Croc 0 #3 April 27, 2014 Albert Einstein was not an atheist in that he believed in a Supreme Being, although he was probably more liberal than conservative in his political outlook. Probably unwise to draw conclusions from a survey of this type."Here's a good specimen of my own wisdom. Something is so, except when it isn't so."

jgoose71 0 #5 April 27, 2014 From the Article: Quote The study takes the American view of liberal vs. conservative. It defines "liberal" in terms of concern for genetically nonrelated people and support for private resources that help those people. It does not look at other factors that play into American political beliefs, such as abortion, gun control and gay rights. "Liberals are more likely to be concerned about total strangers; conservatives are likely to be concerned with people they associate with," he said. If this is the yard stick that they are using to make the comparison, the Koch brothers are freaking liberal geniuses... Do you know how much money they have given away to people that are not genetically related?"There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

Coreece 189 #7 April 27, 2014 Personally, I think that posting 4-year old links in an obvious attempt to stereotype might be reflective of one's emotional intelligence. Honest question - Did you leave out "Sexual Exclusivity" from the OP title because that's something you and many others on this board might not particularly relate to?Your secrets are the true reflection of who you really are...

Tink1717 2 #14 April 27, 2014 Quote Albert Einstein was not an atheist in that he believed in a Supreme Being,...... Yes he was. Quote It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it. - Albert Einstein, letter to an atheist (1954), quoted in Albert Einstein: The Human Side, edited by Helen Dukas & Banesh Hoffman Atheist is what one is when one does not hold a belief in a deity, religion or dogma.Skydivers don't knock on Death's door.

Croc 0 #21 April 27, 2014 Einstein rejected the label atheist. Einstein stated: "I have repeatedly said that in my opinion the idea of a personal God is a childlike one. You may call me an agnostic, but I do not share the crusading spirit of the professional atheist whose fervor is mostly due to a painful act of liberation from the fetters of religious indoctrination received in youth. I prefer an attitude of humility corresponding to the weakness of our intellectual understanding of nature and of our own being."[1] According to Prince Hubertus, Einstein said, "In view of such harmony in the cosmos which I, with my limited human mind, am able to recognize, there are yet people who say there is no God. But what really makes me angry is that they quote me for the support of such views."[19] from Wikipedia."Here's a good specimen of my own wisdom. Something is so, except when it isn't so."

Tink1717 2 #22 April 27, 2014 Quote Einstein rejected the label atheist. Doesn't matter. If you hold no belief in a deity or religion, you're an atheist. Whether you accept the label or not. You might claim agnostic based on some intellectual position or empirical one, but that doesn't change one's status as far as the atheist title is concerned. Non belief is non belief, period. The reason why is not applicable.Skydivers don't knock on Death's door. They ring the bell and runaway... It really pisses him off. -The World Famous Tink. (I never heard of you either!!)

Croc 0 #25 April 27, 2014 (The following quotes are taken from The Quotable Einstein, Princeton University Press unless otherwise noted) "My religion consists of a humble admiration of the illimitable superior spirit who reveals himself in the slight details we are able to perceive with our frail and feeble minds. That deeply emotional conviction of the presence of a superior reasoning power, which is revealed in the incomprehensible universe, forms my idea of God." Perhaps a clearer example of his thinking."Here's a good specimen of my own wisdom. Something is so, except when it isn't so."
