Lord Meghnad Desai on God
by JGN on Feb 27, 2008 10:14 PM

Of course I ask myself why superstition is so widespread and why 99.99% of people believe in some form of God. Because of uncertainty and death, people cannot cope with the absoluteness of non-existence. So they invented an after-life and gods because it is useful. I have no doubt thatthis is the only life. I have and I'd better make the best out of it. %u2013 Lord Meghand Desai

(Lord Meghnad Desai may not be correct on the percentage. Almost 15% of world's population are now irreligious atheists)
