On spiritual hunger -- Charles Foster in TLS:

‘This view of reality would doubtless be alluring to Abi Millar, a successful, secular thirtysomething journalist who has rejected the evangelical Christianity of her childhood, but “feels a spiritual hunger very acutely”, though she struggles “to define what that hunger represents”. She hasn’t “signed up to living a life devoid of purpose”, but wants “to define that purpose in [her] own terms”. She knows that spirituality is “her basic programming”, the “deepest stratum” of her life, and knows that worship is as much part of human life as breathing. She quotes David Foster Wallace: “Everyone worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for maybe choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship … is that pretty much anything else you worship [such as money, power, intellect and physical beauty] will eat you alive.” Dreher would heartily agree, adding only the caveat that many gods and “spiritual-type things” will eat you alive too.
Millar’s problem is: “How on earth are you supposed to select your ‘god or spiritual-type thing?’”. There are so many contenders.’

‘Second, he could side again with Bentley Hart, and with a reputable strand of Christian (including Orthodox) belief, and say that God is so merciful and powerful that all will be saved. This should be uncontroversial. (It’s not). The great Orthodox Easter hymn shouts that “death has been trampled by death” – the death of Christ. If that’s right, death is dead. For everyone. The death of death doesn’t depend on anyone’s assent to a theological proposition, on their attendance at church, on their self-identification as Christian or on membership of any club other than that of the human race. It’s just a fact.
I bet if Rod Dreher persuaded the church to do that, Abi Millar would join him on a Sunday. But I bet, too, that he thinks that to suggest it makes me an agent of Lucifer himself.’

So, our true addiction is worshipping? Most people would like to worship themselves. Everything else they worship is just to worship themselves better.
