BUT OMG one of them called ALBERT EINSTEIN stupid for saying

"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation, or who has a will of the kind we experience in ourselves."

and

"Man's ethical behavior should be effectively grounded on compassion, nurture and social bonds. What is moral is not the divine, but rather a purely human matter, albeit the most important of all human matters."

with the most insane argument, I've ever heard.

basically, he just hates religion/doesn't have beliefs and it was shocking someone who "hates religion" would be so influential and considered so smart.

Like obviously if you know me I'm the last person to defend an old white man and he is definitely not immune to criticism but WHAT???

Basically, I've been taking so many earth science classes and I forgot all college students aren't lgbt environmentally conscious atheists so I was very shocked when someone tried to force their religion on the entire class while also using it to discredit ALBERT EINSTEIN.

since the class is based on learning how to credit reliable sources and scientific studies I have a feeling she is not going to do well. It seemed like no one had ever challenged her faith before (and tbh I don't think Einstein even was???? but she was so mad???) Part of me wanted to write my essay on evolution or plate tectonics or something but then I realized she's probably previously homeschooled or something and I don't wanna bully her. I will however be writing my "I believe" essay on Star Trek or something fandom-related bc English is my worst subject so I might as well make it fun and any excuse to write about Spirk is a good excuse.

idc if you hate him, I'm not even sure I like him I know too little about the actual man have an opinion but I do have opinions about NOT FORCING YOUR RELIGION ON ME, especially when my family barely hung on to our connection to our culture bc of that religion.
