WHOA, Buttercup! Easy on the stupid pills! What is this obsession with atheism? Let us look at my original post: "Atheists are the scum of the earth" (from lonhnshort) Me (sarcastically): "Especially Einstein, Russell, and Hawking. Idiots, too! Too bad they will never know how important they are to you and how they live in your funny head! Hmmm...he hates atheists and he thinks Christianity is make believe. I wonder what longnshort believes in... AIEEEEEEEE! Message 29405519 Now notice that longnshort then takes exception to Einstein being included with Russell and Hawking because he (correctly) quotes Einstein claiming to be an agnostic. Since that post I have said (in every single post I have made about Einstein) that he was an agnostic who believed that a personal god belief was for "feeble minds"! So your continued denials that Einstein was an atheist may be giving your gums exercise...but they are not making you any points! Indeed, as I said: What is with the overdosing on stupid pills?? I corrected my error in Einstein's atheism (he claimed to be an agnostic with a disdain for the idea of a personal god) at least a dozen times? So your sputtering and misrepresentations only show that you are a very very disobedient Christian!--I.E. a PHONEY and a BLACKGUARD!! "Why then do you feel the need to call him a liar and pretend he was an Atheist?" Mrs. Christian? Did I call Einstein a liar? Or am I calling you one?? Again...Einstein claimed he was an agnostic. He did not believe in a personal god (he thought Christianity and such was "feeble-minded"), but he thought agnosticism was a more humble label than atheism. I agree with him. I believe agnostic is more tactful. But atheist is more honest, IMO. Other than that, I do not remark a significant difference in meaning. Neither agnostic nor atheist can be accused of ignorant, superstitious credulity. "So He thought he was less than a WORM" You are making stuff up as usual. He was an important man to a lot of people and still is. It is only in the cosmic sense that he is equal to a worm. But don't feel slighted. In the cosmic sense, YOU are equal to Einstein. So give yourself a pat on your lard. HA!
