You misunderstand, I am not laughing at Einstein I am laughing at you.
You also misrepresent Einsteins religious views.
On the Bible: In his autobiographical notes (written at age 67) he says, "Thus I came--despite the fact that I was the son of entirely irreligious (Jewish) parents--to a deep religiosity, which, however, found an abrupt ending at the age of 12. Through the reading of popular scientific books I soon reached the conviction that much in the stories of the Bible could not be true."
On the Power of Prayer: "Scientific research is based on the idea that everything that takes place is determined by laws of nature, and therefore this holds for the actions of people. For this reason, a research scientist will hardly be inclined to believe that events could be influenced by a prayer, i.e., by a wish addressed to a supernatural Being."
On Morality and Ethics: "I consider ethics to be an exclusively human concern with no superhuman authority behind it."
Einstein didn't believe in god, he believed in the laws of nature. He had zero belief in a personal god which is something you have professed to believe.
We could trade Einstein quotes all day but you are boring me Splum. Einstein would have spat in your hateful face. That much is a certainty.
