In fact,I‘m going to put it this way。

If there is a God,if there is a God,may he strike this audience dead。

See,nothing happened,nothing happe-ned。Everybody’s okay, all right。

But in the bullshit department, in the bullshit department,a businessman can -‘t hold a candle to a clergyman。

事實上,我會這樣說。如果有上帝,如果有上帝的話,願他將觀眾擊死。看,什麼都沒發生,什麼都沒有發生。大家都沒事,好。但在鬼扯方面,在鬼扯方面,商人也不能與牧師相比。

Cause l got to tell you the truth,folks,l got to tell you the truth,when it comes to bullshit,big time,major league bullsh-it,you have to stand in awe,in awe of the all time champion of false promises and exaggerated claim,religion ,no co- ntest。No contest。

因為我必須告訴你真相,夥計們,我必須告訴你們真相,當涉及到鬼扯,大範圍的、第一流的鬼扯,你必須肅然起敬,敬畏這個虛假承諾和誇大宣傳的一直以來的冠軍,宗教,誰也比不了。誰也比不了。

Religion,religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told。

Think about it,religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisi-ble man living in the sky,who watches everything you do,every minute of eve-ry day and the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do。

宗教,宗教無疑有有史以來最大的鬼扯故事。考慮一下,宗教真的讓人們相信,有一個隱形人生活在天空中,他每天的每一分鐘都看著你做每一件事,這個隱形人有一個特別的清單,列出了他不想讓你做的十件事(十誡)。

And if you do any of these ten things,h-e has a special place full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish,where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever till the end of time。

並且如果你做了這十件事中的任何一件,他有一個特別的地方,充滿了火焰、煙霧、燃燒、折磨和痛苦,他會送你到那裡生活、受苦、燃燒、窒息、尖叫和哭泣,永遠直到時間盡頭。

But he loves you。He loves you。He loves you and he needs money。He always needs money。

He‘s all powerful ,all perfect,all knowing and all wise somehow just can’t handle money。

Religion takes in billions of dollars,they pay no taxes and they always need a little more。

Now you talk about a good bullshit story,holy shit!

Thank you。Thank you。But thank you very much。

但是他愛你(諷刺),他愛你,他愛你並且他需要錢,他永遠需要錢。他全能、完美、無所不知、充滿智慧,但不知為什麼,他就是不會理財。宗教進賬數十億美元,他們不交稅,他們總是需要多一點。現在你說的是一個符合標準的的鬼扯故事,聖潔的鬼扯!謝謝,謝謝,但是非常感謝。

But l want you to know,l want you to know something,this is sincere,l want you to know,when it comes to believing in God。

I really tried。I really,really tried,l tried to believed that there is a God who creat-ed each of us in his own image and lightness,loves us very much and keeps a close eye on things。

但是我想讓你知道,我想讓你知道一些事情,這是真誠的,我想讓你知道,當談到信仰上帝的時候。我是真的嘗試過,我真的,真的嘗試過,我試著去相信上帝存在,他以他自己的形象和標準創造了我們每個人,他非常愛我們並且密切關注著事情。

I really tried to believe that。But I got to tell you the longer you live,the more you look around,the more you realize something is *ed up,something is wro-ng here。

War,disease,death,destruction,hunger,fi-lth,poverty,torture,crime,curruption a-nd the ice Capades,something is defini-tely wrong。

This is not good work。If this is the best God can do,I‘m not impressed。

我真的試著去相信這件事,但我必須告訴你,你活得越久,你越環顧四周,你就越意識到事情一塌糊塗,這裡出了問題。戰爭、疾病、死亡、破壞、飢餓、汙穢、貧窮、酷刑、犯罪、腐敗和白雪溜冰團,肯定是出了問題。這做的並不好,如果這是上帝所能做的最好的事情,我沒有印象(失望)。

Results like these do not belong on the resume of a superme being。

This is the kind of shit you’d expect from an office temp with a bad attitude。

And just between you and me,between you and me, in any decently run univer-se this guy would have been out on his all-powerful ass a long time ago。

And by the way,I say this guy because I firmly believe, looking at this results, that if there is a God,it has to be a man。No woman could or would ever *things up like this。

