CHRISTIAN WOMAN REACTS TO GEORGE CARLIN "SWEARING ON THE BIBLE"

As an atheist with a religious background, I like how you can actually tie much of the messaging of Jesus into secular morality...we're only human, we're flawed, fallible, and limited...we must be humble in ourselves and in our understanding of others, love thy neighbor, comfort the poor and afflicted...for the golden rule is all we really need, do unto others as you would have done unto you...

[@JWAM]

@@42Mrgreenman But that is inaccurate. The church has been playing catch-up with secular morality all the time. It is the Christian version of reality that says stupid things like "if there was no god, then you could do aaaaaannything!", completely forgetting that we are social animals which means that our good behaviour towards others is what keeps us and our peers safe. So these few "words of wisdom" attributed to Jesus by western culture is just wrong. It only works if you first create a sickness and then offer the remedy. If you're clear-headed, you'll see it.

The difference was when he first started the obscenity and censorship laws made his comedy more subtle but once the US Supreme Court ruled his bit 7 words you can't say on TV his humor became blatant

[@shawnyoung8752]

HBO was the one who chose Carlin to be the first face. He had no censorship. He was a guy who worked for 10 yesrs to have a good carrerr in LA televusion. He left and 3 years later was the Hippie Dippy Weatherman. Hosted Carson show. Was finally arrested for profanity in 72. He went to Supreme Court for his 7 Dirty Words. He was a irishman who worked hard and played hard. Saw him in 83 then 84 and he had expanded his words from 150 to around 270? He was just observing and commenting on wgat ge saw.

Highly intelligent man. You can watch how his comedy morphed throughout his career. The older he got the more philosophical his comedy was.

If ya can't logically refute his points than (if you're a logical person) ya shouldn't be 'almost' convinced. If you can great. I'd like to hear 'em. If you can't.... just admit he made good points and change your beliefs accordingly. Easier said than done but ideally that's what would happen.

[@jimiewilliams7623]

She didn't get the premise of his dialogue and kept interrupting to say that humans came up with rights. No duh, he said that at the beginning and was trying to illustrate the point. Plus, she believes in a god without evidence. She may be intelligent, but I never confuse someone's intelligence with someone being smart. An actually open minded human, would not believe in a holy book or god that was invented by goat herders thousands of years ago. Believing in stuff like that, is the definition of a closed mind. She is tolerant, but open minded, I think not. In my opinion, great reactors will only interrupt after a point or verse, not during it. Factor that, Todd.

George became the philosopher king of comedy over time. He was fearless and unapologetic, and used his forum to say things in the context of comedy that said elsewhere would have seen a swift and mighty backlash. Might be interesting if you reacted to some of his early career performances that were more conventional for the time. Another comedy rec, if you haven't seen it, is Abbott and Costello's classic Who's On First, routine. Often considered one of the greatest of all time. The 1953 Retired Actors Home performance is probably best, if so.

Something to keep in mind about George's talk about having unlimited rights. Exercising your rights carries with it the expectation of accepting the consequences. The world is a giant network of causal relationships. You can't do anything worth mentioning without causing some notable effect, and if we have unlimited rights, that means everyone has unlimited rights, including the right to feel safe. If you think about it like that, we do have unlimited rights.

[@JeshuaSquirrel]

You would think it should include an acceptance of consequence. You would be surprised how many alleged free-speech advocates actually say the 1st amendment protects everyone from consequences, and not just from the government.

Maybe the raising of the right hand and swearing is something that dates back to when England was a part of Scandinavia, when you swear it is making an oath In the early middle age scandinavian cultures, breaking an oath is an unthinkable thing. Those were the worst kinds of people. So it meant something to make an oath breaking it would bring shame upon your entire family, so it is not something that one was likely to do easily. raising the right hand would be indicative of making the oath to Tyr the God that presides over the thing or the court it would be recognizing Tyr sacrifice of his right arm , but that is just a guess it's amazing how things connect that one would think couldn't possibly be related.

Even if Georgie is right about the absence of a deity or even two... What your belief does for you is real, even when you grow 🙏

I always liked George, I guess he found out for sure when he passed. RIP.

The internment of the Japanese Americans was only done on the West coast. That's not where the majority of Japanese-Americans were living. However, the Japanese-Americans on the west coast were rather affluent given their recent immigration status. That internment was politically motivated by the Democratic party. Most Japanese Americans lived in Hawaii. They represented 25% of the state's population. None of them ever went to internment camps. Wouldn't you think Hawaii was a lot more vulnerable than the West Coast?

Britt... one of my favorite words is EPIHPANY ... when it finally hits you... that there is no god, no jesus, no heaven, no hell, etc.. that's an epiphany.

Putting your hand on the Bible came from some overly religious whackaloons who thought that if you merely put your hand on that book, somehow you wouldn't lie. Which always cracks me up, because what's going to happen if you lie? George addresses that in this bit, I "believe." Britt, you are a true treasure in today's world. You're a Christian who has an open mind, which is _very_ rare among your folks. You understand nuance; you understand context; you understand humor; you can laugh at yourself. You gained a fan in me. I love how you analyze this stuff-yeah, even the inane stuff I don't really care for. Also, "truth" and "facts" are polar opposites; truth is a "belief," and "facts" are facts. If you want to know about truth, go to your junior college and enroll in a "Philosophy" class. But if you want to know about facts, enroll in the "Journalism" department. And those two classes usually exist on opposite sides of the campus, by the way. Oh, _contraire:_ "numbers" _do_ lie when both women and men use them for their own selfish ends. Hence the often attributed to Mark Twain quote, _"There are lies, damned lies, and statistics."_ No, sis, God _did_ give us the Bill of Rights because God was invoked through that process; the men who gave us those so-called rights invoked "God" when they wrote them. Which begs the question sort of like the "chicken or the egg" gives us: did "God" create man, or did man create God? As for Wikipedia, it's been around for over 20 years, but it could never be taken seriously, especially today, since the CIA currently runs that site. Even the guy who founded Wikipedia has said that he sold Wikipedia to factions that work for the CIA. So, unless you're sourcing Wikipedia for minor stuff, like birth dates of people or basic stuff, it can't be considered a trusted site. Don't trust anything to do with the U.S. State Department, wars, or politics that's written on that site. They've been proven wrong many times and won't take down the debunked stuff they have posted. You said, "Opinion is such a dangerous thing"... and so are "beliefs." Because they're the SAME THING. You keep rocking sis! And I'll keep following your stuff! 🤘

In fact:the parents of the great theoretical physicist Michio Kaku were also put in an camp like this
