Why would an omniscient, omnipotent being want to be worshiped, what benefit would it give such a being?

The Bible tells us that God is jealous. It's his middle name. basically, since being perfect and all-powerful is not enough, he requires a constant ego boost to get through eternity.

So he created angels, but apparently got sloppy and lost half of them to Rebellion. So he created humans. And got really sloppy. So he's given up now and spends all the time playing Xbox and watching the game Show Channel in order to drown out the screams from Hell and the terrified choruses of praise from the souls in Heaven.

You know I've been wondering the same thing for a while now. Why would something so beyond our comprehension want anything to do with us? We think we're important enough that this being would actually benefit from our worship? What a joke. (But I have to be careful what I say or this powerful deity that people worship might smite me).

Is there some reason to assume the worship is meant to benefit God? A zen master will let his students bow to him in order to help them overcome their ego, not because it does the master any good.

God desires relationship.

"Worship" is the natural reaction of a minion to an all powerful creator - ergo it is relationship.

Have you considered that worshpping one's Creator might actually benefit the creation?

Uhj, it's BECAUSE He IS omnipotent & omniscient.

Loving others is loving God.

GOD loves also. Don't you want to be loved?
