Why would god care whether we "worship" him?

Why would god care whether we "worship" him?

Why would he even care if we believe he exists? Does he have low self-esteem?

    amen brother thank god we have people left in this world who will stand up for truth loyalty integrity and the american way

    an argument i make to the Jehovah witnesses is basically the same i ask them what attributes god has they say perfection and the four omni's are basically perfection completeness wholeness anyway i ask then why create anything the only reason you create something is 1st because god is a victim of determinism and has no other choice or 2nd he was lacking missing he needed something or 3rd ego pride etc because he can and since god is all powerful and always right then might makes right and what god says goes so Christians believe in heaven and hell so no matter what happens gods right perfect all loving etc it makes no sense that a perfect being an all knowing loving all present all powerful being would feel bad if he tortured killed caused sickness and disease did all these things and more forgive killers pedophiles etc just because they asked why would it how would it affect him on any level would he feel more pleasure if more people were servants to him to his ego a continuous bliss/heaven doesn't make sense anyway you have to have something to compare it to if you were in complete bliss for a week it would become normal and you'd feel nothing we need ups and downs and according to the bible he will toss sin and death hell etc into the lake of fire so if we don't have our sins our memories we're not ourselves first of all we are mindless Frankenstein's monsters stepford house wives Manchurian candidate zombies so here we are no sin no memory nothing to compare our emotions to and we're expected to believe we'll experience total bliss no ups or downs even if god did it made it happen someway some how we wouldn't be happy we'd have given up freewill for a hollow smile and a mental patient's head nod we would cease to exist i have another question on here where i go into detail about the stupidity of gods supposed powers and i go into the above mentioned things as well but anyway give it up it's a fairy tale Santa for adults it doesn't make since never has never will

    It is a very strange teaching, and it is quite clearly a brainwashing technique, and it is even used on this board quite regularly...trying to get the non-believers to fear eternal damnation if they don't start believing something for which there is no evidence.

    But, it is very logivally flawed. There could just as easilly be an god that sends all theists to Hell for worshiping the wrong gods.

    I agree with you. If theer is any GOD and what he is as per text of any religion, we shall not make his so low that he desires our worship.

    Nah. God doesn't care that we don't worship him.

    Only Christians do, because they can't stand the thought of living people not following their blind practice, e.g. every war started by Christians or bombing..

    The question IS:

    WHY SHOULD WE CARE?
