Actually, in most US localities, killing a mime is punishable by a
small fine. There's no additional penalty, as your "community service"
is considered to have been performed during the crime itself...

"The condition of alienation, of being asleep, of being unconscious,
of being out of one's mind, is the condition of the normal man. Society
highly values its normal man.It educates children to lose themselves
and to become absurd,and thus to be normal. Normal men have killed
perhaps 100,000,000 of their fellow normal men in the last fifty years."

There's no harm in reading the Bible, if you do it correctly. It's sort
of like a scientist studying AIDS, you see. With the right precautions,
you can avoid infection and possiblly find a cure.

Doesn't matter. It reveals much about the culture of the authors (much
more than they would like you to know probably ;-). No different to
reading the religious writings of the ancient Egyptians. (Quite a lot of
bible ideas are actually copied from things Egyptian).

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
--Albert Einstein
"I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his
creation, whose purposes are modeled after our own -- a God, in short,
who is but a reflection of human frailty. Neither can I believe that
the individual survives the death of his body, although feeble
souls harbor such thoughts through fear or ridiculous egotisms."
[Albert Einstein, obituary in New York Times, 19 April 1955]
"I cannot conceive of a personal God who would directly influence the
actions of individuals, or would directly sit in judgment on creatures
of his own creation. I cannot do this in spite of the fact that
mechanistic causality has, to a certain extent, been placed in doubt
by modern science. My religiosity consists in a humble admiration of
the infinitely superior spirit that reveals itself in the little that
we, with our we are and transitory understanding, can comprehend of
reality. Morality is of the highest importance -- but for us, not for
God."
[Albert Einstein, from "Albert Einstein: The Human Side", edited by
Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman, Princeton University Press]

Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble."

"The scientists' religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an
intelligence of such superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting of human beings is an utterly
insignificant reflection."
--Albert Einstein
Guys, Mr. Einstein did not believe in a personal God (or was unable to prove!) however, he did have a gut feeling
there is a God.
The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to
the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who
or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of
the books---a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects.--Albert Einstein

"At any rate, I am convinced that He [God] does not play dice." --Albert
Einstein
"Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes
convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit
vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our
modest powers must feel humble." --Albert Einstein
"The scientists' religious feeling takes the form of a rapturous amazement
at the harmony of natural law, which reveals an intelligence of such
superiority that, compared with it, all the systematic thinking and acting
of human beings is an utterly insignificant reflection."
--Albert Einstein
Guys, Mr. Einstein did not believe in a personal God (or was unable to
prove!) however, he did have a gut feeling there is a God.
The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a
little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the
ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that
someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It
does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child
notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books---a mysterious order
which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects.--Albert Einstein
I know he didn't believe in a personal god and was closer to Spinoza than
anything. But he used the word *lame?
I'm having more trouble with that, myself...

I have a strong feeling he intended it in the sense of the older
meaning of "handicapped in walking", rather than the slang usage, dude

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
--Albert Einstein
This is proof that Einstein should have stuck to physics.
He is quite wrong that Sience without religion is "lame".
It has been hobbled by religion since the very beginnings.
It can be cured of lameness by freeing it from religion.
