Einstein, dice and deities

Born 1879, Einstein must have been around 75 when writing that letter in 1954, one year before his death. It then is more the sum of his life's experiences, than just an adolescent's sin from youth.

Any more bright comments on intelligence?

I know a lot of atheists, who for the same reasons that Einstein is quoted with were driven away by monotheistic relgion's answers and rejected to childishly believe in gods and deities. And especially that was what made all of them spiritual, and seeing that life and cosmos is more than just about matter and random chance. Becasue atheism and an anti-religious attitude is something totally different than "aspirituality", and not the same, in no way - repeating that wrong claim endlessly nevertheless does not make it any less wrong. Religion is a dea dcult with predefined answers you either believe or not. Spirituality needs the absence of relgion as a precondition, it is about refusing to simply believe, but to directly experience oneself.

So, who is slipping here? Those who carry their dead body through life, blindly stumble in circles and consider that to be "devotion to God".

And who has resetted my personal profile's options...? God's revenge!?
