Some interesting
people have had similar thoughts as Einstein.
Abraham
Lincoln, the 16th
President of the United States disagreed with Christianity in
his youth and
in later years
confirmed this when he said. "My
earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian
scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures, have
become clearer and
stronger with advancing years and I see no reason for thinking I shall
ever change them."
He also said. "The
Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession."
John Adams, second President of the United States, said.
"The divinity of Jesus is
made a convenient cover for absurdity."
And. "This would be
the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it."
Thomas Jefferson, third President of the
United States and principal author of the Declaration of Independence
said. "Millions of innocent men, women and children,
since the introduction of Christianity, have been burned, tortured, fined
and imprisoned. What has been the effect of this coercion? To make half the
world fools and half hypocrites; to support roguery and error all over the
world..."
And. "The Christian God is a being of terrific
character - cruel, vindictive, capricious, and unjust."
