Jack, again and again and again and again, I never asked you to justify Einstein's words. I just asked why you quoted them. If there wasn't any particular reason, fine, just say so. In most cases, when someone introduces concepts into a discussion it's because they think those concepts are pertinent to the discussion. If you want to post things that you think are meaningless to the discussion you should be prepared to get called on it.

And yes, introducing the concept that atheists are bitter about being brought up in religion IS an attempt to discount the words of the people you are talking to. It's making judgments about their emotional state without having any actual information about it.

I know this isn't a cross examination. It's a discussion. I'm just asking you to pay attention to that fact, which, for me, includes meaning what you say and supporting your statements if they are shown to be off base.
