"The word God is the product of human weakness" a letter from Albert Einstein

In January of 1954, just a year before his death, Albert Einstein wrote the following letter to philosopher Eric Gutkind after reading his book, 'Choose Life: The Biblical Call to Revolt'. The letter that was expected to sell for £8,000 was bought at auction in May 2008, for £170,000. Read the very well written and polite response below.



Translated Transcript

Princeton, 3. 1. 1954

Dear Mr Gutkind,

Inspired by Brouwer’s repeated suggestion, I read a great deal in your book, and thank you very much for lending it to me ... With regard to the factual attitude to life and to the human community we have a great deal in common. Your personal ideal with its striving for freedom from ego-oriented desires, for making life beautiful and noble, with an emphasis on the purely human element ... unites us as having an “American Attitude.”

Still, without Brouwer’s suggestion I would never have gotten myself to engage intensively with your book because it is written in a language inaccessible to me. The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weakness, the Bible a collection of honorable, but still purely primitive, legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this. ... For me the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstition. And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong ... 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.

In general I find it painful that you claim a privileged position and try to defend it by two walls of pride, an external one as a man and an internal one as a Jew. As a man you claim, so to speak, a dispensation from causality otherwise accepted, as a Jew of monotheism. But a limited causality is no longer a causality at all, as our wonderful Spinoza recognized with all incision...

Now that I have quite openly stated our differences in intellectual convictions it is still clear to me that we are quite close to each other in essential things, i.e. in our evaluation of human behavior ... I think that we would understand each other quite well if we talked about concrete things.

With friendly thanks and best wishes,

Yours,

A. Einstein

Mormons Are Normal And Mainstream

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (I prefer to call them COJCOLDS) has started an advertising program both on commercial radio and television (in selected US markets) and on the Internet to show just how "Normal" and "Mainstream" they are. So, in an effort to help them, based on his many years in the Mormon Church, Flat Lander, the Bishop of the new Moron Church prepared this video of things that the Mormon Church actually do and believe. Decide for yourselves how "normal" and "mainstream" Mormons are.


After watching this informative and funny video I wanted to see if there were any famous exMormons out there; I was surprised and happy at what I found.











Ryan Gosling, he's "religious but nondenominational"

Westboro Baptist Church North Texas Hate Tour 2010

The fine folks from Westboro Baptist will be in Dallas and Arlington tomorrow (7/9) and Sunday (7/11). They won't be picketing the funerals of dead soldiers this time but instead they will be picketing the Dallas Holocaust Museum (classy), a few Jewish community centers, a Gay and Lesbian center, Fielder Road Baptist Church in Arlington, and two Catholic Churches. I'm definitely going to their picket at the Gay and Lesbian center to witness this hilarious debacle for myself.


Dallas - 7/9 - 2:15-2:45pm
Dallas Holocaust Museum 211 North Record Street, Suite 100 WBC to picket the Dallas Holocaust Museum to remind the Jews that the Lord their God caused the Holocaust. They broke His Commandments, despised His laws and crucified the Messiah. For these sins, the Lord cast them into the hands of evil men to do with as they pleased. Jeremiah 19:3 And say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle. 4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;

Dallas - 7/9 - 3:00-3:30pm
Jewish Community Center of Dallas 7900 Northaven Road WBC will picket the Jewish Community Center of Dallas to remind the Jews that they are cursed for killing Christ, the son of the true and living God. They still refuse to repent of their sins to this day. Matthew 27:24 When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it. 25 Then answered all the people(they were Jews!), and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.

Dallas - 7/9 - 3:35-4:15pm
Texas Jewish Post 7920 Belt Line Road, Suite 680 WBC will picket the Texas Jewish Post of Dallas to remind you Jews that the Lord has confounded your leaders and they have lead you astray. You have served other gods and now the Lord fulfills his promise toward you as such: Deuteronomy 31:16 And the LORD said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have made with them. 17 Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us? 18 And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto other gods.

Dallas - 7/9 - 4:30-5pm
Yavneh Academy of Dallas 12324 Merit Drive WBC will picket the Yavneh Academy of Dallas to remind this nation that the teachers and parents (in particular, Jewish parents and teachers), of this next generation are lying to these children about God. The parents and teachers are to blame for the sky-high rate of youth fornication, abortion, murder, drug abuse, suicide and demon possession(also called mental illness). They teach the children that it is OK to be gay, that God is a liar and that they can live for the devil himself but still go to heaven without repenting. Deuteronomy 28:41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity. Remember the Lord your God, Jews of Dallas, and how He let your ancestors be carried away into captivity by the Assyrians and Babylonians. More and worse is coming at the hand of your God!

