Do you wish there's a god?

[Fake Messiah]

When will people realize that they (humans) are gods, or at least have a potential to become gods.

When I was 12.

What?

Sure, take, for instance, what most people do today - from healing to transport and building things - would seem god-like to people just few hundred years ago. I mean imagine going to medieval times or even 19th century and giving someone pills for hemorrhoids - how godlike would you appear.

And that's why people need to realize that we are the Gods people are looking for and continue to do greater stuff and one day when people start terraforiming other planets, travel to other stars, cure all diseases, live as long as they want and have diplomatic relations with alien species - who would then need to think about god other than ourselves?

God was more important to people of the past (like medieval times) when people were dying like flies and everybody had more kids that died than lived. To them life was short, fragile and meaningless, so they were putting everything to some other life beyond. But even then it was more of a stumbling block than anything else. For example, I remember watching a documentary about that famous Russian empress Alexandra and when she saw how her son Alexei suffered from hemophilia her solution was to spend most of her day in the church praying for him so that Jesus heals him - and you see the stumbling block? It would have been much smarter of her if she used a treasure trove to invest in science in order to find a cure, because these people can have perfectly normal lives with today's medicine.
