Lord Meghnad Desai on God
by JGN on Jan 15, 2008 01:02 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

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 that this is the only life I have and I'd better make the best out of it - Lord Meghnad Desai

(Lord Meghnad Desai may not be correct on the percentage of atheists. About 15% of world population are irreligious atheists at present)

Mr. Ismail, don't worry. These kafirs are against the jihadis going to the paradise. Once they realize what have been kept ready by the "most merciful allah" in the paradise, they also would not hesitate to blow themselves up "in the cause of allah". Allah has sealed the hearts of non-blievers!
