Some Religiosity Regurgitations
So, one of the many thorns in John McCain's side, the Reverend Hagee, has apologized to Catholics for calling the Catholic Church 'the great whore' and 'the apostate church.' Guess he is still hoping for an invite to the White House if McCain gets elected.
This happens on the same day that a letter from Albert Einstein goes up for auction. The letter basically describes religion belief in God as 'childish superstition' and says Jews aren't the chosen people.
I'm sure both will lead to some tortured posturing from folks on all sides of these kind of issue, all of which will lead to nothing in the end. A lot of folks have been debating some of Einstein's previous musings on religion for years ('science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind' as an example) and fall all over themselves doing so. Those who will choose to argue that this proves Einstein didn't believe in religion will have a field day with this.
Unfortunately, as far as the Reverend Hagee is concerned, this will just be seen as yet another blatant attempt at hypocrisy by some, and as sudden absolution from others.
At least Einstein's thoughts had something of substance behind them, however you feel about them. Hagee's should be an insult to anyone. Both his original comments and his apology.
