That would make his views on God as an atheist based on what Catholicism teaches god to be. Now if you (being an atheist as well) can identify or support any questions or challenges based any work or material Carlin put together based on his knowledge of God then, it can be said that [at least apart of the] Catholic doctrine supports the Atheist view of God.
Hmmm, Now only if their were some way of tying you to some work or bit Carlin did based on his catholic based knowledge of God that you agreed with... If such a thing existed then maybe we could start there.
Reaching way far far away in a land where, if you didn't believe in god as a catholic, you got the ruler against the knuckles, or as some nuns enjoyed a kick down a flight of stairs.
Acting now (ad hom) stupid doesn't fly either kiddo.
8 years of Catholic school during corporal punishment no you believed in god or like some nuns enjoyed a good slam the head against the blackboard.
Sure failing religion was strictly punished. Been there done that, wouldn't suggest it. It was go along with them or else.
I just got the pats on the ass for asking questions. Fail religion was holy hell.
Then after the nuns (some Priests a schoolmate or so would state) the beatings came home.
Smug idiocy is still an attempt to slither through this debate.
"Religion is comparable to Childhood neurosis" Sigmond Freud
"If one wishes to form a true estimate of the full grandeur of religion, one must keep in mind what it undertakes to do for men. It gives them information about the source and origin of the universe, it assures them of protection and final happiness amid the changing vicissitudes of life, and it guides their thoughts and motions by means of precepts which are backed by the whole force of its authority."
SIGMUND FREUD, New Introductory Lectures on Psychoanalysis
"Religion is an illusion and it derives its strength from the fact that it falls in with our instinctual desires."