這樣的結果不屬於超人的履歷。這是一種狗屎,你對一個態度不好的辦公室臨時工的期望。並且就在你我之間,你我之間,在任何一個執行良好的宇宙中,這個傢伙很早以前就屁滾尿流了。順便說一句,我之所以說這個人,是因為我堅信,從這個結果來看,如果有上帝,那一定是一個男人。沒有一個女人能夠也不會像這樣搞砸。

So,so,if,if,if there is a God,if there is,I think most reasonable people might agree that he‘s at least incompetent and maybe,just maybe doesn’t give a shit。

Doesn‘t give a shit,which I admire in a person and which would explain a lot of these bad results。

所以,所以,如果,如果,如果有上帝,如果有上帝的話,我想大多數理智的人都會同意,他至少是不稱職的,也許,只是也許根本不在乎,一點都不在乎,這是我對一個人的欽佩,這可以解釋很多糟糕的結果。

So rather than be just another mindless religious robot,mindlessly and aimlessly and blindly believing that all of this is in the hands of some apooky incompetent father argure who doesn’t give a shit,I decided to look around for something else to worship。

Something I could really count on and immediately I thought of the sun。Happ-ened Iike that。

因此,與其只是一個無腦的宗教機器人,無腦地、無目的地、盲目地相信這一切都掌握在某個可怕的無能的一點兒也不在乎神父的手中,我決定四處尋找其他東西來崇拜。我真的可以指望的東西,我立刻想到了太陽。就這樣發生了。

Overnight I became a sun worshiper。 Well,not overnight,you can‘t see the sun at night,but first thing the next morning ,I became a sun worshiper。

Several reasons,first of all I can see the sun,okay?Yeah。

Unlike some other God’s I could mention,I can actually see the sun。I‘m big on that。

If I can see something,I don’t know,it kind of helps the creditability along ,you know?

一夜之間,我成了一個太陽崇拜者。好了,不是一整晚,你晚上看不到太陽,但第二天一早,我成了一個太陽崇拜者。有幾個原因,首先我能看到太陽,對吧?是的。不像我能提到一些其他的上帝,我能真的看到太陽。我很喜歡這個。如果我能看到一些東西,我不知道,這多少有助於提高可信度,對吧?

So everyday I can see the sun as it gives me everything I need,heat,light, food, flowers in the park, reflectiong on the lake,an occasional skin cancer ,but ,hey,at least there were no crucifixions and were not setting people on fire simply because they don‘t agree with us。

所以每天我都能看到太陽給我所需要的一切,熱量、光線、食物、公園裡的鮮花、湖面上的倒影、偶然的面板癌,但是,嘿,至少沒有被釘十字架,也沒有僅僅因為他們不同意我們的觀點而放火焚燒。

Sun worship is fairly simple,there’s no mystery ,no miracles,no pageantry,no one asks for money,there are no songs to learn and we don‘t have special building where we all gather once a week to compare clothing。

And the best thing,the best thing about the sun,it never tells me I’m unworthy。Doesn‘t tell me I’m a bad person who needs to be saved。

Hasn‘t said an unkind word。Treats me fine。

太陽崇拜很簡單,沒有神秘,沒有奇蹟,沒有隆重的儀式,沒有人要錢,沒有歌曲(聖歌)要學,我們沒有每個星期都要全部聚集一次來比較衣服的特別的建築。最好的是,太陽最好的地方,它從不告訴我我不值得。不告訴我我是個需要被拯救的壞人。它沒有說一句刻薄的話,對我很好。

So to get around a lot of this,I decided to worship the sun,but as I said I don’t pray the sun。

You know who I pray to,Joe Peshi。Joe Peshi。Joe Peshi。

Two reasons,first of all I think he‘s a good actor,okay?To me that counts。

Second, he looks like a guy who can get things done。Joe Peshi doesn’t

* around。 Doesn‘t *around。

所以為了避免很多這樣的情況,我決定崇拜太陽,但正如我所說,我不向太陽祈禱。你知道我向誰祈禱,喬·佩希(好萊塢著名影星),喬·佩希,喬·佩西。有兩個原因,首先我認為他是個好演員,不對嗎?對我來說這算數。其次,他看起來像一個能把事情辦好的傢伙。喬·佩希不會亂搞,不會亂搞。

