on the brink of extinction: born to traditional american anglo-saxon couple married 40+ years. I have two younger sisters, both still married with children (first marriages). I have two children with my wife of 20+ years. My parents, my sisters, their families, and mine all live within 25 miles of where we grew up in southwest ohio.

I have always been irritated with imposed religion which is somehow a main driving force in this country!? I am hoping that my fellow countrymen and women will someday come to their senses. I am embarrassed by the worldview of my homeland, especially with our leadership in the 21st century.

Wouldn't it make more sense to worship the sun? A tribute to Carlin.

06/24/2008

Almost as adept at exposing the fallacies of religion as Hitchens himself, George Carlin was a genious at exposing human silliness, and showing us all just how ridiculous some of our viewpoints and accepted beliefs can be.

One of his finest works is from "You are all Diseased", and at the end of this particular routine, he coins the phrase he is most remembered for, "There's an invisible man...living in the sky!" I can't paraphrase the sun-worship theory, and provide any justice to it, so if you appreciate Carlin, I suggest checking out one of the many youtube entries for "religion is bulls**t".

Apologies to the faithful.
