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

" 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.

The German-language letter is being sold Thursday by Bloomsbury Auctions in Mayfair after being in a private collection for more than 50 years, said the auction house's managing director Rupert Powell.


In it, the renowned scientist, who declined an invitation to become Israel's second president, rejected the idea that the Jews are God's chosen people.

"For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions," he said.

"And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people."

And he added: "As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them."

Previously the great scientist's comments on religion -- such as "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind" -- have been the subject of much debate, used notably to back up arguments in favour of faith.

Powell said the letter being sold this week gave a clear reflection of Einstein's real thoughts on the subject. "He's fairly unequivocal as to what he's saying. There's no beating about the bush," he told AFP."

well, there is a theory where an atom exploded to make billions of trillions of galaxies and planets, or, there are thousands of scriptures, proof, the fucken bible, paintings and history based on jesus christ the son of god.

so, are you stupid, or just plain immature?

science doesn't need its outlandish theoretical side to disprove the bible. We fucking went past the clouds into a thing called space. That means we flew past God's home and guess what? no one there. Adam and Eve? Disproven. Souls, disproven.

yu isa try suburbanite,,,spoke like a listless poision my sayes,,,,but yu wils find out one day,,,and maybe soone to,,that yu wasa rong bout it all,,,glory to God in the highest ......

the idea of heaven being in the sky is only a parable. heaven could be another plane of existance that one can't go to until dead.
adam and eve? probably more of a parable as well.
but there are many studies on the soul. inclduing people who are pronouced dead, then revived and report remembering things from the inbetween time frame. there was a also a study that show the weight of a person before death decreases right after death. suggesting that the soul has weight and exists.

Your weight decreases because you shit yourself when you die and the liquid in your body evaporates. Wolf, i know how much you LOVE fake science, but get your head out your ass. All your posts are the same, something which isn't the case is somehow true because you heard about a study. There is no soul. It is possible NEAR DEATH experience have induced people into premature releases of the chemical DMT which is found in all humans at the moment of birth and death. When ingested it can cause you to experience a bright light sensation and extremely hard to explain hallucinations. These people are just tripping. Don't romanticize death so much, we aren't primitive man.
To say there may be a soul or a god is fine, its comforting, but to assert that any of this can be proven with science is malarkey.
