That's, like...deep, man.

Whether you're talking the war on terror, gay marriage, evolution in the classroom, or even global warming; the underlying theme that is framing these debates is religion. More specifically: the infallibility of religion.

So, it was a breath of fresh air when I stumbled across this great article on Time Magazine's website called "Einstein & Faith."

Einstein described himself as "religious" but never admitted to following the Christian or Jewish faiths, exclusively. When asked what he meant by calling himself religious, Einstein replied with one of the best quotes I've read in a long time:

"The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle. To sense that behind anything that can be experienced there is something that our minds cannot grasp, whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly: this is religiousness. In this sense, and in this sense only, I am a devoutly religious man."
