Re: George Carlin religion

In my opinion, religious institutions are like most things that have way too much power, and it's the people at the top who need scrutinizing and criticism. The huge group of people below them (us) have no power, yet it seems to me that they take the brunt of criticism from people who are opposed to religion. for me, that doesn't sit too well

Great paragraph. Spot on.

Re: George Carlin religion

It’s been surprising for me, living into my 60s with zero interest in religion, then moving to Poland where Catholicism is so prevalent and sets the tone for daily life. Last week was a huge deal for Corpus Christi, the whole country shut down.

So a bit like Covid-19 then, maybe it should be reclassified as a religion?

I believe in divinity but not a god. Religions are just human fabrications, sets of beliefs, stories and life tenets agreed upon by groups which can of course have lots of good take aways from as to how to live your life but fabrications nonetheless.

Can you explain what that means?

Re: George Carlin religion

I think religion exists, and always will, to keep the poor in check.
Can you imagine the carnage if it was all exposed as bollox.
There would be rebellion all over the world, with folk wanting there share of the wealth in this life.
To me, it’s like an adult version of Father Christmas.
A wealthy businessman will have his legal team go over a new contract with a fine tooth comb before he signs it, but will then put all his faith in some ****er he’s never seen.
Bat shit crazy!

Well I think that is the winning card

Fry sums it up perfectly

Why would God create a world so full of pain and suffering ? And the only way to get out of it is to pray to him ?

What if Liz hates Sabbath and gave you an ultimatum: "It's me or Sabbath". Which would you choose?

Do you expect to live forever? You've had enough Sabbath. It's time for some Hurley.

You chose unwisely.
