    he can say what ever the hell he wants, as long as they keep making kick ass music and put on killer shows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sometimes i don't like it when he goes into one of his political rants, but it's a tiny price to pay to see one of the greatest bands ever!!!!!!!

    Threads like these are drama bait and nothing more. Useless, sniveling nonsense about offending people's love for evolved mythology and its use as both a guiding tool (good) and a tool of judgement and division (fuck you).

    Since we're on topic, and Ed quoted the late, great GC before Marker, here's a particularly glorious rant of Carlin's that pretty well encapsulates the entire concept of organized religion:

    when it comes to God and something you hold dear to you, it's not stupid. i'm sure if i said something disrespectful to eddie about his daughter he wouldn't appreciate it either. whether he believes in God or not i don't really care. just have respect to some of your fans who do believe. that's all.

    I'm with Eddie in that I don't believe in God but I could care less that you do. It doesn't BOTHER ME that you do and it shouldn't bother you if Eddie or anyone else do not. The point is it isn't "disrespectful" for anyone to say they don't believe in god. Quite frankly, that's just silly. How was he disrespecting you by saying he doesn't believe what you beleive? So by your train of thought you are disrespecting everyone who doesn't believe everytime you announce your love of god?? Of course not. Believe what you believe and be content with that. Don't worry so much about those of us who "don't believe". My god some people are way too uptight, especially about religion. Peace

    i could care less what ed believes in, but if he's going to talk about his beliefs publicly on stage, he could at least give it to us straight! like the other poster said, he goes back and forth, for example: at camden 1, he was talking about tim russert's memorial service, and how incredible it was that there was a double rainbow outside after "somewhere over the rainbow" was sung for him. then he made the vague comment saying "who knows how many levels there are to this thing", sounds like he was acknowledging life after death. can you have life after death without a god?

    and thats why i think ed believes in god or something bigger. he's always going back and forth on this.

    hey buddy, if you actually take the time to read my post that I really didn't think would spawn a damn 7-page thread, you'll see that I was just asking in what context did he say it. why he even brought it up. I didn't ask everyone to really think about what he really meant when he said it. I don't apologize for asking a question. and about your late, great George Carlin... the man believes in God now. I assure you.

    Yes. Absolutely yes.

    My stance on the issue is this...

    I'm not offended by people who believe in god, So why would people be offended if I don't?

    Me believing or not believing has no effect on anyone else but me.

    There's really no need to harp on this... get the panties out of your asses and move on.
