"EINSTEIN LETTER CALLS BIBLE 'PRETTY CHILDISH' "
'Childish' is hardly the final word. Let's add 'stupid' and
'benighted.'
More of Al's thoughts on "religion":
"I cannot conceive of a god who rewards and punishes
his creatures or has a will of the kind we experience
in ourselves. Neither can I=97nor would I want to=97
conceive of an individual that survives his physical
death. Let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egotism,
cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mys-
tery of the eternity of life and a glimpse of the mar-
velous structure of the existing world, together with
the devoted striving to comprehend a ****tion, be it
ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in
nature."
-- Albert Einstein
