Does Einstein have a religion?

Does Einstien have a religion?

No he did not.

Stop lying! Grow up! Youre making fools out of yourselves!

"For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people. "

"A man who is convinced of the truth of his religion is indeed never tolerant. At the least, he is to feel pity for the adherent of another religion but usually it does not stop there. The faithful adherent of a religion will try first of all to convince those that believe in another religion and usually he goes on to hatred if he is not successful. However, hatred then leads to persecution when the might of the majority is behind it. In the case of a Christian clergyman, the tragic-comical is found in this... "

"To take those fools in clerical garb seriously is to show them too much honor. "

"I am satisfied with the mystery of life's eternity and with a knowledge, a sense, of the marvelous structure of existence - as well as the humble attempt to understand even a tiny portion of the Reason that manifests itself in nature. "

"The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. "

In what ways do Einsteins atheism contradict his admiration for Jesus or the writings about Jesus or his belief that Jesus was real, as a historicalfigure?

Exactly, it doesnt. One can be able to admire a lot of things without believing in every thing about them. I, for example admire Bachs Mattheus Passion, and a lot of christian culture and art is beautiful, this does not mean i believe it to be true.


Please think next time.

Hes nor an atheist or pantheist, hes a determinist and doesnt believe in an afterlife. It seems, if you take my quotes in counting, that he had a very modern and good way of seeing religion.

according to one documentary einstein is a jew. but he blieves God has moved on, after creating our galaxy.

i was asked to post what i wrote in the shout box earlier... :

truth comes from God, not from men anyways, so why look what some "genious" thinks

people want to hide God, because they are afraid of the truth... so they rather not think about it whole their lifes

just pray to Jesus, to see if He's really there..


i hope you think about that

Yes, weve already established that spinoza was some kind of atheist'7pantheist. Which means he dont believe God is present in any kind of manifestation except creating the world, and according to spinoza he is also the world, the very substance of the world.

Truth is something we men figure out for ourselves in our brains. It does not come from "god". Not very lucid statements.

thats why i said you could pray and know the truth. divine communication is something science will never understand because God speaks when HE wants to and cannot be tested. That's why you need to be humble and pray.

Ok, nothing-buttery. I dont pray, i dont believe in god, still I can know stuff. That makes me believe that god doesnt care or doesnt matter.

Thats the point! why can i possibly live without god? that makes me rethink about the definition of god. GOD in my vocabulary is the infinity and everything and at the same time nothing. i can live with him or without him, no difference. We can of course deny the existence of the god as ONE, but if we do so, we have to admit and have actually admitted its from as ZERO, the other way round. 1 and 0, the basic component of the universe.

Sure. Your notion of god seems to resemble einstein and spinozas in some way.
Spinozas thought about god as the only substance, the "everything" made him a strict materialist and atheist.

wt do einstine and spinozas think about LOVE is? truth?

Spinoza has a long explanation about this thoughts on affections. You should seek out more of spinoza in a book.

Yes i understand. But like you said, you don't care to know Him, you should! Rather than just working as in some campaign for atheism, disbelief on God.

I suspect Einstein shared a slightly more amibguous view than that of Carl Sagan, speaking of which the audio of Pale Blue Dot, the book, is amazing and contains quite a lot devoted to this subject.
