It is interesting to me as well, that the writer in the above article states that he and fellow unbelievers will burn, I guess because God has given to every man a measure of faith to believe in him, and because he has chosen to reject God his own concious is condeming him. Sad.

I am not sure if you were serious or joking with the statement on Einstein, but in case you did not know Einstein was an Atheist.

I think we have all read enough to know these individuals were non religious to the point of being agnostic or atheist. I find it strange a well read person would make a comment such as this on these individuals.

Avec peur, I'll have to say, I didn't say you were saying he was. I just wanted to make sure
Besides, I got a kick out of your compelling urge to come to the defence of 6/8. Did the 2/8 quotient make you gnash your teeth?

And their vague followers who desperately quote them. It feeds their insecurities.
They're like.... I can never understand relativity. So Einstein is a genius. He is an atheist. Now that's something I can do. It's easy.

And the onus passes on to "finding it strange" about a "well read person". The wolf found it strange the grapes are perched so high. The grapes were still grapes.
This is called the diffraction effect. Hit into a stalemate and tend to physics one's way out, deriving personal gratification on blunting something of selective distaste, a feel-good methodology

I find this interesting as well...You have nothing to add to the topic but criticism of some of the posters. Am I wrong or is this a pattern?

Strange you would say that......I have seen no opinion expressed by you in this thread at all, so how can you say that it is devalued? What is your opinion on the topic?
