Right, because we believe in something there's no proof for or against. So I suppose all people that believe in abiogenesis among other origins of life are also morons for believing in something with the same amount of evidence? Thanks for clearing that all up for me.
And how is this not prejudice? By your standard Albert Einstein, Kierkegard, Devinci, Plato, Ben Stine, are all morns. And these are only a few of the 'household' names. There are literally countless others that aren't as well known. You have pretty much just said that you are mor intelligent than 'all' of those people simply because of their affiliations. That is as blatently prejudical and bigotrous as anything.Quote:
And therefore, all Christians are fundamentally morons. As are Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, etc.
It's not a matter of opinion. If you say 2+2=5, you are wrong. It doesn't matter if a billion other people think the same. It's still wrong.
Einstein: Was an atheist. Go look it up.
Kierkegard: No clue who that is.
DeVinci: In his time, people were regularly executed for public displays of atheism. We can't conclude anything based on his writings.
Plato: I doubt Plato was Jewish...
Ben Stein: He is a fucking moron.
To clear it up, Einstein believed in a god. Now he also said he did not believeQuote:
Albert Einstein
"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
"I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details."
"God is subtle but he is not malicious."
''God does not care about our mathematical difficulties. He integrates empirically."
''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 mind.''
''Before God we are all equally wise - and equally foolish.''
"I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice."
"When the solution is simple, God is answering."
in an individual God the way most of us view God. (But he also admitted that due to the structure of the universe he admitted it was very possible.) He wasn't part of a sect. But he was not an 'atheist.' In fact, many times he expressed a deep admiration for religion. Especially particularly devoted Jews and Christian's. Here is the qoute about his particular religion. He did state that believing in a collective religion or book could be an honoralbe goal but a somewhat childish one.
Plato was as much for a structured religion as any person.
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."
That last quote was the one I was thinking of. I don't know how you can call that religious. It's deism at best, and that's a big stretch.
This will clear up Einstein, or should.

Einstein did not believe in the traditional christian God. This is obvious. However he was not an aetheist.
Read The World as I See it. It's a great book in which Einstein talks about pantheism and Baruch Spinoza. Free online copy
Agreed that ben stein is a moron. Bueller....
