Why is the Religion part so convincing? I have recently watched the web movie Zeitgeist. This movie is very shocking and told me all about conspiracies. The religion part has shocked me the most, since I have been raised on Christianity. They show hard evidence, yet I can't help but question its validity.

My friend has told me a story about a meeting Einstein had with other intellectuals and they asked each other, "Of all the knowledge there is in this universe, how much do we know?" Most of them generously answered 15-25%. Einstein then replied, isn't it possible that in the remaining 80% God exists?

It seems as if every time something crushes my faith something comes along and restores it. This alone should convince me that God exists.

I can't help but feel confused, one day I have strong faith and another day my faith is completely absent.

I know it is ultimately up to me to decide for myself, but I just can't.

Is there anyone else out there who feels the same?
 
Einstein believed in me, not the Christian god hahaha


The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed. It was the experience of mystery — even if mixed with fear — that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, our perceptions of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which only in their most primitive forms are accessible to our minds: it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute true religiosity. In this sense, and only this sense, I am a deeply religious man.

~Albert Einstein

has thou solved thy mystery?
 
I would certainly question the validity of the Einstein quote. He is on record as having proclaimed his disbelief in god, despite the numerous urban legends to the contrary.

"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."
-Albert Einstein
 
Most historians don't think that Jesus was an actual person. There isn't enough historical evidence. Einstein did not believe in a personal God. He believed there might be some kind of mysterious unknown but it was obvious to him that there wasn't a person.... an invisible person... watching everyone. That's myth.

As to the rest of the film, that's up for debate. I don't know.
 
Your friend has lied to you. That story never happened and if it did your friend has to show a reliable account for you to believe that story. That's how we, the stupid atheist, work. We demand evidence, you give it to us, we shut up and listen further more.

well, if you are a clever person, you'll know it is all a bunch of bullocks. Just like religion and theism.
