I think the real question to be asked is whether worship based on lies is worship at all. If one is worshiping a god by going to church and such, based on the notion that if this isn't done, they will go to some hell, then they are simply wasting time.
To me, worship is an understanding between a beng and the eternal. It is a communication and a sharing. If this doesn't happen, anything else is farce.

No; why would He? He tells us not to lie, so why would He accept worship based on lies. The Bible says that lying and falsehood are detestable to God; meaning he HATES it. And, Jesus taught that the father of the lie is Satan the devil (John 8:44). So if our worship is based on lies, who are we really serving....God or Satan?

OF COURSE NOT!!!! THE BIBLE STATES JOHN 8:44 THAT THE DEVIL IS THE FATHER OF LIES AND THE BIBLE ALSO STATES THAT ALL WHO LIE AMONG OTHER THINGS WILL BE DESTROYED IN GOD'S DAY OF FURY. THEN GOD WIL NOT ACCEPT WORSHIP THAT IS BASED ON LIES. ALSO THE BIBLE STATES THAT GOD DOES NOT LIE. THEREFORE ANY TYPE OF WORSHIP THAT GOES AGAINST WHAT GOD IS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO HIM!

No, Satan is the father of the lie (John 8:44). How can he accept worship based on something that He hates and that Satan loves.
God is interested in accurate knowledge (see 1 Timothy 2:4).

John 4:23
Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
John 4:24
God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth."

The body have 2 faces; lie will not a good base because usually bring with hate and cheating. The use of lie is being for a dyeing man who want a happy answer and let him dye comfortable and calm, why not?

God looks at the heart. If the person is doing something for God that she truly believes in godly and uplifting, even if she has been tricked, God takes that into consideration.

No, God won't be able to settle for worship consistent with a lie. God won't be able to settle for something consistent with a lie. devil can provide strategies to the Bible to purpose to throw human beings off and get them to tutor faraway from God. that's what he does.
