Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

%26quot;During the youthful period of mankind%26#039;s spiritual evolution, human fantasy created gods in man%26#039;s own image who, by the operations of their will were supposed to determine, or at any rate influence, the phenomenal world... The idea of God in the religions taught at present is a sublimation of that old conception of the gods. Its anthropomorphic character is shown, for instance, by the fact that men appeal to the Divine Being in prayers and plead for the fulfillment of their wishes... In their struggle for the ethical good, teachers of religion must have the stature to give up the doctrine of a personal God, that is, give up that source of fear and hope which in the past placed such vase power in the hands of priests.%26quot; Albert Einstein, reported in Science, Philosophy and Religion: A Symposium, edited by L. Bryson and

I agree with just about everything ole uncle Albert had to say. My favorite is: 閳ユ翻he world is a dangerous place. Not because of the people who are evil; but because of the people who don%26#039;t do anything about it.閳?br>



%26#039;Nuff said?



Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

I agree with it completely, I mean he uses logic and common sense to come to his conclusions. I have felt that way for a long time, especially after I really studied the origins of my religion.



Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

My thoughts, exactly!



But %26quot;vase power in the hands of priests.%26quot; is %26quot;VAST power%26quot;!



See how the interpretations/copies differ from original?



Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

Yeah i agreed up untill the end. I have to say that that it is not just in the past this vast power was in the hands of the priests..... but today also.



Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

Sounds reasonable, for the most part.



Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

such wisdom flies over most peoples heads



Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

Religion was created to control the masses, to give some people a reason to exist. That was way back when, now religion is a joke that causes wars.



Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

Yes, almost entirely.



I believe tthat people should give up on supernatural religion altogether. In an organised and informed way or course.

Yes.



Rev. Steven



Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

In a lot of ways, yes. I was raised to believe in God, but I never could quite accept a fully formed Earth and all in it were just there.



Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

yes. i agree

EINSTEIN:



Well, I do not think that it is necessarily the case that science and religion are natural opposites. In fact, I think that there is a very close connection between the two. Further, I think that science without religion is lame and, conversely, that religion without science is blind. Both are important and should work hand-in-hand. It seems to mc that whoever doesn%26#039;t wonder about the truth in religion and in science might as well be dead.

GOD IS A SPIRIT AND WE CAN ONLY UNDERSTAND HIM IF WE HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT FROM HIM



Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

yep.



thnx 4 the 2



Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

No, I do not agree with what he is saying.



God IS. He has always been and He always will be.



Mankind did not make Him up.



However mankind does make gods in man%26#039;s image for a variety of reason. There are probably almost as many manmade gods as there are men.



I have learned this not from teachers of religion but from reading the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. I have a personal relationship with my heavenly Father. How could I possibly step back from that and say that I don%26#039;t.



I have learned that the uncreated Creator is good all the time, whereas mankind is good sometimes. God is infinite, whereas mankind is finite, very finite.



Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

Yes.



Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

To be honest I didn%26#039;t understand it fully to be able to make a



competent decision. I didn%26#039;t realize Al said this. I%26#039;ve always admired his mind. And I use him as my Icon on MySpace.



Do you agree with this Einstein quote?

He was a brilliant man, too bad such great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. They cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices, but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence.
