The numbers in the chart are about as different if you compare the two belief
figures regarding giving life, too, though, except the devil's number would be
zero.
The differences include belief that God gave all life with the prerogative to
give whatever length, if any, or quality of life. Everyone dies, which would
account for God's big death number, minus whoever took it without the preroga-
tive, so God's giving life number would be bigger than his death number.
The belief includes that the best you can do with the good (like life) and bad
(like death) is be glad for your chance at it and the good you found in it (the
Job outlook). And the devil, who gave no life, would represent not even having
Job's outlook on life/God unless things suited him perfectly.
It's not a literal death number, but the devil would therefore also represent
however many had the choice but rejected a fully realized life in favor of a
purview of only the bad part of it, obsessing that it deprived him of perfec-
tion.
I liked George Carlin and thought he was funny in his pessimism about God and
life sometimes--the bad things are a real part of the picture. But would I
seriously be that simplistically pessimistic about life or God? For example,
one of the good things about life for me is that it gave me those I loved and
who loved me. I wouldn't count that for nothing for all the funniest pessimis-
tic jokes in the world. Assuming George felt the same way about life, if not
God, and the Job outlook works equally for either, I'll just figure he didn't
apply them equally and count the jokes as jokes.
