Like I said, he was a romantic pantheist, not a literal one. This quote doesn't contradict what I'm saying. In fact, he clearly said elsewhere that he was not a pantheist (nor an atheist, for that matter). Literally speaking, he was an agnostic atheist, though he didn't like the word "atheist" itself.
So you reckon that Albert didn't mean what he said?
You are funny Grand but to me your point is a bit cunning.
