George Carlin - Sanctity of Life - текст песни, слова, перевод, видео

You can often hear the expression “holiness of life.” Do you believe this? Personally, I think this is bullshit. Is life sacred? Who said? God? But if you look at history, it turns out that God is one of the main causes of death. It's been like this for thousands of years. Hindus, Muslims, Jews, Christians take turns killing each other because God told them it was a good idea. “The sword of the Lord,” “the blood of the lamb,” “Vengeance is mine, I will repay.” Millions of corpses. And all because they gave the wrong answer to the question about God.

"- Do you believe in God? - No" - bang! Dead man. "- Do you believe in God? - Yes. - In my God? - No" - bang! Dead person. "My god has a bigger dick than yours!"

And all the cruelest, bloodiest wars are based on religious hatred. Although personally I don't mind. Every time the saints start killing each other, I'm all for it! Just don’t give me this bullshit about the sanctity of life then.

Even if there is something like that, God has nothing to do with it. Do you know where this holiness of life came from? We came up with it. Why? Yes because we are alive. Personal interest. Living people have a vested interest in promoting the belief that life is sacred. Abbott and Costello are not keen on this idea. Mussolini doesn’t talk much about this topic either. What have you heard from John Kennedy on this matter? Not a damn thing. Kennedy, Mussolini and Abbott and Costello are dead. And the dead don’t give a damn about the sanctity of life. Only the living care about it, so all this is, at a minimum, a biased point of view. Nonsense invented by a person for his own interests. Something that makes us feel important. "Life is sacred." You immediately feel important.

But I ask: if everything dead was alive and everything living will die, where is the holiness? I don `t understand. Even those who believe in the sanctity of life do something different in practice. We kill flies and mosquitoes - because they are reptiles; lions and tigers - it's excitement! chickens and pigs - hunting to eat; pheasants and partridges - it's a thrill to eat and eat! Well, and people - because they are bastards. And excitement!

Have you noticed that for some reason the sanctity of life does not extend to cancer cells? You rarely see the slogan “Let's save the tumor!” or "Let's support melanoma!" Viruses, mold, fungus, weeds, bacteria, mandavos. For some reason we don’t see anything sacred in them. So, at best, the sanctity of life is a selective thing. We choose which life forms are sacred and kill the rest. We've settled in pretty well, haven't we? How did we get so lucky, you ask? Yes, we made it all up ourselves!
