I follow you on Twitter. Thought I’d throw this Einstein comment into the mix. I have it on my Facebook page under the quotes section.
I found it on a BBC report about an auction of a number of Einstein’s letters at Sotheby’s or Christies. This batch were particularly special because of the quote from one letter.
It settles once and for all his position – some thought he could have been agnostic; others thought – or hoped – he was withholding some kind of religious belief. Then this:
“The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this.”
Wonderful, no?
To me, it’s up there with Douglas Adams’ ‘Isn’t enough to see that the garden is beautiful in itself, without having to believe there are faeries at the bottom of it?’.
However, those quotes are pure poetry compared to Nietzsche’s brusque and cutting statement: God is dead.
So throw that Einstein quote at the firebrand evangelists and turn the Argument Intensity Generator all the way up to 11!
I think a weekly theme is a great idea. I don’t have a theme for my 365 and it gets really difficult and challenging to find stuff to shoot everyday. Your 28 days looks great!

Well, if my daughter hadn't actually gotten the H1N1 before the vaccine was even available, you can bet she would have had the vaccine.
Fortunately, she is fine. But I absolutely do not understand the distrust of vaccines that seems to be so prevalent lately. Do these people not know anything of polio? Rubella? Mumps? Pertussis?
Possibly not, since we do not have a high occurrence of these diseases in the US anymore. THANKS TO VACCINES.
My aunt just passed away this week from complications related to H1N1. I'm glad that your daughter is fine.
I completely agree with your opinion on people's distrust of vaccines. Not only has the link to autism been invalidated, but it's socially irresponsible to not vaccinate. People don't realize that if everybody were to stop vaccinating their children these diseases that are no longer a reality in the US would more than likely make a come back.
I don't have any children now, but when I do vaccinating is a definite must.

Well? I'm tuned. Do something!
Also, don't run red lights. Sorry I wasn't there for you on Saturday.
I'd get the shot! heck, i want to get that HPV one if they'll give it to me at 33.
You know I'll be getting my vaccines, especially in light of recent events.
Literally, my earth is shaken.
Well, if my daughter hadn't actually gotten the H1N1 before the vaccine was even available, you can bet she would have had the vaccine.
Fortunately, she is fine. But I absolutely do not understand the distrust of vaccines that seems to be so prevalent lately. Do these people not know anything of polio? Rubella? Mumps? Pertussis?
