Einstein

Somebody recently posted aquote from Einstein in which
he stated his disbelief in a personal god. Could you
please respost the reference?

Feel free to respond directly to me if you do not want
to waste BW.

Thanks,

tom

Its not surprising, his parents were secular Jews. He attended a Catholic
school for a few years but it's extraordinary strictness left him with a
distaste for authority.

Google, even in its current diminished state, is your friend; learn
to use it.

"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious
convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not
believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have
expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called
religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of
the world so far as our science can reveal it."

[Albert Einstein, 1954, from Albert Einstein: The Human Side, edited
by Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman, Princeton University Press]

Thank heaven. He managed to stay clear of the mind restricting influences
of religion.

He was a person I would love to have talked to, BUT I would not let him in
the same room with my sister!

Did not the shyster say "God has made me an authority unto myself" ?

Belief is one thing. Admission or rejection of belief (publically)
another thing.
Worship is quite another thing. All humans worship something and
Einstein
was no exception. I hope this clarifies your thinking...
