He wants us to worship him like slaves, and do his bidding, whatever it is. It would see he is little more than an arrogant tyrant, caught up in his own power.

That's certainly not the God of my understanding.

He asks nothing of the sort. He gives 10 laws to live by and to live by these laws will give you a fruitful life.
Otherwise He asks nothing of you but your love. Loving someone is not slavery.
The bible even tells us this....
Acts 17:24 YHWH (G_D) that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Ruler of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Acts 17:25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

God doesnt force anyone to worship him. Its called free will. You chose to worship and he gives lots of blessings. Every day I see benefits come my way that are more than just coincedence. Sure he blesses the just and unjust here on earth but to the ones that believe and rejoice in him... we get extra blessings even if its just a great feeling for the day.

He doesn't want mindless worship; He wants us to believe in His word, and His son Jesus, He's against mindless worship. What good is it if you don't know what you're worshiping or doing?
He does want us to do His bidding; believe, repent, love, and have hope

GOD 'demands" nothing of us. HE gave us the gift of free will. GOD wants us to love one another as we love ourselves. HE only wants us to obey HIS 10 commandments. That's not so difficult, is it ?

He does not demand anything from you. You have free will from Him to do as you like. This way He will know who truly loves Him.

If you believe serving God is hard, try being a slave to your sinful nature!
Jesus says, "My burden is easy and My yoke is light." Believe Him!

Obviously you're only talking about the Christian God (and possibly the Islamic God as well).
