If God requires continuous worship, why doesn't he just create an army of mindless drones to worship him for all eternity?

God never asked anyone to worship him.
In these capitalistic days, marketing is the buzzword.
People have sprung up as agents of God. Whoever fails in real life goes there to get trained. Then they have elections amongst themselves.
When they fight, they open a parallel agency of God and give it a new name. And the game goes on.
These agents promise a lot and deliver little - yet they manage to lead hoardes of people and become demi-gods themselves. Sometimes they also control governments.
These agents are the ones who say that God wants you to pray (through them if possible). And when you pray through them, they wield more power over you. And remember, they are the ones who have knowledge of the book. You never really understood it - so better trust them. They also know how to erase your sins.
Then they tell you to share the miracle with others and coax, cajole, bribe others to join the band-wagon - and erase sin from this world. If not anything else, the concept of sin and retribution will attract many people. To cap it all, they give their mansions a glossy look and collect donations and feed some poor people.
God is not a part of this race. Why blame him? Did he come to you and ask you to pray?

God doesn't care if we worship him (her, it, or they). The rules were made up by man and man is an idiot! Christianity especially prefers "an army of mindless drones" because they cause the least trouble and will not involve themselves with troubling independent thought.
It's my opinion that god wants us to act as if we had some sense of decorum, respect and love for our fellow man (and woman). That we protect and cherish all that he has blessed us with, and that we live in peace and harmony.

Actually, God creates spirit-sparks, endowed with a miniature portion of the Godhead, which generally mature into permanent atoms in the body of God.
Some groups become a little sophomoric, and dabble in relative good and evil, even though forewarned as to the expected consequences.
"You're bad and God's mad" is not the whole story. A few hours' reading in "Climb the Highest Mountain," Mark Prophet, and "Men in White Apparel," Ann Ree Colton, to note two genuine authors and seers, allows much insight.

God does not require continuous worship, he's God, not a needy, attention seeking human being.
Do parents require continous love from their kids??? NO they automatically get it.
Of course there are rebellious kids that chose to disrespect their parents and act ingrateful towards them but the parent 9 times out of 10, continues to love that child.
Even after delibarate disrespect....for example..like you.

God did not ask us to worship him. OK some God did.
But he/she actually did not ask us to do anything per se. Some worship him out of fear, some are thankful, some hopeful and some just have looked out to the sky and realized how small (their own complex?) they are compared to what is out there.

He's The Only One Who deserves to be worshipped. He's The Supreme Commander-in-Chief.

God doesn`t command you to worship him,though he sent his son down to earth to save us and teach us the right way to live.The bible says that if you don`t worship the LORD even the greatest rocks will worship him.The bible also said that he is the creator of this world and that if you live the right way and believe in him you will go to heaven to live with him forever. In the Bible THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS it tells us all about it cuz the Bible is the word of God. Read it and understand it. Go to church, tell others about it. Ask the priest.

No, He does not have an inferiority complex. He does not "require" continuous worship.
Those of us who love Him WANT to worship Him.
Have YOU ever in your life loved anyone?
Have YOU ever wanted to be loved?
Do you even know what love is?
When you love someone, you want to know more about that person. You want to be around that person. You want to make that person happy.
Maybe one day you will see what love is all about.

Only gods of a lower plane require or enforce mortals to worship them. When their worshippers die out, they too will wither away of a slow and painful death in the Alternate Realms. Thats why they are so violent, fierce and cruel to ensure their mortal worshipper continue to "feed" them... e.g: The Greek gods like Aphrodite, Zeus, Hera, The Asgardians, The Egyptian gods like Isis Horus Osiris and even the Ancient Ones of the Celts like the Lady of the Lake or Morrigan.... they are all gone and almost forgotten

God is a spirit, hence he does not have a complex. He that worship him must do so in spirit for that is the best way to nourish that spiritual part of you.
