You inspired me to search for some more o...Thanks. You inspired me to search for some more of Einstein's quotes on the subject of religion/agnosticism/atheism. Here they are:<br /><br />You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being.<br />- Albert Einstein, letter to Guy H. Raner Jr., Sept. 28, 1949<br /><br />The bigotry of the nonbeliever is for me nearly as funny as the bigotry of the believer.<br />- Albert Einstein<br /><br />Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.<br />- Albert Einstein, Ideas and Opinions (1954)<br /><br />"We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn't know what it is."<br />(interesting, the same child metaphor I recently used in our discussion with Mel)<br /><br />"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."<br /><br />My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds.<br /><br />"That deep emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God."Limes Inferiorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566802367512396467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3667102307881687103.post-83037024149628335982011-02-20T14:44:25.355+00:002011-02-20T14:44:25.355+00:00"I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this i..."I am a deeply religious nonbeliever - this is a somewhat new kind of religion." ~ Albert EinsteinGermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16774085791414398989noreply@blogger.com
