Krauthammer's thoughts on God

Charles Krauthammer, the influential conservative columnist and Fox News contributor, shared his thoughts on God in an interview over the weekend.

“There was once a philosopher who said, ‘I don’t believe in God, but I fear him greatly.’ That’s about where I am,” Krauthammer told The Daily Caller in a taped interview.

”I’ve had a fairly difficult and complicated notion of the deity," he explained. "If I tried to explain it I would simply say — and this is by no means associating myself with the greatness of the man — but I would associate myself with Einstein’s conception of God, which was a recognition and an awe before the mystery of the order and beauty of the universe, which would imply that there is something very mysterious and very awesome, awe-inspiring about the universe.”
