If I have a kid would I expect that kid to worship me? If the kid didn't worship me as the greatest being in all of creation would it be my right to throw him into an inferno for all eternity?

God gives us a free will. He lets us look around at the world and hopes that we recognize the fact that he created everything. When we worship God we can see the truth. I don't think God throws anyone into the lake of fire because they don't want to worship him. Rather people choose to walk away from God and live their lives as their own god. The result is eternal separation from the Creator. The sacrifice that God made for you in his Son Jesus is an open invitation to all. God does not want to exclude anyone. However, people have the free will to decline the invite.

Yes, that concept of God is barbaric. But a few observations: there have always been theists who had a different view of God. From earliest times there were Christian universalists who did not believe in eternal torment. And since the rise of liberal Christianity in the early 19th century, there have been many Christian denominations which have elaborated completely different theologies -- much more adequate to the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth, in my opinion.
To turn the question back to you, what do you mean by "worship"? I would say that God "expects" nothing of the inhabitants of the universe at all. God leads them into an ever-deepening richness of life, rejoices when they accept the leading, and grieves and suffers with them when they reject it. When they have some inchoate experience of God as the ground of existence, order, beauty, and love, they usually respond with love and joy towards that ground, especially when they have the conviction that that ground is not impersonal, but personal and purposive (as it must be, but that's another argument). So love and worship are not the result of obedience to a command, but the genuine response of enlightened hearts to a perceived reality.

I've seen god.
Believe it or not.
what i think is god is always within u, & is never apart from anybody anywhere.
While u worship god, u show ur potential to be a good person.
& worshiping god is not the only way that u went to church or any religious place.
Helping others also a way to worship GOD.
Help others, Other will help u.
This is the most practical meaning, I learned.
I guess, u too.

When you've created the "heavens and the earth" out of nothing, come back and talk to me. Or when you've lived a life of perfection according to absolute truths, not relative ones.
God gives us this life with a choice. To love Him, or to not. It was God's plan all along to give us this choice, that is the purpose of the choice Adam made in the garden of Eden. People ask all the time, why did God just stop sin before it started and avoid all the hassle? We could've just been in communication with Him since the beginning, and never been separated from Him. But He didn't want mindless drones created to love Him, He wanted us to come to Him willingly, He wanted us to make the choice because that kind of love is real.
So, the option is to spend the rest of your eternity with the One you love, or, I believe that if you choose to not allow God in, He is polite and will kindly oblige and step back, and you will spend eternity without God.

Yes its worth worshiping God. He is the Almighty God he is who created us. Your kids should not worship you he should worship God. Your kid should not because you are NOT the greatedst being. How dare you compare youself?
