I don't think it's a fruitless concept to contemplate the existence of God or consciousness itself for that matter, but it is somewhat irreverent to deal in absolutes by either measure. Spirituality is a necessary part of any human being, but it is imperative to mediate that self-enlightenment with an awareness of the world around you. Even if philosophy is man's willingness to prepare for death, it is important to not lose sight of the present and forget to live.
