How A Stand-Up Routine Turned My World Upside Down

In my previous post, I had written about how George Carlin had helped in forming my world-view. This is the story of how it actually started. It begins on an average day, sometime in the last quarter of 2010. It was a few hours past midnight when I had finished my work for the day and had some time to kill before I caught my ride back home. I went onto YouTube and started watching a string of videos, some of which were stand-up comedy. While some of them were funny but ultimately forgettable, one of them was about to send me down a rabbit hole that would change my life. The red pill was a stand-up routine by George titled “Religion is bullshit”.
