Einstein and God

Einstein uses his concept of God more often than a Catholic priest. Once I asked him:

'Tomorrow is Sunday. Do you want me to come to you, so we can work?'

'Why not?'

'Because I thought perhaps you would like to rest on Sunday.'

Einstein settled the question by saying with a loud laugh: 'God does not rest on Sunday either.'
