| Subject: Albert Einstein on Religion, Fear and God |
 “With primitive man it is above all fear that evokes religious notions - fear of hunger, wild beasts, sickness, death. [...] The desire for guidance, love, and support prompts men to form the social or moral conception of God. This is the God of Providence, who protects, disposes, rewards and punishes.”"Ideas and Opinions" by Albert Einstein, p36
Einstein was an awesome man... I feel odd about reducing him to small quotations! Nonetheless, as part of my ongoing pages on Death, I have added parts of this quote to two pages:
Many other specialists, psychologists and sociologists have commented on fear and religion, but I thought I'd add Einstein to the fray because, well, his opinions are worth a lot! |
