Why I do not believe in god

Written by Prabir Ghosh

“This book is named ‘Why I Do Not Believe in God’. Here the word ‘I’ does not mean me alone. ‘I’ represent a large number of common people who, like me, do not believe in the existence of god… I was sincere in my effort while collecting the points, and my friends and fellow rationalists supplied me with numerous arguments. Had I failed to counter any of these arguments, I would have, by now, joined the believers. If my readers inform me personally that I have missed any point I would incorporate them in the next edition of this book. In case I fail to refute any point, I on behalf of my organization, promise to close down the Science & Rationalists’ Association and discontinue all my rationalist activities forever..” –says Prabir Ghosh, the author.    More…
