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.
I mean this sincerely: you really need to seek help with your reading challenges.
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.
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.
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.
