You keep posting the same cut and pastes over and over again. Did you forget, or have you run out of ideas again?

“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.” Thank you for those GREAT quotes from Einstein! Definitely worth posting again! Notice he does not mind defending the happenstance of his tribal grouping; yet he in no wise falls victim to defending tribal ignorance on that accord. He is proud to be Jewish. But he is an enemy of ignorance wherever it is found. I know you and I have expressed those same beliefs on this board. I don’t know whether or not you are Jewish, but I know you do not suffer fools gladly or grant ignorance a positive value. Einstein & his God letter on Religion .....clear, concise, just tribal superstition. deism.com “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.” In the “God Letter” Einstein also covered the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament claim that the Hebrews/Jews are chosen by God “above all people that are upon the face of the earth.” ( Deuteronomy 7:6) when he wrote, “For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstition. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong ... have no different quality for me than all other people. As far as my experience goes, they are also no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything “chosen” about them.” Albert Einstein wrote this regarding his visit to the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem and watching religious Jews praying: "Where dull-witted clansmen of our tribe were praying aloud, their faces turned to the wall, their bodies swaying to and fro. A pathetic sight of men with a past but without a future." He also gave a warning regarding the Jewish state with, "Should we be unable to find a way to honest cooperation and honest pacts with the Arabs, then we have learned absolutely nothing during our 2,000 years of suffering and deserve all that will come to us."
