i may not be so almighty as he is but i can really live without his love...
Man, if he is so almighty why isnt he doing something better with his time than expecting his creation to love and worship him??? or in case he is so desperate for love, why doesnt he create other creations who blindly love him???

He doesn't need you to love Him.
You need Him to love you.
Time will tell who is wise and who is foolish.
I am prepared to wait.

This is really an argument for the existence of free will. Let me give you an comparison to answer your question. Let us say you build these android who can do anything and everything that a human can do however you must program him/her to do what you want. Now let's say that you want to program him/her to love you. The "love" that you would be getting wouldn't be real love, it'd be forced relationship. Your android would show you a certain amount of false affection based on its programming. God doesn't want that kind of love and so gave mankind free will. The freedom to choose Him or reject Him; the freedom to love Him, hate Him, or be indifferent to Him.
Likewise let's say your parents were the same way, or you children. Wouldn't you want their love to be true and genuine and not something forced upon them or programmed into them? Would you like your wife to just love you because program X says to kiss you? If we are being honest everyone would say that's not what they would want in a relationship.
That's not what God wants in our relationship to Him.

Actually, if God stopped caring about you, you'd drop down dead right this second. No offense of that but its the truth. People don't realize the blessings that God gives us. Rarely do people think about the fact that he's the one that gives you life, takes you to work/school, and so forth. God gave you the power of free will. By not forcing us to love him, that's how he knows who's for him, against him, or who just don't care.

God is an extremely vindictive guy if he exists. God supposedly created this world just so that he could have creatures to love him, since he wants love, that implies that God has a lack, therefore is not perfect. God wants this love so much, that he will torture the people that don't love him for eternity, and the people that do will get to go up to heaven and just praise him for eternity.
What an egomaniacal and vindictive god Christians worship.

Who actually declared the divinity of Jesus? Son/father of God or equal to god?
Is there any single, unequivocal statement in the Bible whereby Jesus himself declares, "I am God, therefore worship me." The act of begetting is a physical act and such act is against God’s nature. The Qur’an 19:35 says: "It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a son. Glory be to Him! When He determines a matter He only says to it "Be," and it is." (Maryam 19:35) The teachings of Jesus as the Son of God were not preached by Jesus nor accepted by Jesus, but were taught by Paul as supported in Acts 9:20: "And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God." Did Jesus ever claim to be God or say, "Here am I, your God, worship me"? The answer is no. For there is no single, unequivocal statement in the Bible whereby Jesus himself declares, "I am God, therefore worship me." Virtually all of the more than two thousand verses of the epistles of Paul are his own fabrications to include Romans 9:5 that says, depending upon which Bible you read: "...Christ came, who is overall, the eternally blessed God."

Because its the thought that counts. Everyone wants to be loved by the free will of the other person. Not because they have to.
God bless

Remember Jesus loves you, he's just not "in love" with you, I too gave myself to Jesus and he never called me back.

My pastor talked about that ... it's because we're happiest when we're worshipping God and God wants us to be happy.

God is full of vanity and jealousy. He even admits it in the bible.
