"The next stage of human evolution has to be survival of the wisest, not the survival of the fittest. For that we need intuition, compassion and a woman God."

Deepok should take up investing... maybe trading derivatives... a career where hallucination goes unnoticed, if not always unrewarded.

His idea, of course, is the central religious humbug of our era - that man can create God in his own image, not the other way around. If we "need" a caring, nurturing God... well, that's what we'll get. A companion notion is that God wants us to be rich (an idea arising, not surprisingly, in an age of Mammon Triumphant). Another comes with the environmental movement - that God favours those who drive hybrid cars.

Good luck with that, Deepok. But we have a sneaky suspicion that you'll get from God what God wants you to have, regardless of what you want or what you think.
