 Modern Man Continues to Search for God - Catholic Online
Likewise, I do not think that we can speak appropriately of the return to the thirst for God, given that man, whether or not he is aware of it, is always objectively in need of God, and cannot fulfill himself other than by entering into communion with the absolute.
In regard to the third meaning, which concerns the effective resurgence of the awareness of modern man's need for God, an appropriate answer would have to be given by a sociologist, not by a theologian or a philosopher.
Suffice it to think of the configuration that the divine assumes in the religion of primitive and illiterate peoples, or of the monist, dualist, polytheist, or monotheist manifestation with which the absolute is experienced by many believers.

 Amazon.com: Dice Man: Books: Luke Rhinehart   (Site not responding. Last check: )
"The Dice Man" is a dark comedy, violent and hilarious at the same time; an upbeat precursor to the much grimmer "American Psycho" (1991) by Bret Easton Ellis, and the similarly satirical "The Elementary Particles" (1998) by the French author Michel Houellebecq.
As an author, for example, he lets the dice decide what he should write in his fictional autobiography with the title "The Dice Man" and what not; and the dice decide when he should lie and when not.
In sum, "The Dice Man" is recommended for readers who are willing to suspend the sense of their own importance for the sake of enjoying a fictional world, and to tolerate an alien system of morality for the time it takes to read this original and amusing satire.

 The mystery of John Kerry's missing courage. - By William Saletan - Slate Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Watching Kerry's "announcement" of his candidacy, I was struck by his increasing physical resemblance to Ed Muskie, a candidate from another era--gaunt, bloodless, unattractive.
But I also remember that Muskie projected himself as an intelligent man, consistent in his moral positions, and possessed of sufficient political courage to be true to those positions even when it was uncomfortable (and perhaps unprofitable) for him to do so.
His entire approach to governing--more troops, and tax cuts to make sure we don't pay for them--is the philosophy of a man who thinks purely about the next fifteen minutes, which is a sign of impulsive behavior.
