“I don’t believe in God anymore than I believe in anything else that doesn’t exist. So shoot me.”

LOL. Excellent rant.

The 4 horseman should recruit Adam as their 5th.  Same message but a language that speaks to an audience in much need of reason.

Way to go Adam, from The Tower, World’s Smallest Comedy Club hidden somewhere in north Idaho.
We enjoy a good laugh up here.  Let’s all go to hell together cause I don’t want to be in heaven with 144,000 Jehovah Witnesses BANGING ON MY DOOR!  Rick Reed

Here is Adam talking about religion on Penn Radio:

Crap audio quality, but a great discussion.

I particularly love the point he made that NOTHING made him an atheist.  It’s a point that’s SO hard for religious people to get:  Atheism is the default setting…not to believe in things that you’ve never seen any evidence for is the Normal Response.  Hopefully the new generation will be exposed to enough people who recognize and point this simple fact out that they will be able to grow up without undue delusions and/or have the wherewithal to cast off the ones they do get force-fed.  The world will be a much better place when that has happened.

Adam sure seems like he has read or heard of Ernest Becker. “Awareness” scares the crap out of people.
I agree, great rant.

Brilliant words Carolla. Someone who see’s the world with some clarity and common sense…

That was, by a large margin, the most intelligent thing I have ever heard Adam Carolla say. I was pleasantly surprised.

On further reflection, I also once heard Adam Carolla respond to a caller’s question regarding analingus by saying something to the effect of “I don’t know about you, but when I wipe my ass, it’s like trying to get peanut butter out of shag carpeting.”

So true that religious adults typically had religion “shoved into them” when they were young. Young minds can be weak and vulnerable and unable to mount a defense against irrational ideas, especially when those ideas are pushed by family and community. But as you get older and become a better thinker you become less susceptible to bogus ideas. To illustrate, adult Christians readily dismiss other religions as absurd, nonsensical, and even laughable. And they don’t realize that if they hadn’t been introduced to Christianity at a young age by loving family and persistent friends, then they would be saying the same thing about Christianity ... that it is absurd, unfounded, and laughable.

It also amazes me how religious people overlook the obvious fact that beliefs are almost exclusively a function of one’s birthplace and family. And therefore only a cruel and unjust god would base an eternal punishment or eternal reward on which particular beliefs we hold.

I agree with Bryan - the most intelligent thing I’ve heard Adam Carolla say.  In this case, however, that ain’t sayin’ much.

“I don’t believe in anything else that doesn’t exist.” 

Argh.

Ooh, Adam Corolla can deduce that genital mutilation is wrong! I’m guessing he thinks child molestation, genocide and any other obvious example is wrong too. No one is debating that it’s right! Tell me, is a wife murdering an abusive husband right or wrong? What if he only hit her once? How many hits until it’s “right”? It’s arbitrary, you tit. You can’t just dismiss it as “desconstructionism” and then make claims based on subjective rationale. He steamrolled right past that one as if his audience would be too dumb or drunk to pick up on it.
