Thx for all answers but Most the answers im getting is on the basis of expectation n that sort of thing. Like if u would create something or be a king wouldnt u want people to worship u? Sure i would. That is Bcoz im human. And it is very human to hv such expectations. God is supposedly not human. He is supposed to be beyond all this. Then y does he expect worship. Or is he just a super super developed human / person from some other universe teying out some backyard science by making us??

God created the Earth and all that is a part of it, every answer that we need medically can be found , he gave us Beautiful Sunrises, Sunsets, he created us in his own image, Loves us unconditionally, and gave us freedom of choice. A human body is the most intricate, it lets us know if something is wrong, you look at how awesome nature is the different colors, textures, shapes, the world that he created has everything we need, is we don't destroy it our-selfs. And he came down to Earth in human form "Jesus" to experience every affliction and or sin that man would encounter. When "Jesus" died he left the helper (Holy Spirit) to guide us and to show us the Truth is we should ask. I think that God knows his children even before they are born, I think that it us that leave Gods' Love and come down here to Earth to experience and to teach others about God of the Old Testament and the teachings of his son in the New Testament. H e will always be there for you, there is nothing that you can not tell him (even in anger), he is always there to comfort you, I mean you can not do that with people...Right??? I worship him for all that he was, is, and always will be...

Ok I'll try to explain my view of this. Imagine being in a dark room all alone. For a very very long time. You have no cards, no tv, no books nothing to entertain you or keep your mind from being bored beyond belief. (Even Gilligan had coconuts and sand to play with!) Now think of that person in that room as God. So one day God decided to make a world, something he can watch grow and be proud of. Kind of like growing plants in your garden. You may not enter them into any fairs to win prizes but you know they grew well and are proud of that. Now God decides to step it up a bit. So he creates man. Because lets face it man is a bit more interesting than a plant or two. Well imagine you gave birth to some children but they really didnt know you existed. Wouldnt you feel a bit unappreciated? Yeah you would. So pretty much the word worship just means "Hey, I made you, the very least you could do is acknowledge I exist and live by some rules I have for you." Because when you are young your parents know best, right? 'Don't touch the hot stove burner, quit putting pennies up your nose, don't bite your sister, etc'. Don't kill anyone, don't take stuff that isn't yours, don't have sex with someone elses husband/wife... etc.
Sorry 'bout the rant but I hope this helps you and I don't sound like I"m on crack. :D

Worship is at the core of the existence of any deity.
That is why any deity creates beings. For worship.
And what makes it more complicated; those being have to freely choose to worship that deity in order for it to be of any value to a deity.
A god simply can not make beings that are preprogrammed to worship.
Because that would not real worship. (It would be like receiving a plate full of plastic food.)

Without worship, deities simple cease to exist….
Or worse, they end up playing some small bit in a disney movie.

Clearly God has emotions.He showed anger at Sodom and Gomorrah. He showed compassion to the Hebrews. "Let MY People Free"He told us straight up I Am Jealous,put no god before me.He earned our worship he gave us everything.if you work all week do you want a paycheck?God has wishes , He wishes us to chose good over evil.No worldly ambitions ? don't you mean earthly? I think God is creating everyday. The universe is endless.If I give you a million dollars will you say thanks ? well God gave us everything. He deserves honor, and glory.

It is not that he gets some kick out of being worshiped. Rather, it teaches us as imperfect humans on how to be. If he is perfect, we need to worship perfection in order to strive to become more perfect ourselves. If it was a power thing, then he would just make himself known to everyone and everyone would worship him. Instead, He gives us just enough where faith is necessary. He is trying to mold us into something greater, and this apparently is the method He is using.

Unlike other false Gods, god is very real and tangible. From the begining of creation he always had a personal relationship with humans. The problem come when people try to stray from him. He doesn't want anyone to parish, but he can not allow sin into heaven.

God is the Creator, that is why. He alone is worthy to be worshipped and praised. If you created all things, wouldn't you want your creation to be eternally thankful and at least acknowledge your work?
