[Humor] Atheist

Atheist

One evening, a young woman came home from a date, rather sad. She told her mother, “The man I dated today proposed to me.”

“Then why are you so sad?” her mother asked.

“Because he also told me he is an atheist. Mom, he doesn’t even believe there’s hell.”

The mother replied, “Marry him anyway. Between the two of us, we’ll show him just how wrong he is.”

Life, Albert Einstein

Let us not forget that knowledge and skills alone cannot lead humanity to a happy and dignified life. ... I claim credit for nothing. Everything is determined, the beginning as well as the end, forces over which we have no control. It is determined for the insects as well as for the stars, Human beings, vegetables or cosmic dust, we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an invisible piper.

- Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

Body, Novalis

There is but one temple in the universe and that is the body of man.

- Novalis (1772-1801)

Deity, Albert Einstein

My sense of god is my sense of wonder about the universe.
