Albert Einstein on God

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.

How on earth are you ever going to explain in terms of chemistry and physics so important a biological phenomenon as first love?

A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

Love, while always forgiving of imperfections and mistakes, can never cease to will their removal.

C. S. Lewis1898–1963

• Forgiveness
• Love
• Theology

A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.

C. S. Lewis1898–1963

Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning…
