Preview Why should someone be an atheist? Why should one question something believed in by a large percentage of people in society? ”Is there any reasonable basis for atheism and such skepticism - and, if so, what is it? The book “Why I do not believe in god?” another masterpiece of Prabir Ghosh, answers each and every question on the subject, in a great style and dismantles every possible definition of the “almighty” with clinical precision. Originally written in Bengali and a best-seller for many years, this unique collection is undoubtedly one of the best writings on atheism by one of the world's greatest rationalist of all times. The book addresses the most significant questions pertaining to religious belief…the existence of god…religion in relation to science…and presents a challenge to every organized religion on all fronts. “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. Prabir Ghosh, the author of this book and the most celebrated rationalist in the world has debunked more than a thousand “godmen" and “astrologers” .His challenge of $62,500 to anyone claiming to possess “miraculous” power has already trounced more than a thousand “godmen” and “clairvoyants”. In his crusade against superstitions and claims of “miraculous power” he has so far survived 20 life attempts at the international level. The book is a precious addition to any thinking person's library. This book much more than a challenge to the dogma of supernatural infallibility. It walks around the sort of questioning and reasoning that goes on within a person’s mind…a style never seen before.With excellent scholarship and thorough detail, Prabir Ghosh powerfully and systematically tears apart the myth behind “God” …refuting long held arguments of theists, laying to waste sacred and traditional beliefs of the faith…a must read for any free-thinker.
