America is today the hope of all honorable men who respect the rights of their fellow men and who believe in the principle of freedom and justice.
Albert Einstein

The word 'God' is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, and religious scripture a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation, no matter how subtle, can (for me) change this.
