Einstein was not a theist. He wasn't even a deist. No matter how often theists try to pretend he was one of them by quote mining him out of context, he was not, so stop it.
And we have proof.
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 (for me) change this. ... For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstition.Suck on that, theists.
4 wisdomy word(s):
This makes me happy.
Me too :)
I'm so, so sorry, but I just couldn't resist. :):):) From the man himself:
"In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views."
Nah, nah...you made Einstein mad. hahahaha :)
Anyway, just teasing. Einstein definitely didn't believe in a personal god that had any care for, or interest in, human lives. Which is (IMO) the god he's describing in the quote in your post.
Indeed. I wasn't saying he believed there was no god, but that he obviously didn't believe in gods. Both beliefs are atheistic.
