The truth is George was very gentle in his humor about religion. As we all know the bible is based on facts. How about this, when God decided to kill every man woman and child on earth, he found one family[Noah] worth saving. Though the wheel had not been invented yet, and the world was 24,000 miles around, he followed Gods orders and collected two of every creature to store on his boat. Somehow he crossed 7 oceans and 5 continents, thousands of Islands and lands to acquire 250,000 different species[actually more then, because some are extinct now]. Religious people are still looking for Noah's Ark, of course they're mad at George. They have devoted their lives to silliness, and of course they are angry that George mentions it.

Wow, there are so many comments, I can't even get through them all. Most, loved George, but some hated him. The reason is very clear. As George once said, as a child, they teach you a man is looking down at you from the clouds, and he's not very happy with some of the things you do. Once you teach a child to believe that, you can make him believe anything. I'll give my own small example. Thousands of Years ago, before the time of the wheel, God decided to kill every man, woman and child on earth for being evil, except for one family. He spared the Noah family, who built a boat per Gods instructions, and collected two of every creature to accompany his family and be saved. The authors of this story did not know the world was 25,000 miles around, with 5 continents and seven oceans and that there are 250,000 different species. All we know is, the story must be believed, otherwise, which are stories, and which are truths. Tell a jury one lie, and all can be taken as lies. You can always say, "God works in Mysterious ways"

anyone remember the "hippy dippy weather man"???

Like any other comedian, some material was funnier than others, but he always delivered.

I think he did a lot of religious comedy because he was so hurt about the death of his wife. I can relate! (my infant died and I was angry at God) There are some funny things in religion and if we can't laugh at ourselves, then we are no better than those who kill people for drawing pictures of their "prophet" or strap bombs to themselves. I would only hope that God can look on his heart and see what was really going on inside. We only saw the bitter, hurt part... which at times, he made kinda funny.

George Carlin was kicked out of Cardinal Hayes HS in the Bronx for being (what else) a class clown. However, he had class enough to respect the priest who through him out by attending and performing at a testimonial for the old priest. Regis Philbin, Martin Scorcese, and a bunch of other great folks,including myself, went to that high school. Way to go: Cardinal Hayes.

He's dead. He won't say anything. Just like you won't after you die. The End.
