He took it personally. GOOD!
Sorry to disappoint, but I don't take your cognitive failures personally in the least.

Always a pleasure to embarass intellectually inferior atheists by quoting classics. :angel:
Embarrassing atheists by quoting one of the greatest atheists of all time... a new one on me, that.

This is precisely the kind of dada stellar, which arose when the post-modern society killed western omphaloskepsis, and filled the mental vacuum with positive nonsense.
Or it should have.

Einstein can say what he likes, but he can't change the English language. If you don't believe in a personal God, an intelligent creating force - and Einstein didn't - you're an atheist, whether you like it or not.
"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honorable but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. For me, the Jewish religion like all other religions is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions."
It's pretty unequivocal stuff.

Based on the article above, I'd say Einstein was the very definition of an Agnostic. He rejected the teachings of the old religions, and the concept of a personal god, but doesn't reject the idea of god altogether.
He is purposely vague about it all. Still, I don't think you could call him an Atheist outright.

Surely whether or not someone is an atheist depends entirely on your definition of deities. If you replace 'god' with 'the universe', I suppose I'm basically religious.
