We all NEED something, don't we?
So it's going to be another question of the nature of god. Although, I like your term 'aspirations' - kinda godlike, I think.
God has become such a polarizing term: He's an idea, someone's leader, a redeemer or a destroyer. God is a creator or a creation of our human imagination. Sorry, but it's all been done before.
I've come to a place where a god
may exist, but it's such a meaningless term TO ME that concrete needs outweigh any argument spent on the question. I guess I've stopped asking God for help and I look to others for my needs.
