Oh, I didn't realize that Rob bought the fucking letter. And hey, I didn't realize it had already been sold...since it hasn't yet.
Let's examine one of the "so-called" direct quotes.
In the letter, which is to be auctioned in London on Thursday, the man whose name is today synonymous with genius wrote that "the word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses."
As for the Word of God (this is a bullshit transition by the author of the article), Einstein referred to the Bible as "a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish."
The bolded part obviously should read "The Word OF God."
And the reason why Einstein, a Jew himself, writes that he doesn't believe that the Jews are "God's chosen people" is because he didn't believe the Bible is infallible.
Here are some quotes by Einstein; most of them were stated publicly and recorded:
I want to know God's thoughts; the rest are details."
"God is subtle but He is not malicious."
"I am convinced that He (God) does not play dice."
"Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind."
