Einstein was a theist, but so was Hitler. Will you claim both?

Answer 1

Einstein was a genius.
Hitler was a misguided lunatic.
How can you compare the two?

Answer 2

Yes both Einstein and Hitler were atheist.But the two were not the same, Einstein was a wellknown scientist while Hitler was a cruel stateman.But I read a book that before Einstein died he made a wellknown statement that a religion without science is lame and science without religion is blind.So I think before he died he was not an atheist.He believed in God.

Answer 3

Sure will, Everything in this world takes a leap of faith. regardless of their belief system Einstein and Hitler took on the assumption that a god existed, didn't exist or couldn't be proven. And assumptions are the basis of everything in this universe. Without assumptions, we cannot accept things for being factual or not. The information we gather through our senses is processed and we have to make the assumption that they are genuine in order to accept them as factorial. In a way, its like differentiating between reality and dreaming, how can you tell the difference if you never assumed that the dream was fantasy.

Answer 4

Your question is not clear.

You type "a theist", which is by no means an "atheist".

Einstein believed in God in methods that there is no "religion" for, as there is no mass belief toward it. Just his personal beliefs.

Hitler's religious beliefs are unclear. He publicly said "I am a Catholic as always been" or something to that effect. But his intimate friends said that he was deeply religious but deeply Anti-Christian.

There is no proof at all of God and therefore, I believe in Science. I have no idea how the word "God" came into the human vocabulary, but I will by no means accept the addition of this word due to human speculation.

These are just my opinions and beliefs and do not mean in any method to offend anyone. I strongly believe in Freedom of Religion.

Answer 5

Einstein wasn't an atheist. An atheist doesn;t believe in God. When confronted with the success of the theory proving light bending observation during an eclipse, Einstein was asked "What if it didn;t get proved?" Einstein said, "I couldn;t believe that God could be so wrong". Not the words of an atheist.

Hitler was just a Jew by birth who was in denial. He was a mental case that weaseled his way into office. Common occurance, isn't it?.

Answer 6

Why does anyone have to claim anyone? Einstein would have been a genius no matter his religion, and Hitler would still be a Nazi f*ck no matter his. U can't define a religion by the acts of a few, good or bad.

Answer 7

Einstein believed in God so was an agnostic which means he had a belief in a Greater Power. Hitler was atheist, which means that he did not believe in an Intelligent Designer so that term is correct for him. You will be hard pressed to find a true atheist,most find a belief in something when their life is about to end.

Answer 8

Einstein was a Sicentist but Hitler a Dictator
God is the supreme power in this universe.
We have to accept this because we are not able to bring life to a dead. What we are doing is DIS - COVERING ( removing the cover) what is already existing.

Answer 9

Lots of people claim to believe in God without actually acting in such a manner that has anything to do with any religion. The terrorists in Northern Ireland calimed to be Catholic and Protestant, and yet both churches railed against their acts. Islamic extremist groups claim to follow the Koran (or Quran) but Imams in Mecca decry their acts and will behead those they catch.

On the other hand, Stalin and Mao killed millions of their own people, and put barbaric policies in place. Both were commited atheists. That does not mean all atheists are evil either.

Answer 10

Assuming your spacebar has not gone crazy and you mean that hitler and einstein were THEISTS, No, we will not.
The two are opposites; one man respected faith, the other man abused it. Hitler claimed to be a theist, but he merely used the church, promising to eliminate pornography and prostitution adn to uphold family values - promises he never kept, but rather broke flagrantly. Hitler was an anti-semitist; a position that no christian can be in without denying Jesus' teachings.

Answer 11

So you figure that you can lump all people that believe in a GOD into one category and assume thet based on that one fact that they will all agree on everything.
That my friend is a loaded question.
I , As an agnostic believe in GOD,, sortof,, so does that mean that I only half accept Hitler.. and fully accept Einstien?
Simply sharing one belief does not mean that I agree wholeheartedly that the actions of another who shares my belief is right in every action he performs. in simple fact While I agree that Einstien made great contributions to the feilds of the sciences, and Hitler Made a great scar of attrocities upon the world , Does not make the assumption that One is my brother and the other not.
So in answer to your question, Yes, In the simple fact that we both claim to believe in GOD I do Claim Both, But does that mean I condone or refute the actions of either? No,
You are trying to lump too many things under one umbrella,, and if that was your intention .. well done, but if you are trying to shake my limited faith,, Fear Not,, I still believe there is a God,, and Defining HIM or his purpouse is simply not my Job.
Nor Was it Hitlers Job , Nor was it Einstiens Job. Or frankly is it your Job.. But good question. We Have the ability to think for ourselves,, I fear it would be a shame for us as a people to waste that gift.
