Spinoza's God

People are awakened to the fact that the Old Testament god was not the true Spiritual father of Jesus. The congregation no longer believes in a wrathful god. When Einstein gave lectures at U.S. universities, the recurring question that students asked him most was:
– Do you believe in God? And he always answered: – I believe in the God of Spinoza. Weather we understand it or not, many of us believe in the God of Spinoza.

Logical take, people perhaps read too much into “God” and what they think it ought to be.
“Life doesn’t discriminate between the sinner and the saint; it takes and it takes and it takes, we keep living anyway. We rise and we fall and we break and we make our mistakes and if there’s a reason I’m still alive when so many others have died, I’m gonna wait for it.”

My thing is why offer him money to recant his opinion if you know for a fact that what he had said what “heresy”

he sounds really ahead of his time, but i don't think God was MEANT to be an absentee landlord, in that we are MEANT to be one with God!
