A few thoughts:
The question "Who needs God?" has been posed many times over thousands of years. The answer is noone needs God, rather, God needs us.Think about it.
If we're constantly asking ourselves about things we cannot answer with science, or by the old stand by "Stuff happens," then we've missed the point. God needs us to love, because he is love. We can't explain it, but we know it exists, and we seek it out to make us whole.
God needs us to forgive because he is forgiving. If we spend our whole lives finding fault in ourselves, and others, then what good have we done?
God gives us choices because he needs us to have the freedom to make choices for ourselves so we can learn, and grow. If everything is given, then what is there to give?
In a perfect world, like heaven, we find all answers, so we must seek heaven for it's own sake. The only way to learn how to get there is by experiencing as much as this world throws at us at any given moment. That is the purpose of scars, and stripes; to pay the admission beyond all pain, and suffering.
To know God is to be like God, and that is the ultimate lesson.
