[And the Christians are up in arms over it.](http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2012/03/06/critics-slam-miley-cyrus-over-tweet-perceived-to-be-anti-christian-report-says/) It’s not John Lennon, but hey. It’s nice to see the younger generation keeping up the traditions of rock. 😃 ---

Good for her. I’d like a cite for that Einstein quote though. I have a hard time believing he ever talked like a modern day teenager. Also, a Christian he was not. ---

I’m pretty sure “lame” in the quote is supposed to mean the physical handicap, not “lame” as in valley-girl speak. Hence the juxtaposition with “blind”. ---

I don’t know how to pull the curtain back and break this to you **silenus** , but some time ago Miley revealed that contrary to what she professes in the lyrics to her hit song _Party in the USA_, she has never actually [heard a Jay-Z song](http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2009/11/miley-cyrus-jay-z-who/) and [doesn’t even like any of this shit.](http://www.thehollywoodgossip.com/2009/11/miley-cyrus-jay-z-who/) In fact her whole public personal and everything she does is a ploy to increase sales of her children’s clothing line (available exclusively at Walmart, IIRC). I’m sorry, man. ---

I’m not entirely convinced that she read the entire quote. If she did and she’s actually familiar with Krauss, then good for her. ---

I knew I was going to regret posting that. 🙂 This is just pure speculation on my part, but I believe ol’ Albert only said he believed in God due to social pressure at the time. Think about it, he was basically the first “Science guy” that ever achieved such popularity.. (Still living that is) In that day and age for him to say: “Yeah, that whole God thing is bull shit.” would NOT have been received well to say the least. ---

Miley Cyrus has actually been growing into a pretty cool person, IMO. She’s only 19, so she still is gonna do things that are juvenile (like her repeated comments on being SUCH a, like, stoner. Heh), but she’s been vocal in her support of views that many people think are incompatible with her religion. She’s also supported gay rights and marriage equality, and [had some good responses to bigots who were pissed off](http://m.glamour.com/entertainment/2012/02/why-miley-cyrus-got-her-gay-marriage-tattoo-glamour-march-2012): > [@](#): > > When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page [she got a tattoo of an equal sign on her ring finger] and said, “All LOVE is equal,” a lot of people mocked me— **they said, “What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!” And I said, “Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.”** The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, “Dude, everyone lay off.” **Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?** > > I believe every American should be allowed the same rights and civil liberties. Without legalized same-sex marriage, most of the time you cannot share the same health benefits, you are not considered next of kin and you are not granted the same securities as a heterosexual couple. How is this different than having someone sit in the back of the bus because of their skin color?
