And finally, I’ve always drawn a great deal of moral comfort from Humpty Dumpty. The part I like the best? “All the king’s horses and all the king’s men couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again.” That’s because there is no Humpty Dumpty, and there is no God.

ROFLMAO
Is there a George Carlin?
There was a Humpty Dumpty, or do you not study anything!
Humpty Dumpty was not an egg at all; nor was he an English king as people frequently believe. Humpty Dumpty was the nickname for a huge wooden battering ram built for the army of King Charles I in the mid-1600s to roll down a slope, across the River Severn, and up against the walls of Gloucester. During England's Civil War Gloucester was held by Oliver Cromwell and his Roundheads. While Charles' army was busy building the "Humpty Dumpty" the Roundheads were secretly widening the river. Thus Humpty Dumpty was wrecked in midstream, "had a great fall", and toppled into the water, drowning hundreds of soldiers--and there was nothing all the king's men could do about it.

I thought Humpty Dumpty was an egg. of course if an egg falls, no one can put it back together, but what does that have to do with God.

Haha, so funny George (great joker)
Humpty Dumpty was an egg in the nursery story. There is nothing to link with GOD.
GOD exists, so as eggs.
GOD bless you!

Actually there was a Humpty Dumpty. It was a cannon. Check into it.

Yah. He says that just before going into OTHER things he thinks are imaginary:
"...land of the free, home of the brave, the press is fair and impartial, justice is blind, all men are created equal, your vote is important, the United States government is on your side, the army is here to keep the peace, the police are on your side...Oh, and freedom of choice, this is the big one..."
So... if you want to use a guy who doesn't believe in, well, pretty much ANYTHING and is happy to spit on the country that gives him enough freedom to be a faithless prat, well, I guess you're welcome to join him in Hell, eh?

Has George Carlin ever said a truly intelligent thing?

I love George Carlin. "When Will Jesus Bring the Pork Chops" is a must read.

I enjoy George Carlin. He has a lot of interesting things about religion! (I don't like his bit about not washing his hands! Yuck!)

I enjoy it. It makes a valid point what has God ever done in our lifetime beside carry his name on through the people who claim to see him in the chair or in the cat they own. Foolish.
