I think Rep. Frank Nicely would have a hard time proving that Albert Einstein said this…
“I think that if there’s one thing that everyone in this room could agree on, that would be that Albert Einstein was a critical thinker. He was a scientist. I think that we probably could agree that Albert Einstein was smarter than any of our science teachers in our high schools or colleges. And Albert Einstein said that a little knowledge would turn your head toward atheism, while a broader knowledge would turn your head toward Christianity.”
(Update: This is a duplicate. Sorry!)
Francis Bacon actually wrote that about three centuries before Einstein was born.
Close, but no cigar!
Vorjack actually wrote that about 3 days ago!
I need to read the blog more often.
This was on April 16th.
Would have still been on the first page when right before this was posted.
Another liar for God. What a surprise.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who accidentally repeats other people’s posts :-p
Wasn’t Einstein a Jew. Why would he promote Christianity
Guilt for being responsible for killing Jesus?
Sigh, I finally sat down to watch The Passion. Is Mel Gibson high? How does making a movie about an anti-semitic play not get you smacked in the face.
Because his movie is only marginally more anti-semitic than the Gospel of Matthew.
That guy was seriously not a fan of the Pharisees.
Not only a Jew, but a secular Jew.
So I will repeat my comment then. :)
“For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions.” – A. Einstein
I sent an email to Rep. Niceley a few days ago about this. I am sure he will read it as diligently as he read the quote book he pulled out of his ass.
Welcome back, Daniel.

Since I live in Arizona, I’m going to assume he just forgot to follow Jon Kyl’s advice and add “Not Intended to be a Factual Statement” after saying it. After all that’s how our politicians get away with lying.
I was also sent a story of how Einstein, when in college, was asked if he was a Christian by a professor. He said ‘yes’ and was ridiculed by the professor. He successfully trounced his atheist professor using logic. I told the friend who sent it to me Einstein would never say he was a Christian since he was Jewish. The person who sent me the story then said “that’s not the point.” What was the point?? You make up a story and get mad when someone callls you on the facts?? Some logic!!
Your friend was probably thinking of the famous Chick tract and just inserting Einstein in, thinking it will make him sound smarter.
