> Albert Einstien,

excuse me, but einstein was an atheist.

"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions,
a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a
personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly.
If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the
unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our
science can reveal it."
[Albert Einstein, 1954, from "Albert Einstein: The Human Side",
edited by Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman, Princeton University Press]

Hal Linsey,

who?

Isaac Newton...

"Tis the temper of the hot and superstitious part of mankind in
matters of religion ever to be fond of mysteries, and for that
reason to like best what they least understand."
[Isaac Newton]

and opps!

that is still your subconscious desiring an afterlife.

I want to keep my mind as open

> Understand?

having an open mind does not mean you will believe in an afterlife, since you would believe in an afterlife, you are not keeping your options open because you have allready made up your mind.
