A good and a very moral God, would not need to be worships. In more primitive times, people did not understand the world very well, and nature sometimes would do bad things to them. They would think that the gods were mad or displeased, and they would worship their gods, so as to keep them from causing trouble. Our traditional religions were born in a primative period, before science explained a lot of how reality works. God is good for guiding us, and helping us understand how to be morally and spiritually attuned to the universe. We need to update our spiritual ideas and our picture of God.

really the question isn't posed precisely the way you're posing it in universal Christianity. listed decrease than are 3 examples. the following is an party from the Westminster Cathechism (Presbyterian) Q. a million. what's the manager end of guy? A. guy’s chief end is to glorify God,[a million] and to relish him perpetually. The Baltimore Catechism (Catholic) 3. Why did God make us? God made us to coach forth His goodness and to percentage with us His eternal happiness in heaven. the following is a Baptist catechism Q. what's the manager end of guy? A. guy's chief end is to glorify God (a million Cor. c4ca4238a0b92382dcc509a6f75849b0:3c4ca4238a0b92382dcc509a6f75849b), and to relish him for ever word those statements really do not handle why God created us. really they handle the manager end or purpose that guy has. i understand this would sound slightly technical, in spite of the indisputable fact that the point is significant. yet another aspect you're lacking, and that's our fault as Christians for no longer articulating obviously adequate, and that is God isn't pushed by technique of choose. he's pushed by technique of love. So he would not choose us to do something. He loves us. it is what drives him. So he would not choose worship. we favor to worship if something. i do not assume this helped, yet i tried.

Believe it or not, But God did not create Us 'to worship' Him at all! That's what the angels do. His plan and purpose was to have a 'Godfamily'. People with whom He could spend time and share Himself with. We were created to be loved by Him and to love Him in return. As a person draws near to the 'Presence of God', they can't help but be awed by His Glory! If you really know Him, you don't have to be coaxed into praising and or worshipping Him. It comes naturally. When you see a beautiful sunset or a majestic snow covered mountain, does someone have to tell you to 'be Wowed'? Of course not! It's the same thing. It's only one small part of relationship with God. It Isn't any different than 'a significant other' needing or appreciating recognition or affirmation for something 'nice' they may have done for you. I'm astounded by how small the perception of God seems to be on the forum!

YES , do you see the Sun ?
How it worships ? it is every moment in it's orbit specified by God , it's Creator , And so on , worships all creations ,
Humans are the Most Relaxed Creatures to worship ,
Because they have also given an ability to Sin , And this is also from God ,
So we'll pray and we'll Sin and repent and seek his kind forgiveness ,
If we do not pray and are not seeking forgiveness for our sins ' then we fail the Test Given to us as "free will".

One would think that ...especially if you lived here in the Bible belt :P
But all comes down weither you belief that a "GOD" is that self centered or do you look at it as God is seeking the best from you, and your worship is apart of it.
Sorry im not big into religion, but thats my two cents

Now take that one step further. Why would an all powerful god create anything when he doesn't need anything? That is just illogical. So I am telling you now. Christianity and all of the abrahamic religions are a massive falsehood.

I believe God created us with the ability to choose....So we don't have to worship him.....but being that he is the creator, I think it's highly recommended....:)

You'd have be one sad loser to create people to worship you. No one that powerful can be that sad so he clearly doesn't exist.
