| George Carlin on RELIGION |
|
"When it comes to BullShit, truly major league BullShit, you have to stand back in awe of the truly heavyweight champion of false promises and exaggerated claims:
Religion. Organized religion.
It is no contest.
Religion easily has the best BullShit story of all time.
Religion has convinced people that there is an invisible man living in the sky, who watches everything you do for every minute of every day.
And the invisible man has a list of ten specific things that he doesn't want you to do.
If you do any of these things, he will send you to a special place of burning and fire and smoke and anguish for you to live forever and suffer and burn and scream until the end of time.
But he loves you.
He loves you and he needs money.
He always needs money.
He is all-powerful, all wise, all present, all knowing.
He just can't handle money.
Religion takes in billions and billions of dollars.
They pay no taxes.
But somehow they always need money.
You talk about a good BullShit story...
If I may be permitted a small pun: Holy Shit!"
Gotta love George Carlin.

| 2. He also said (speaking as Jesus): |
|
... 'I wouldn't want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a man nailed to two pieces of wood. Especially if it's me!'

| 5. And they're probably the second-largest landowners in the US |
|
after the Govt.
Next time a repuke uses that tired old argument ("Did you know the largest landowner in the US is the Govt?" - I hope so. Imagine if we had to pay rent to have our military bases!) throw that back in their face - "You know who's # 2? Religion!"
