As a Jew himself, Einstein said he had a great affinity with Jewish people but said they "have no different quality for me than all other people".
"The word God is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish.
"No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this," he wrote in the letter written on January 3, 1954 to the philosopher Eric Gutkind, cited by The Guardian newspaper.
"For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions," he said.
"And the Jewish people to whom I gladly belong and with whose mentality I have a deep affinity have no different quality for me than all other people."
And he added: "As far as my experience goes, they are no better than other human groups, although they are protected from the worst cancers by a lack of power. Otherwise I cannot see anything 'chosen' about them."
Maybe God thinks Eintstein was childish?
"Theory or Relativity!!!?? Is that the best you can do??"

I was walking home from university one day and this little kid was in tears on the side of the road...
his chain had jumped of the sprocket of his bike
i said hi and asked if he would like some help ...
10 seconds later i had him smiling back on his way.
I often think that is much the way God must see us ... much like the way I saw that little kid.
Yes, AND he has a sense of humour!

Sex is not perverted. Having sex with children or animals is perverted.

Agreed, I was just referring to myself as thinking that EVERYTHING has to do with sex.
Appaerntly in this case my spidey senses were correct.
