Just thanks so much for these words. No matter who wrote them.

We live in times where thinking about the message is left aside while quibbling about the author takes all the place...

Not to put a damper on a beautiful homily.

"Said to have been penned by comedian George Carlin, the Dalai Lama, an unnamed Columbine High School student, and even to the elusive Anonymous, the true author of this essay is Dr. Bob Moorehead, a former pastor of Seattle’s Overlake Christian Church. This essay appears as “The Paradox of Our Age” in Words Aptly Spoken, Dr. Moorehead’s 1995 collection of prayers, homilies, and monologues."

I don’t take the least bit of Snopes seriously. And maybe George recited it. He wasn’t a writer. He was a stand up comedian. Anyhow the points made are what are most important. And I’m sure it won’t be the last time I repeat something that was not exactly as intended. Sorry.

Fixed. Thanks for letting me know. I don’t like spreading false attributions if at all possible.
