In the name of reason and justice, Atheist Ireland’s campaign against a proposed new law to make a new crime of blasphemy deserves all the support it can muster. To challenge the proposed legislation they have published a list of 25 quotations on their website any one of which could make them liable to a fine of up to 25,000 euros (£22,000; $35,000) if this ridiculous law is passed.
This is my personal favourite by comedian George Carlin :
“Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever ’til the end of time! But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can’t handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!”
In late 2007/early 2008 I was shown a video that was informative about “The greatest bullshit story ever told”. There was alot of interesting information that I was never aware of. I asked a friend of mine for a copy of it because alot of the footage and information has stuck with me. I would like to learn myself of more of those facts; from the astrological aspect, to the breakdown of religion; all the way to the political aspect, down to the setup of “9/11”. I never knew how to come about such a video such as the one that I saw, but if possible I would like to have a copy of my own. In the beginning of this website there is a quote that was recited in the beginning of the video, “The greatest bullshit story ever told”. I hope that this reaches someone who could assist me with my request. Thanks.

I think you’re referring to Zeitgeist by Peter Joseph. Unfortunately the movie is a mix with a lot of fake information, so its not reliable.
Carlin was a freaking genius. It takes real courage to tell millions of brainwashed folks the ugly truth!
