Competition challenge - God is in charge?

The challenge here is to demonstrate that that can possibly be untrue, without relying on any other agency or organisation of any kind whatsoever in any way being in charge instead of any person other than yourself, or in their case them being in charge of themselves and only of themselves.

I'd like to see how people handle it.

Update:

I'm not defining God, essentially I'm kind of suggesting that all human agencies that claim to be in charge rely on things like concepts and definitions of their choosing, which may for example in part be be as a result of their perceptions of reality, but their perceptions can't necessarily apply for other people, and do change over time historically anyway, and do involve embedded assumptions which may or may not be true. But that's just talking round it, I wasn't really trying to pin it down that much. But I was kind of suggesting that there is no reason why anyone should regard any authority as being above and in charge over themselves aside from God (whether they believe God exists or not). But feel free to interpret it how you like. I could write other things about that, but don't really want to straightjacket it and lead with any particular view. So wide open really.

Update 2:

I haven't defined God. So even if you were to assume that God is nothing or a myth, then the competition is open. If the challenge can't be completed, then the default position would be that some other arbitrary agency or organisation is in charge of other people, even if that agency were you or me or someone else or the weather etc.

    how can you include god in any competition or discussion when god doesn't exist it is a myth there has never been any proof or sightings or appearances since man began,so to discuss something that is non existent is poinless ok.

    In other words, prove that god doesn't exist? Is that what you are asking?

    First define your terms. Specifically when you use the term 'God'.
