36. How Lame!
So insecure in your faith that you perpetuate phony stories about scientists to try to justify your childhood conditioning! Why not have Jesus saying this to a Pharisee? Is ol' Albert more convincing? http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/quotes/einstein.htm. Go here for a list a real Al quotes. I think you will find that Einstein's devoutness has been greatly overstated.

I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short, who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms.
-- Albert Einstein, obituary in New York Times, 19 April 1955, quoted from James A. Haught, "Breaking the Last Taboo"
This is but one of the gems you will find there. :evilgrin:
