Comedian George Carlin died yesterday from heart failure. Known for his biting satire, Carlin seemed to become ever more vitriolic as he aged. Never one to avoid controvesy, he frequently addressed religious issues in a mocking and blasphemous way. Now, he is in the hands of the Almighty.
One can only wonder what takes place in the moments after we die. Is there an individual encounter with God? Are unbelievers addressed as individuals, judged by him in person, singly, or do they pass through to their eternal dwelling place via an impersonal sorting device like a piece of mail?

I knew that Carlin was out on the edge, but I still was surprised to read an appreciation piece for him by Paul Farhi (Washington Post), stating that Carlin, in the early
90's, said that, "anything could be funny" even rape. Carlin then went into a monolgue about female victimization.
