No one is forcing you to worship in any way. Do as you please.

Why should you bow down and worship ? Is someone holding a gun to your back ?
Also, what does choosing to be here have to do with bowing ?Sorry, I have no idea of how many people fear the creator. I do know that for two thousand years Christians were taught to "fear the Lord". He was a nasty old S.O.B. who would send you down to hell for breaking the smallest possible rule.
Fifty or sixty years ago he mellowed out and became a loving forgiving old grandfather type. Now you can do whatever you please because all will be forgiven. What has never been explained is how anyone discovered the great change.

I don't believe It wants worship. I believe that is solely what man claims in order to put people under control. A Perfect Being doesn't Need or Want anything... it is Perfect.

You didn't choose to be here, but your Creator chose you to be here.
You have a purpose that He designed you for and I guarantee that if your breath was taken from you this very moment, you would be bowing down, grasping your throat and looking for your Creator to breathe your breath back into your lungs.
Instead, He continues to breathe life into you moment to moment, in spite of your expressed hate toward Him. That deserves a worship or two, don't you think?

90% fear that we read about in the Bible means-Reverence God,and that in itself means consider Him in all things.
The remaining 10% of fear God means just that-woe! to those who committed evil acts- for example,kill an innocent,woe!
Don`t take lightly what the creator God has given, and life itsself should be revered as wonderful*
We are wonderfully made and to be grateful for to be created is to me astounding, and leads me to worship with the up most reguard, and reverence, and awe, for the creator God*
Death is dark and Life is light*
I choose life and am grateful for it.
I choose to celebrate life, and Love, and dance, and praise which leads to worship the life Giver!
I look up to give thanks for life because that is where the light comes from.
I dont fear Light and Love/God
I do however worship,how could one not?
You have been given the right to choose/free will.
Iam not imposing my opinion,it is just my opinion,and belief

If they don't fear the most powerful Creator, they would fear all sorts of meaningless creatures such as microbe, virus, fungus!

Don't Bow down to anyone. You will get all this "God chose you to be here" from the God Squad but it's just playing on words. They have nothing to back it up.
Stand tall my man. Be yourself and not some sheep.

Yes indeed. Believers make up over 95% of America. Maybe we are on to something?
BTW, it is not a matter of fear for all believers, but a matter of loving God.
Also, you don't have to be here, it is your choice!

You bow to the IRS by paying taxes.
You bow to the law when you stop at a red light.
You bow to the wishes of your wife by not having an affair with another woman.
Well, maybe not that last one. Who am I to say....

It is not "fear" in the way that it has evolved through time through error of christian influence. The word used for fear in Hebrew, translates in the old scriptures to mean "Respect, reverence and awe." NOT FEAR...
Christians have taken that reverence and changed it to fear because it worked toward their purpose in the Papal and Christian inquisitions the tradition stuck and remained unfortunately through generational error.
God is not all about "fear." God comes in, when a man decides to surrender his life purpose to a greater good, a higher cause. It is willing submission, it is giving life a purpose beyond a selfish human primal need to survive. It is art inspiring; awe, love, altruisim and dedication to something other than the self that the true believers succumb to.
"He that would go first, go last." This, is what that, means!
Most non religious people cannot now, and unfortunately never will comprehend the unfathomable blessings found in self sacrifice as a choice to follow One God to unite your life force with the original intelligence. It is, always has been and always will be something you simply need to ASK FOR! So no, you shouldn't... If you don't want it that is? No one is making you but the error of Christianity.
Lose the self and gain everything beyond it, incourage the self and that truely is... all you'll ever have, experience or understand.
Following God is a choice made of love, born of reverence, respect and awe for the intelligence, the energy force that created life. The intelligence that science searches for but will never ever admit to: Even if God was placed into their hands. Science does not look to find God, it looks to find Godly power. And you can't actually have your cake and eat it too unfortunately for them, they give up the one, for the promise of finding the other on their own merit and like with the error of christians, they force it on those who do not understand... and call it truth, call it something they swear it is, when it isin't.
God requires a certain accountability that science is not now and never will be prepared to submit to, for the things it feels is can do guilt (respect) free without Him.
So to answer your question directly... Jesus said; "I stand at the door of your heart and I knock." He waits for you to want to open it. If you don't want it. Don't open it! But don't expect to ever know anything beyond your own nose.
If that is all you really want to come of your life is a death... at the end of it? Realize and understand this... (through respect, reverence and awe.) That you are (believe it or not) made in His image, like it or not, admit to it or not, and nothing changes that.
Your life is yours to do with what you want to do with it, your spirit as well. But, knowing this. Why ask for an eternity of absolutely nothing... because you failed to want for yourself what was right beyond the tip of your own nose if you only made a simple request, not out of fear... but out of respect, reverence and awe for the things that we can't know completely in our present state of limited sensory perception? We as of right now are living as an incomplete picture. God connects the dots to our fullfillment.
Your spirit will last for an eternity. Your intelligence, your life force does not just go out like a light when your body fails to continue to house it.
The best way I have for you to really understand this. Is to take a trip to the mourge and really look, I mean really look hard at death.
Why when the blood stops pumping and the heart stops working does the intelligence also cease... Well, It doesn't...
It lives on, it is the spirit force and it is... denied or not, eternal.
I wouldent wish an eternity of desired and strived for nothingness for anything this world ever had to give or offer me while I was here.
In the real understanding of that... there is a certain ammount of fear. But it is obvious why... Christians tell you "YOU HAVE TO."
They are wrong... God said; " Choose ye today, life or death, cursing or blessing." God said CHOOSE. and that choice, is no ones but yours to make and live with as an energy force and an intelligence.
Now, because you have asked this question. Let your choice be made. Because you will not be able to say "I didn't know." Now that you have asked.
