There is no God.

There is no God.

Yes. There is no such thing/person/being/entity as God. I will not argue, justify or give examples. That is just plain juvenile. I believe the entire universe spins around sheer chance and probability. The unpredictability of events that occur is so huge, that we don't want to admit the fact that- WE DON'T KNOW.

God is a product of humanity's ignorance. If we can't figure it out- it's God's work. A crude invention, that still grips society with fanaticism and idiocy. God is the etiology for this sad social degeneration.

Being a student of medicine, it is often the case that certain ailments cannot be treated, or certain conditions have reached a terminal stage. And doctors assure the patients that- Its all up to God. Sickening
I will never do that. It's not upto something that does not exist to save the patient. It is skill. You either can or can't do it. God is not a treatment option. Atleast textbooks don't say so.

The chances that you do land up with problems, diseases etc is a number. Not a consequence of how many incantations you have recited or with the degree of religious fervour in your prayers.

Next time you hear something like- God is great.

Stand up and make the correction. God is a ratio.
