For better or worse, I've been quoting him since I was about 10 years old (sans most of the profanity, since I'm actually not much of a potty mouth). Yes, George was awesome.

George is with Joe Pesci now, and all is right with the sun. I think each generation needs a George Carlin, to question the status quo and call out those that, as Kevin said, use religion to "a) make money and b) control people for their own ends."
