He who cherishes the value of culture cannot fail to be a pacifist.
Albert Einstein, 1914, Jeremy Bernstein’sEinstein
But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you…then you will be sons of the Most High.
Luke 6:27-8, 35 NET
I do think Jesus one-ups poor Albert… After all, what is doing good instead of harm for the love of culture compared to doing good instead of harm for the love of God and human life? And as far as I know, Albert never offered up his own life to destruction rather than destroy someone else’s as an example of how we should live.
