Why does there need to be a God? There doesn't need to be.

Without catching up on the thread, I'm assuming it's moved on to what use is there in believing in God, or are we waxing the nihilistic pud?
We all need a "god" which is something that promises us something, and it behooves us to serve that god. If life tends towards being more complex and can be more ordered, purpose is a driver for growth. Working towards a goal implies that it is attainable and develops competence and achievement. It also staves off psychological discord.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post
