I have twenty plus guitars. I loooooove guitars. I would like to have more. But… I don't worship them for worship is an act of religion, where you choose to seek the favor or approval of a higher being, that's above you, that made you or is in charge or can alter your situation. So, no I don't have a 'god', I don't worship anything. Perhaps I crave things, or am 'into' things. But chasing things is just a biological process, it triggers reward systems in your brain, like in every mammal that collects and stores resources. What a darn stupid thing to call that 'worship'. All the 'gods' that are described as examples are natural processes in our brain, to trigger reward systems. Its biological, not spiritual.

Hi, I'm a loser like you and a specimen of the hidious race that is pestering this earth and making it inhabitable for all known lifeforms.
