RIP George CarlinFiled Under: Social

I normally wouldn’t actually write about the death of another human, largely because I don’t respect many enough to do so. But George Carlin is in a league of his own. His stand up comedy is utter brilliance, his routine could make anyone with a sense of humor laugh. His books, albums, and HBO specials were really something unique and incredibly good. Anyone who discusses religion as bluntly as Carlin did, while still remaining on air is worthy of praise. In honor of Mr. Carlin, I’ll post a few great quotes and videos (out of a massive library of thousands).

Quotes

• “Atheism is a non-prophet organization.”
• “Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity.“
• “I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don’t have as many people who believe it.“
• “I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me - they’re cramming for their final exam.”
• “I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a guy nailed to two pieces of wood.“
• “Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.“
• “The reason I talk to myself is that I’m the only one whose answers I accept.
• “When someone is impatient and says, “I haven’t got all day,” I always wonder, How can that be? How can you not have all day?“
• “You know the good part about all those executions in Texas? Fewer Texans.“

And here to some videos:
