You do realize that Einstein was a self proclaimed Agnostic?

I'm comfortable with that... it's the quote above that has the ring of truth about it, so that's why I decided to post it.

Here is a picture of me discussing this very thing. I tried to explain how the comment could be misinterpreted and used in error...but he seemed intent on offering it anyway.

Bill Responds:
That is fine with me also, I was just pointing out there are multiple readings of his quote. I do and did recognize yours and do respect it.

@Frank Apisa,
But it is so cool, I never knew I would be trading replies with a person who is 120+ years old. Who would of thunk it?

Religion is something I take away from no one! I would feel the same if you were Buddist, Hindi, Zorasta Farian, Muslim, Angnostic, Atheists, Animistic, etc.

Yes, if you take something like that away from someone... what happens if there's nothing to replace it... that can't be the correct thing to do... under most circumstances... I'd say.

My meaning isn't so esoteric, it is a personal meaning that a person chooses based on personal and family events. To me, there is but one God - no matter what you name her. And, btw, I normally do not capitalize god, why I have been recently I can not explain?

@igm,
This intuitive mind quote is a fake. I don't believe that Einstein ever said it. It was made up by some quack writer named Bob Stein who never gave a source.

Einstein apparently never said this or anything like it.

Comes up quick in a Google search, though.

@maxdancona,
I'm tempted to say how can you know that for certain? I'll just say that's not my polnt. To me it's what was said that matters and not who said it. Wise words are wise words and to me they convey an underlying truth.

@igm,
It is an idiotic quote. Too long for a fortune cookie, but about the same intellectual import.

The reason it was attached to Einstein was to distract people from how stupid it is.

Well you said it... so it must be true?!!! ... not... you should at least say "In my opinion" or "this scholarly biography of Einstein stated it" or "a handwritten letter signed by him contradicted it"... you defend science so don't state things that are hearsay if you want to be taken seriously... or don't bother me... with them.
