I really like researching Einstein because he has so much to offer-He was unique-
I like to read his info on Success-
Per Einstein-
Well, the campaign enters its second phase on Monday which - according to the press release - will involve quotes from “famous atheists” hitting the London underground.
Included is Einstein’s quote:
“I do not believe in a personal God and have never denied this but have expressed it clearly”

I grew up with some Athiest-But I could never figure out why they cursed God and used His name in vain being that they didn't believe in God-
Another thing that I witnessed was some of them on their death bed even cursed God-I didn't get that.
My best friend in school was an Athiest and we were in a tornado one time and she started praying to God and saying Oh My God please save us-I was so laughing at her-Of course I wasn't saved at the time.
I'm thinking that maybe Einstein was such a Genius that he perhaps confused himself. However, Religion is probably what had him so confused.
