Remembering an Atheist!!! - The man who told us “life is worth losing”

George Carlin is Dead.  Well not today, but three years ago.

For all the Carlin fans out there this maybe late news, but it is still something i cannot come to terms with.  The worlds funniest atheist is no more!  I was never a fan of stand up comedy, except for maybe a little Eddie Griffin and Katt Williams, but Carlin turned my world around, not only was he comic, but he seemed to be the real deal.  For a young man searching for a religious foothold, Joe Pesci and the sun seemed like good alternatives to a god who demanded my presence in his holy place during holidays and money!!

I have never felt the loss of a book as much as I felt the loss of the The Best of Braindroppings (Mini Book) (Charming Petite Series) which was unfairly stolen from me by a friend and atheist on his way to managerial glory in ITC!  Not only was Carlin a great orator and author, he was also an amazing actor. His small but memorable role in Dogma is one that satire comedy fans will never forget.  Here was a man who could make dark humor darker and delve deep into that twisted little corner of all our minds and urged us to bring out that smirking little devil, who doubled over with laughter at his jokes.

The thinking mans comic is no more.  The man who encouraged us to think, reminding us every time that it was still legal!!  I think he is up there smiling down at us, or knowing Carlin, he must be up there yanking gods chain...and maybe ruefully smiling at himself and saying"well, after all i said, looks like he does exist!"...I say he is up there and not as he himself put it once, "down below", because i believe if there is a heaven, there should be a special place for the funny men who made us laugh and forget our sorrows, and a very special place for a funny man who did all that and got us thinking.

To Carlin, wherever you are, they are lucky to have you!!! You will be missed!!!
