About This Quote
This is a quote by Albert Einstein which is about the paradox of belief in God. The paradox occurs when one believes in God but does not believe in the things that are taken to be divine. If one believes in God, then they believe God is good and that there cannot be anything else outside of God. However, if one believes that god is all encompassing but does not believe in the things that are taken to be divine, then the paradox occurs where one believes they are still following god’s will if they do not believe in the things that are taken to be divine.
