priest54: Yes o, Einstein is a very foolish man. Imagine, how could he not believe that snakes were talking in the past, donkeys were speaking, and there was a flood that destroyed the whole world? Coincidentally, all these happened in a small enclave in the middle east. Einstein the foolish man. 14 Likes 3 Shares |

Growing up I was told that God created man in his own image.Later I found that it is actually man that created God in his own image God has human attributes:God is a male,God sees,God speaks,God is jealous, God is angry etc. God has never said anything. All u have heard God said is actually man telling u that "God said" I would really love to read this Einstein letter.Just finished Bertrand Russell's "Why I Am Not A Christian" 13 Likes 1 Share |

kereman1: If you've read the bible, you need not read the Quran as its just names, town and language that is the major difference. The confusion though is cultural expression in interpretation. The beginning of the two books has no difference.....But some will argue its not. My conclusion is one was and the other was a bit modified to make it look original 5 Likes |

I notice the op did a lazy job by not including the letter here, therefore creating a false impression Abraham Einesten reject God. Well, he do reject God, the kind of personal God that entire abrahimic theology surround. This is the full letter , read it yourself and understand his thought. "" Princeton, 3. 1. 1954 Dear Mr Gutkind, Inspired by Brouwer's repeated suggestion, I read a great deal in your book, and thank you very much for lending it to me. What struck me was this: with regard to the factual attitude to life and to the human community we have a great deal in common. Your personal ideal with its striving for freedom from ego-oriented desires, for making life beautiful and noble, with an emphasis on the purely human element. This unites us as having an "unAmerican attitude." Still, without Brouwer's suggestion I would never have gotten myself to engage intensively with your book because it is written in a language inaccessible to me. The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can change this for me. For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstition. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong, and whose thinking I have a deep affinity for, have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything "chosen" about them. In general I find it painful that you claim a privileged position and try to defend it by two walls of pride, an external one as a man and an internal one as a Jew. As a man you claim, so to speak, a dispensation from causality otherwise accepted, as a Jew the privilege of monotheism. But a limited causality is no longer a causality at all, as our wonderful Spinoza recognized with all incision, probably as the first one. And the animistic interpretations of the religions of nature are in principle not annulled by monopolization. With such walls we can only attain a certain self-deception, but our moral efforts are not furthered by them. On the contrary. Now that I have quite openly stated our differences in intellectual convictions it is still clear to me that we are quite close to each other in essential things, i.e; in our evaluations of human behavior. What separates us are only intellectual "props" and "rationalization" in Freud's language. Therefore I think that we would understand each other quite well if we talked about concrete things. With friendly thanks and best wishes, Yours, A. Einstein"" http://www.lettersofnote.com/2009/10/word-god-is-product-of-human-weakness.html?m=1 |

kereman1:I understand that you need a little guidance. Sometimes I think like you do, but honestly there reigns an Almighty God. what we think is immaterial. God exists. How did life come about here on earth? By chance? Look at the sophistication of human beings design - our eyes, ears, brain, etc and the complex functions they perform. Doesn't this show you that a being greater than us was responsible for all that intricacy of design? Was ever a building that was never conceived and built? Have u ever seen a car that no one labored at to bring to being? The bible is factual. Places mentioned in the bible are still here with us - the ruin of Babylon, Jerusalem, Syria, Egypt, Persia ( present day Iran), Mesopotamia, etc. That we do not understand certain things doesn't mean they are irrational or doesn't exist. It only means that our knowledge has limits. Look at the immensity of the universe. The stars, the planets, etc. Human beings are yet to unravel them all. In fact the proportion of the visible universe we have known is only less than one billionth of the universe. Think of all these. That I do not understand Latin or Greek doesn't mean these languages are unintelligible. Again, a devil exists. It also has powers. But God is far greater. The devil gives you gifts that add sorrows. God gives of His fullness. Thus while you may have to sacrifice and do rituals to propagate demonically, God gives you freely and in all fullness. The choice is yours. 2 Likes |

openmine: Thank you. It is surprising that Einstein wrote something like that. My first time of hearing it. He as enigma had many quotes attributed to existence of the Divine God...most likely towards the end of his life his hyper intelligence, IQ, got the better of him. Charles Darwin too started a believer then until something happened in his latter years. Sometimes Too much knowledge and grand personal achievements can be dangerous. God is R E A L and much more! Don't quote me if your belief is contrary. Argument, not today |
