October The Twentieth

I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the actions of individuals, or who would directly sit in judgment of creatures of his own creation.
I cannot do this in spite of the fact that mechanistic causality has, to a certain extent, been placed in doubt by modern science.
My religiosity consists in a humble admiration in the infinitely superior spirit that reveals itself in the little that we, with our weak and transitory understanding, can comprehend of reality.
Morality is of the highest importance - but for us, not for God.

-- ALBERT EINSTEIN

  1. Your Pal likes this so so much. While the theoretical battles rage around us, it is truly not for God these battles are fought but our own small selves.
