Einstein Letter Critical of Religion To Be Auctioned On EBay

Posted by samzenpus on from the get-behind-me-science dept.

cheesecake23 writes "In an admirably concise piece in The Atlantic, Rebecca J. Rosen summarizes Einstein's subtle views on religion and profound respect for the inexplicable, along with the news that a letter handwritten by the legendary scientist that describes the Bible as a 'collection of honorable, but still primitive legends' and 'pretty childish' will be auctioned off on eBay over the next two weeks. Bidding will begin at $3 million."

    Religious nuts scare me.
    They have no problem screwing over anyone not of their religion. They are only good at all because they think the invisible man is watching them all the time. And even that isnt absolute. They can be a tool. Confess. And hey! its all good!

    All the non-religious peeps are good without the afterlife reward carrot in front of them.

    Someday.. long after im dead im afraid.. society will finish growing up. and religion will earn its proper place. as a subset of CRAZY.
    Sure wish i could see that.