In fact,in fact,Joe Peshi came through on a couple of things that God was hvaing trouble with。

For years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbor with the bark- ing dog。Joe Peshi straightened that*out with one visit。

It’s amazing what you can accomplish with a simple baseball bat。

So I‘ve been praying to Joe for about a year now and I noticed something。

事實上,事實上,喬·佩西解決了幾件上帝都苦惱的事情。我曾經請求上帝對我那有隻吠叫的狗的吵鬧的鄰居做些什麼。喬·佩西一次拜訪就解決了這個問題。真是太神奇了,一隻簡單的棒球棒你就能解決問題。所以我現在已經向喬祈禱了大約一年了,並且我注意到了一些事情。

I noticed that all the prayers I used to offer to God and all the prayers I now offer to Joe Peshi are being answered at about the same fifty percent rate。

Half the time I get what l want,half the time l don’t。

Same as God,fifty-fifty。Same as the four-leaf clover and horseshoe, the wishing wall and the rabbit‘s foot。Same as the Mojo man。Same as the Voodoo lady,who tells you your fortune by squeezing the goat’s testicles,it‘s all the same fifty-fifty。

我注意到,我過去向上帝提出的所有祈禱和現在向喬·佩西提出的所有禱告都得到了大約50%的回覆。一半時間我得到了我想要的,一半時間我沒有。和上帝一樣,五五開。與四葉苜蓿、幸運馬掌、許願牆和幸運兔子腳一樣。和巫師一樣,和巫婆一樣,她透過擠壓山羊的睪丸來告訴你你的命運,這一切都是一樣五五開。

So just pick your superstition,sit back ,make a wish and enjoy yourself and for those of you who look to the Bible for a moral lessons and literary qualities, I might suggest a couple of other stories for you。

You might want to look at the Three Little Pigs,that’s a good one。Has a nice happy ending。I‘m sure you’ll like that。

所以,請剔除你的迷信,坐下來,許個願,盡情享受,對於那些希望從聖經中獲得道德教訓和文學品質的人,我可能會為你推薦一些其他故事。你可能想看看《三隻小豬》,這是一部不錯的電影。有一個美好的結局。我相信你會喜歡的。

Then there‘s Little Red Riding Hood althought it does that have X-rated part where the big bad wolf actually eats the grandmother,which I didn’t care for by the way。

And finally l‘ve often always drawn a great deal of moral comfort from Humpty Dumpty。

The part I like the best,all the king’s horses and all the king‘s men couldn’t put Humpty Dumpty back together again。

That‘s because there is no Humpty Du- mpty and there is no God。

然後是《小紅帽》,儘管它有成人的部分,大灰狼實際上吃掉了祖母,我並不在乎,順便說一句。最後,我強烈推薦鵝媽媽這個故事裡的蛋頭先生。我最喜歡的部分是,所有國王的馬和所有國王的人都不能再把蛋頭先生放在一起。這是因為沒有蛋頭先生,沒有上帝。

None,not one,no God,never was。

In fact,I’m going to put it this way,if there is a God,if there is a God,may he strike this audience dead。

See nothing happened。

Everybody‘s okay all right。

Tell you what,tell you what,I’ll raise the stakes,I‘ll raise the stakes a little bit。

以前沒有,現在沒有,將來也沒有上帝,從來沒有。事實上,我將這樣說,如果有上帝,如果有一個上帝,願他把觀眾擊死。看,什麼都沒發生。每個人都好好的,對吧。告訴你們,告訴你們,我來提高賭注,我來把賭注提高一點。

If there is a God,may he strike me dead。

See nothing happened,wait,I got a little cramp in my leg and my balls hurt。Plus, I’m blind。

Now I‘m okay again,must have been Joe Peshi。

如果有上帝,願他把我擊死。看,什麼也沒發生。等等,我的腿抽筋了,我的球也疼了。另外,我眼睛也盲了。現在我又沒事了,一定是喬·佩西。

God bless Joe Peshi。

Thank you all very much。

Joe bless you。

Thank you all very much。

I appreciate it。

上帝保佑喬·佩西,非常感謝你們,喬·佩西保佑你們,非常感謝你們,我很感激。
