Took that Eienstein 1914 manifesto off this gals site, baptist father, from Oklahoma but has traveled far & given some TED talks. Her radio show provides for newer, fresh "spacious" discussion of what it is that human beings should see as their faith now, has gone into national syndication & she's won her first Peabody. onbeing.org
Here is her TED talk on compassion where about 10:50 in she talks more specifically about Einstein's virtues & his love of his contemporary Gandhi. ted.com
She does go on to say we are all human, that Einstein, Gandhi, Martin Luther King & Mother Teresa were also deeply flawed & inadequate in places , so sent her a PM to remind her not to stop there, next time to include the rabbi Jesus who was most certainly human & even unhinged at times, when it came to certain people, fig trees & demon possesed pigs. Time to take the man down from the cross & let him be human again, which he always was to begin with, if a true story. (and of course Martin Luther the Jew hater)
Other than than this, have a soft spot in my heart for Oklahoma women, my best love was from there & now back working as a city attorney for Tulsa after helping her study and get thru law school. Some real nice people, Raini was a best lover , best friend & a very healthy beauty, very caring, very special & very non religious.
(she & her sister had to move out to Cali, sister was gay & had to get away, she was most certanily not, that was my lucky day ;o)) |
