perhaps its the fact that the famous person has touched more lives.
everyone cares when someone who touched their life dies. but, a stranger is a statistic, you think its sad for those left behind, but the real deal is the people that you know and or care about. your right, we should all care, but, human nature is what it is.
as to carlin, I didnt know his comedy that well. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by DemonCat from Tuesday, June 24, 2008 8:40:01 PM)

Yet another "famous" person dies, and we suddenly all care. Don't get me wrong...I loved his comedy...own many albums (yes albums) of his. I pray he had enough "faith" in God to allow his soul to last forever in the Kingdom of God, Heaven on Earth ect.!!!!
Who misses "the little unkown man"? Who cares? Every person here with us is someone special to someone! Why don't "the masses" care when every individual dies? How can 1 life mean more than another...unless we're talking about Jesus Christ?
It's no surprise to me the impact George Carlin had on others lives, but he helped spread the questioning of God's teaching, laws, and the life of Jesus. I pray he meant it as a joke...and people "got" the joke, and took it as a joke. I don't think he'd find it humorous that there is a God of Abraham, Jacob, Isaac, and Joseph, if he meant what he "joked" about.
Rest he will. In peace...only God will judge. In Hell...I pray not for him, or anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
