Belief in God 'childish,' Jews not chosen people:

[nhboy (Premo)]

"LONDON (AFP) — Albert Einstein described belief in God as "childish superstition" and said Jews were not the chosen people, in a letter to be sold in London this week, an auctioneer said Tuesday.

The father of relativity, whose previously known views on religion have been more ambivalent and fuelled much discussion, made the comments in response to a philosopher in 1954.

As a Jew himself, Einstein said he had a great affinity with Jewish people but said they "have no different quality for me than all other people".

"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.

"No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this," he wrote in the letter written on January 3, 1954 to the philosopher Eric Gutkind, cited by The Guardian newspaper."

Thank you for the commentary.


Now, why don't you head on over to the Horses forums and write about how everyone who likes equestrian sports are a pack of snivelling retards.

Or go into a singles forums and tell everyone what lonely losers they are.


I'm sure there's all sorts of fun you can have if you try.

His bigotry against ideas other than non-religious ones is why he could not accept the Big Bang Theory - sounded too much like Genesis. Of course, it's the accepted theory, today.

More proof that scientists do NOT have open minds.
