Niqulus VIII - You are so right. I've seen so many interviews of Carlin and starting in the 90s he began not being afraid to tell people they were morons for just accepting things at face value. He was of the opinion that you can believe whatever you want but only as long as you came to that decision yourself after careful thought and not just because someone told you that you should.

Sir, as an older parent with grown children, serious props to you on your parenting skills. A teachable moment came up that gave you the opportunity to explain George Carlin's point of view to your son, and explain why it was just as valid as your own, and how different points of view can exist in the world. You were there and aware in that moment and were able to articulate to your son when your son wondered why someone could think that way. Most people couldn't be bothered to try. Serious props to you.

Loved you explaining the meaning of what Carlin was saying to your son. That's awesome parenting, dude.

Teach them to question everything.”

Yes, a person's character is judged not on how they sit in luxury (not being challenged on their beliefs) but how they stand in adversity (their reactions to a differing perspective that challenges their ideas). Though, there IS a difference between being "challenged" and being insulted. George Carlin was extremely intelligent, but very aggressive in the language he used to express himself and at times seems to be insulting when he is merely asking you to think.

You guys are cool and yes I'm rocking with you and its always nice that when someone has the family involved with them and shows that they have a good upbringing and that matters alot.Very much for what George Carlin new from a long time back on how things seems to be actually going in this life with so many type I guess I can say falling angels sense you are a religious family Or I guess we can call them devil's and type politics and just type political views that the type lower middle class well never really actually have but hopefully for the up and coming and I do hope I do get to see a big type of really big change for the better of everyone yet I'm 52 now and I may not get to see the upcoming greatness but actually I might cause knowing there's so many devilish bad people out there yet I think we most likely have more good people then bad and I was watching like a video conference with like stars and someone said something that actually made it look and just feel uncomfortable and I won't say what was said but it actually took a younger smart indevidual with probably a very good up bringing and it was I think her name is Zendaya and it took a younger type star with a good upbringing to just to discuss something a little more upbeat that and older star just had to bring up and let the air out of the room.For George Carlin I actually just recently found out about or forgot of his kind of hardcore type true words.I only remember all his list of sayings of words that he made up and there very funny. George Carlin told it how it is and most of its true to this day Yet sometimes it seems like its not all comedy and more kind of in somewhat rather mean type of bad taste comedy But so truthful in so many ways but I do prefer the his list of about a hundred different phrases he made up.To bad he couldn't of used his angry jokes in a different type of erena yet he probably couldn't get away with it beyond anywhere away from his own platform.it well probably take a few more people with a little more calmness to themselves in a type way to were someone else could actually get some smart talk going and he's done this type talk comedy series for a long time and it wasn't payed attention to in a type serious matter that should of for a type better understanding with bad life lies going on. It's well only take the right set of people correcting it and hopefully it's not going to be sometype alien attack before people see that something not right yet it is still alright and just injoy life and try to bring up and raise your children in the best possible way you can with good values and good morels and just keep them safe from what George is kind of pointing out to everyone.

It's important to note that his whole point about rights wasn't whether or not God is real, it wasn't an anti-Christian rant, his point was that even if God is, in fact, real, he isn't the one that made op our "rights", humans are, and they did so to control other humans while using God as an explanation and element of fear so that people won't ever question their "God-given rights". We were born free, but for some reason, "God" made up a bunch of rights, that for some weird reason changes the moment you travel to another country. Hmmm. Both your daughter and son got a little defensive (while still laughing) about his comments on Christianity, which is fair, but they should know that even though Carling didn't believe in religion and made fun of it in his stand up he also stated several times throughout his life that he respects everyone's opinion and have no personal ill will towards any Christians or other religions. As you saw in this bit and the one you watched with your daughter, his problem was primarily with the people abusing religion and gaining power by doing so, the church taking peoples money, pastors keeping it for themselves, without having to pay taxes, the government using religion to create laws and rights to control people, by using the "God" excuse, etc. As people say, Carlin was a philosopher posing as a comedian.

Because God has no definite image but his children, that leads me to believe that in all regions in the world he would present himself in a way this is familiar to them.

We have changed our definition of "Nothing" in space in physics. Since the discovery of gauge symmetry the vaccuum of empty space end up not being empty but if theres a void of "nothing" theres a quantum foam that virtual particle pairs appear from then annihilare to nothing/ energy density in the field of nothing. Even in our idea of purely nothing, theres still an instrinsic quantum field throughout the universe , because its a scalar field. Also 95% of the universe is energy and energy we can't measure, we can only observe the gravitation around it and find it by the gravity clumps in deep space. There was no before the big bang. before is a time statement. if time started with the big bang it couldn't exist before its own creation. Keep in mind that time and space are connected like electricity and magnetism. the SpaceTime and Electromagnetic permeations of the universe. If you go the speed of light. the maximum. time goes to zero. or if you freeze something in space to absolute zero, it doesnt experience time. but it still passes. Same reason a magnet causes an electric field, and electricity flowing as a field creates a magnet. Time didn't exist before the big bang. All thats known is there is a singularity where everything came from, and 300,000 years after that event, electron density was cold enough to see light and we can measure it. Its the Cosmic microwave background radiation. its a big bang remnant. but NO ONE, not even the physics I know can make any statement of value to measure before the big bang. All is known that the space, and energy density reaches infinity with our current equations. so we need better methods of measuring, like gravity wave radar. Still doesn't mean that god did it. It doesnt mean he didn't cause it either. No statement can be made about supernatural things in science, it can only deal with the natural. But odds are against magic and universal law breaking plans needed to cause an existence of omnipotence and omnipresent deities.

[@chrisrosales4219]

@@Necksteppa77 Everything that exists was present before the big bang in a singularity. The big bang was an expansion, not a creation. If there is or was anything before and beyond the big bang it is external to this universe and superfluous to it. Time and space began with the big bang, but the stuff that fills it was already there.

This was an amazing experience with the two of you and the difference in how each were schooled. As a former teacher many years ago now I and others observed that the goal was to have children follow and not question. Teachers who wanted their students to use their brains and to question everything were being accused of unbelievable things eventually left and were replaced by teachers who would also do as told and not question. So here were are today, MANY wondering how did our country get this way while far too MANY think America is great because their leader says so.

You said you live in a household of faith because you always look on the posetive side. While this is a very wholesome thaught i would argue that you don't need to be faithful to be posetive and happy. I am agnostic atheist. But i really like the posetive and beautiful side of science and physics theories. Like the chaos theory or the theory of relativity. Those things are not necessarily negative they are neutral and while one side of chaos may be dark and negative there is another side to it that is beautiful and posetive. I think you have to accept that there are always two sides to every story and if you say you want to be faithful because you only want to see the good side of things i think you are missing out on very important information. Information that may be negative but it may also be a very helpful experience you could learn from. Much love to you and your family and greetings from austria.
