Sad he died an atheist.
“Sad he died an atheist.”
That was my opinion until I read some of the articles. He rejected atheism.
He was Jewish.
Conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer told The Daily Caller in a recent interview that he doesn’t believe in God in the traditional sense. But while he doesn’t describe himself as an atheist, the popular commentator said that he has a “complicated notion of the deity.”
“There was once a philosopher who said, ‘I don’t believe in God, but I fear him greatly.’ That’s about where I am,” he told the outlet. “I’ve had a fairly difficult and complicated notion of the deity.”
Krauthammer added that Albert Einstein’s concept of God most resonates with him.
He said that Einstein’s idea was “a recognition and an awe before the mystery of the order and beauty of the universe, which would imply that there is something very mysterious and very awesome — awe-inspiring — about the universe.”
He certainly did not. He had total contempt for atheism. He told Dennis Prager this on his show:
“I believe atheism is the least plausible of all theologies. I mean there’s a lot of wild ones out there, but the one that’s truly contrary to what is possible is atheism, I believe that. I mean, the idea that all this universe, always existed? It created itself ex nihilo? I mean, talk about the violation of human rationality. That, to me, is off the charts.
