Hahahahaha,

the original

I. Thou shalt worship no other god.

II. Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.

III. The feast of unleavened bread thou shalt keep.

IV. Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest.

V. Thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest,
and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.

VI. Thrice in the year shall all your men children appear before the Lord God.

VII. Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven.

VIII. Neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.

IX. The first of the first fruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God.

X. Thou shalt not seethe a kid [ie, a young goat] in his mother’s milk.

because cooking a goat in milk will lead to the destruction of the “utopia”

I think some of you might be taking this a little too seriously. I think he knew that Christian’s didn’t believe that there was literally a “man in the sky.”

@wow: “@Rick. A couple of good reasons that you seem to have missed. Christianity is the largest religion on the planet.”

Wrong. Islam is.

George targets Christianity because he was brought up in a Christian school and household and it personally affected him.
