George Carlin in Touched By An Atheist(Madtv)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=niqVVENiY2c&feature=related

I just found this and have to say it is a nice, quick spoof of that dumb "Touched By An Angel" tv show. I especially liked the allusions to Santa Clause being the same as God, scaring people into believing with hell, heaven is a place on earth(its a strip club by the airport), and the final disclaimer to Carlin about selling out. Classic, but Carlin usually is.

I used to like watching

I used to like watching Touched by an Angel when I was(really) young. Seems a pretty decent program for a christian kid right? Then my mother heard it was actually evil and I wasn't allowed to watch it anymore. Never figured why

Argument from Sadism: Theist presents argument in a wall of text with no punctuation and wrong spelling. Atheist cannot read and is forced to concede.

I thought the sketch was

I thought the sketch was really great, but I didn't like the disclaimer. The jokes in the disclaimer about selling out George were funny and all, but considering that this is America, I also get the feeling that it wasn't entirely a joke, and it kinda took the punch out of the whole thing.

And I never pass up a chance to brag that I've seen George up close! Wish I could do it again sometime. =]

A place common to all will be maintained by none. A religion common to all is perhaps not much different.
