In the meantime, this guy is a joke. He has no real thoughts or ideas of his own, and whether he knows it or not, all he is doing each time he makes a post is confirming that fact. Let him.
It's funny, because that last Einstein quote he posted actually had later clarification. Einstein went on to say that he is not a theist, but he could understand how simple-minded people would misinterpret the quote.
These are some other things he said.
A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man. (Albert Einstein)
I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it. (Albert Einstein, 1954)
I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings. (Albert Einstein)
Of course, what Einstein said on matters of religion, in support of either side, matters little in a real debate.
What falls away is always, and is near.
