George Carlin walked into heaven and said, “What the FUCK am I doing here?”
A host of heavenly-like voices laughed.
What, you expected George to say something LESS offensive?
George felt himself all over…
“Check, one, two, shove my shoe up…”
Heavenly-like voices snicker.
George looks left.
George looks right.
George asks himself, “How are things ‘hangin,’” looks between his legs and says, “hangin fine,” and a Heaven-like choir chortles.
Then he does his seven verboten words bit, but finally has to stop when the laughter reaches Hiroshima-ic loudness levels.
“What the FUCK is going on here?”
Jesus walks out wearing shades, pants down low, top of his underwear showing, “Dude, ya made us laugh all these years! Can’t let the nasty guy get ya.”
George pauses…
“Damn it, damn it, DAMN IT, I KNEW I’d wind up in Hell.”
And the heavens ROARED with laughter.
George could not possibly be in an imaginary place.
Here he is in his own words on the concept of religion:

Not the point.
The point: to honor GC. Wherever he is, or isn’t, he will be missed: including his religious rants. And even if there’s any truth in heavens/hell/faith, “God” (for lack of the perfect term) certainly would have a sense of humor and would appreciate, love and cherish the cynic and the skeptic in George. Any other deity, Scribe would consider unworthy of such a worthy comic and commentator.
Was it out of character? Yup.
Again: not the point.
