Michael Savage on America’s Crisis of Faith:
‘God Is Not Dead, Man Is Dead to God’
Savage noted that Albert Einstein was used as an icon of supreme atheist reason by the Sixties counterculture, but Einstein himself said that “as he got older, the more that he probed the perimeters of the universe, the more he was sure there was a Creator, a grand Creator – it could not happen by accident.”
i’ve read similar about Einstein, and, many-many lesser-known others who changed over the course of their lifetimes.
it’s sad how so much damage can be done that lives on+on, often directly affecting human laws that carry on for decades+decades, with no mention of the later change of heart.
it’s such a strange phenonema, but it happens just like that.
my general response to discussion of atheists is, “i don’t believe in atheists.”
and, i don’t.
just those who have not yet walked far enough on their path. God is patient.
Einstein’s experience pretty much reflects my view on it.
sometimes i read postings on the Catholic Engineers page. they have FB, too.

i suppose, i’m specially affected by those who invest in advanced studies, while retaining their core faith. many describe gaining deeper faith, as their studies take them further. as if, “the more one learns, the more is found to be humble about.”
in different ways, i’m as affected by believers in most humble circumstances, prisoners, welfare mothers, everyday workers .. people more like me.
(thinking out loud) it must be the sense of the presence of the Holy Spirit, which, extra-human, exists+transforms, not under control of human scope.