Dallas - 7/9 - 6:15-6:45pm
Congregation Beth el Binah at the Gay & Lesbian Center 2701 Reagan Street WBC will picket Congregation Beth el Binah at the John Thomas Gay and Lesbian Center of Dallas to remind them that the Lord, who destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for being a bunch of filthy fags, still reigns sovereign. How much worse will it be for this generation of sodomites, having had that example of the Lord's wrath poured out? Luke 10:10 But into whatsoever city ye enter, and they receive you not, go your ways out into the streets of the same, and say, 11 Even the very dust of your city, which cleaveth on us, we do wipe off against you: notwithstanding be ye sure of this, that the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you. 12 But I say unto you, that it shall be more tolerable in that day for Sodom, than for that city. The perverts of Dallas have a history of rejecting the true Gospel preaching of WBC. They will soon see a repeat of the Lord's wrath poured out as it was on Sodom first hand.

Dallas - 7/11 - 8:30-9am
Chabad of Dallas 6710 Levelland Road WBC to picket the Jews at Chabad of Dallas where they teach lies and traditions of men that encourage sin instead of teaching the commandments of God. Why will ye die, Jews? Eze 18:31 - Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby ye have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die, O house of Israel? Why do you continue to provoke your God to wrath with your rebellion? God has promised to restore you -- 144,000 of you, that is -- who will look upon him who you pierced and mourn for your dreadful sins. The majority of you will never repent and will face a destruction that will make the holocaust look like a tea party -- all at the hands of Anti-Christ Beast Obama, and very soon now. Come out from among them, and repent! We will help you, God willing. Hallelujah! Amen!

Arlington - 7/11 - 9-9:30am
Fielder Road Baptist Church 1323 West Pioneer Parkway WBC will picket Fielder Road Baptist Church to remind these so-called Christians that by paying preachers to lie, they are incurring God's wrath. The pay the preaches to tell them that they each have free-will and that their fate is in their own hands rather than God's. Further, the people do not want to OBEY nor do they want to hear the truth about the wages of their sin (hint: death.) They prefer to hear preacher tell them that they control their own destiny and that God is a liar and didn't mean it when He said He would send the unrepentant to Hell. Isaiah 30:9 That this is a rebellious people(i.e. doomed americans), lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: 10 Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: 11 Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.

Dallas - 7/11 - 9:45-10:30am
Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadelupe 2215 Ross Avenue WBC to picket the Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadelupe to remind these people that Priests Rape Boys. Catholics pay the priests to lie on God and tell them that they do not have to obey. God promised he would curse you if you would not obey, hence He sends pedophile priests to rape your children. The parents continue to send their children to this pedophile machine masquerading as a church because they don't want to put away their sin and repent! 2 Peter 2:9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished. Titus 1: 15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. 16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Arlington - 7/11 - 10:45-11:30am
Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church 2100 North Davis Drive WBC to picket the Most Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church of Dallas to remind these hard-hearted Catholics that Priests Rape Boys. Catholics pay the priests to lie on God and tell them that they do not have to obey. God promised he would curse you if you would not obey, hence He sends pedophile priests to rape your children. The parents continue to send their children to this pedophile machine masquerading as a church because they don't want to put away their sin and repent! 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

NASCAR Bible...Dang!



NASCAR Bible makes me think of this...


"Dear Lord baby Jesus, lyin' there in your ghost manger, just lookin' at your Baby Einstein developmental videos, learnin' 'bout shapes and colors. I would like to thank you for bringin' me and my mama together, and also that my kids no longer sound like retarded gang-bangers." Ricky Bobby

"I like to think of Jesus as a mischievous badger." Cal Naughton, Jr

"I had a dream where Jesus was a dirty old bum, and I was about to sock him in the face because, well he's a dirty old bum, but then I thought, there's something special about him.." Cal Naughton, Jr

"I like to think of Jesus as an Ice Dancer, dressed in an all-white jumpsuit, and doing an interpretive dance of my life." Cal Naughton, Jr

"I like to picture Jesus in a tuxedo T-Shirt because it says I want to be formal, but I'm here to party." Cal Naughton, Jr

"I like to think of Jesus like with giant eagles wings, and singin' lead vocals for Lynyrd Skynyrd with like an angel band and I'm in the front row and I'm hammered drunk!" Cal Naughton, Jr

"[running around on the track in his underwear] Help me Jesus! Help me Jewish God! Help me Allah! AAAAAHHH! Help me Tom Cruise! Tom Cruise, use your witchcraft on me to get the fire off me!" Ricky Bobby

Texas Gov. Rick Perry, "God or Government, Who do You Worship"


This is an excerpt of Gov. Rick Perry's 14 minute speech to the Conservative Texas Eagle Forum where he lays out his idea for a religious crusade to take back the soul of the country. This event was on Thursday just before the kick off of the Texas GOP Convention:

"We will raise our voices in defense of our values and in defiance of the hollow precepts and shameful self-interests that guide our opponents on the left," Perry said to the receptive audience.

He said the November election is bigger than "red states and blue states, conservatives or liberals, stimulus or budget cuts."

"We are in a struggle for the heart and soul of our nation," Perry said.

"That's the question: Who do you worship? Do you believe in the primacy of unrestrained federal government? Or do you worship the God of the universe, placing our trust in him?"
