That's what all the god fuss is about?I didn't try to distinguish between possible true Gods or false gods (idols). Whatever a person loves above all else is his god.
And for the person who worships money above all else, money too is a god?
Aren't you smuggling in something undefined when you say a "believer"? If the answer is "a believer in god", the circle is complete and the definition put off forever.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
