Man...this thread went to sh!t fast.
The guy died...he was a cultural mouthpiece during, and after, some very trying times for America (Viet Nam). It doesn't matter if you agreed with everything he said or all of what he said...He made people LAUGH.
To paraphrase SFC Hulka...Lighten Up You Bunch of Francises!

Truth is, Carlin hadnt been funny for a quarter century. And his attacks on God, Jesus Christ, people of the Christian faith, along with conservatives and most everything else to do with traditional American values, was sickening.I absolutely agree with you.
My point is simply that I can't judge him and you can't judge him...Only our all-loving and all-forgiving God can judge him.
May he rest in peace.

I disagree with one point. He did know Christ in his youth, and rejected him as he grew up, which is even worse.

>>>>>My point is simply that I can't judge him and you can't judge him...Sure I can! I can judge him in life. What I can't do, is judge him in death. I'll leave that up to a higher authority.

I’m not saying for certain that he is damned, but we shouldn’t be posting all this hagiography saying he was a great guy. The man was a jerk.

Yes, much of Carlin's early humor came from growing up in the Catholic school system.
Class Clown was full of such stories.

With all due respect...who are you to judge anyone? In life or in death? Shall you cast the first stone??

He may have known “of” Christ, but he never “knew” Him if he could reject Him so completely.
To: fagin62
With all due respect to you - you are friends with everyone you meet in life? The thieves, the adulterers, the abusers, not to mention the just plain not nice people? We all make judgments about people every day. Don’t pretend otherwise. I taught my daughters that you’re judged by the company you keep therefore choose your friends wisely. We do not know where George Carlin’s soul is tonite. We can only speculate by the life he lived and what he outright told us. Like I posted prior, he could have made his peace with God at the very moment of death. Who knows?
To: Reagan Man
No, I’m not.
Are you without sin? I know I’m not. So what gives us the right to judge anyone??

You're talking about recognizing evil here on earth...of course we can, and should, do that...What I was referring to, in my response to Reagan Man, was our ability to judge the soul of a man.

We humans judge our fellow humans all the time.
What I don’t do, is run around pushing anti-Christian liberalism, or defending people who do. Carlin was famous for his attacks on everything that was decent in America.

Believe me, brother, I am NOT an anti-Christian liberal...far from it. I just believe it’s up to God to judge the man...that’s all.

It sounds like George Carlin himself made the state of his soul pretty clear in his own words for the whole world (or at least his audience) to know. He judged himself in a very public way.
To: fagin62
"its up to God to judge the man" And tonite He has.
To: fagin62
By his own words, Carlin didn’t lead a spiritual life. His morals were in the toilet. His humanity was in question.
In death, its God who will judge his soul. Not me.
