This was certainly not Einstein professing to be Atheist but rather an observation of how those that subscribe to a certain god, in this case a Jesuit priest, view those that do not subscribe to the same god.

He subscribed to the now mostly-abandoned god of Spinoza. You would have angered Einstien by posting this quote: “In the view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who says there is no God. But what makes me really angry is that they quote me for support of such views. http://www.goodreads.com/quotes/154695-in-the-view-of-such-harmony-in-the-cosmos-which RE: Christian Nutjob Ben Carson says Science is Satanic - oncemoreuntothejimbreech - 10-01-2015 (10-01-2015, 12:34 AM)Naranja Tigre Wrote: Evolution says man evolved from a common ancestor with primates, through a process that was, for lack of a better term, random. The bible says man was created by God, through a process that was by no means random. I simply don't see how it's possible to combine the two without taking away from each. I don't want to do that because of how much I respect both. Natural selection is not random. Once again, explain the development of MRSA during your lifetime. Your explanation will demonstrate how natural selection isn't random. To people who believe in a literal interpretation of Genesis they cannot unify evolution and Genesis. To people who don't believe in a literal interpretation and who actually have an analytical mind it is quite easy to analyze both to understand how God created the universe in which organisms evolve as part of His plan. I don't know why I seem angry to you. "Seem" implies an impression. And impression is an idea, feeling, or opinion. Whose impression are you discussing? Your's. Therefore, I can't tell you why you have a certain impression about me or anything else. Ask yourself why you feel the way you do. (See, kid, this is what people who have an analytical nature do. They analyze things. The don't "try not to think" about stuff. To analyze you have to think. When you try not to think you are doing the opposite of analyzing.)

Did he have any kids? It is quite easy to find that answer, but how is that related to the fact Pat Tillman was an atheist and in the military?

It implies that atheists turn to religion when they are scared. I know it is a saying. I asked how do you know. Because in my experience, the idiom is false.

Do you know her religion? (Psst, not a cabinet member.) This reminds me of the lie about the girl working the cash register at her family's restaurant who pretended to do homework whenever they had customers so the customers wouldn't know she was working the cash register. Ah, good times. Good times.

I agree and that's why I said as much in that exact some post.

I missed this one earlier on my tablet. The most simple way to really get down to it is what defines randomness? We do, right? It means without an intelligible pattern or unpredictable. Is there anything unpredictable to God? Can an omnipotent entity not do things that appear random to us but are not really?

Then you need to take a class in evolution at your "college." Quote:Something like 99% of mutations are bad and lead to the animal being unfit for survival, while 1% are beneficiary and lead to the animal out competing others and passing it's genes, which carry the mutation. This is a complete fabrication without any basis in fact. Take a genetics class at your "college." Quote:Didn't blue eyes in humans start as a mutation from one single person? Did they? Did Adam and Eve both have brown eyes? Eve was made from Adam's rib so shouldn't they be genetically identical? Or did God change Adam's genome when he created Eve? Oh, I know. . . You're such an analyzer you try not too analyze it because you have too much respect for evolution and Genesis.

Most of them grew out of it. I think one of your other characters pointed out 83% of Americans are Christian. That means most people are indoctrinated into Christianity from birth. The majority of atheist grow out of Christianity, not into it. Hmm, your opinion seems similar to someone else here. It's like déjà vu all over again.

I quoted him to support the fact that his concept of god was utterly foreign to anything like your anthropomorphic, Iron Age, good vs evil personal creator-god fables. Now, if I considered you intelligent, I would attempt to explain what Spinoza's ideas about "god" were (and why they are no longer feasible or necessary). But his ideas were pretty complex; doubtless it would fly right over your head, due in large part to your noted inability to correctly interpret the words you read. So I'm afraid I won't be bothered to waste my time.

Help me out with my reading comprehension: Where in that quote did he say he was angry at folks calling him an atheist? Read the quote again more slowly, determine what he really said made him angry, and understand that you did just that. Let me know when you understand.

First, I never said Einstein said he was angry at folks calling him an atheist. I asked-sincerely-if you thought I was using Einstein to support my atheism because I clearly said he was not an atheist. I have to ask these things with you; you seem to exist in a land of opposites. Second, had you finished reading the same exact post you quoted, you would have saw me respond directly to what Einstein said. Here, I'll quote the second half of that post and maybe you'll read it this time: Quote:Quote: Wrote:they quote me for support of such views.See that part? I didn't quote him to support atheism. I quoted him to support the fact that his concept of god was utterly foreign to anything like your anthropomorphic, Iron Age, good vs evil personal creator-god fables. Okay? Read whole posts before responding to them. Don't give up the second you read a sentence you think you might have a clever response to and rush to type it up. Otherwise you will continue to make a fool of yourself like this, raising points that have already been struck down in the very same post you're responding to.
