I believe everyone has the right to believe whatever they want. And if you want to question other peoples beliefs then you have the right to do so but I don't do it out of respect, if I think someone is wrong about something I'd rather have him see what I believe is the truth by himself, unless he asks of course.
I also believe that truth, when it's most important, is subjective and temporary. Truth is a concept formed by humans, therefore it's only relevant to and can only be defined by man.
Let's say that everyone in the world believed in "Truth A", then A would be the truth. Kill everyone and A would be irrelevant. Now let's assume that 51% of the people in the world believed in "Truth A" while the rest believed in "Truth B", who can say which truth is the real truth, considering that it's subjective and only relevant to the ones thinking about it?
P.S: I fail to see how George Carlin is any different from those holy men preaching to the crowds. He wants people to live and think in a certain way and the holy men want them to live and think in a different way.
