1. Do we who post to this internet 'spirituality' forum have 'spiritual' needs?
2. If so, what are they?
3. How are 'spiritual' needs fulfilled and by whom?

Define spiritual (in terms that make sense to me please).
I don't know what it means.
EDIT: or specifically I don't know what you mean by it.
I can go look up what some dictionary's think it means but there are too many different meanings and interpretations used.
And what is relevant to answering your question is what YOU meant by it.
My gene ...[text shortened]... n't have spiritual needs...
But that's going to depend largely on how you define the term.

What do YOU mean by the term " 'spiritual' needs "?
If you don't know what you mean then how are peoples answers going to mean anything to you?

Only if you and googlefudge lack one of your own or one of you could try Googling the word. Your bodies are material and temporal. Do either of you believe your minds and memories are also material as opposed to immaterial?

How many times are you going to ask this question before you accept my answer?
My thoughts, feelings, memories, and personality, are produced by and contained within my brain.
They are stored in the structure and state of the roughly 100 billion neurons that make up my brain.
My body provides sensory input, life support, and motive capabilitie ...[text shortened]... thing I think of as me is simply a product of my physical brain.
When it is destroyed so am I.
