A letter written by Albert Einstein, the renowned God of Physics and the incredible intellect, reveals his idea about the god. I've been lurking behind the subject for several years and am fed up. Now our great godfather of Physics seems to have an idea alike. I know it isn't a moot topic, neither it deserves to be dropped in the dustbin. After all our nation has become the most terror hit nation!
The letter was written to philosopher Eric Gutkind, published by a newspaper in London, The Guardian. The following paragraph is an extract. Original article here..
... 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. These subtilised interpretations are highly manifold according to their nature and have almost nothing to do with the original text. For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions. 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. As far as my experience goes, they are also 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.
