Why does God want people to worship him?
Seriously why does God want people to worship and believe in him, why does he care?
Also, i don't mean to disrespect anything here, but it seems as though your afterlife choices are believe in God or get tortured relentlessly for all eternity in hell. Not saying God doesn't exist, hell even i believe he exists, these questions just confuse me because why would he do this?
That's another thing, we live a finite existence therefore we can only commit a finite number of sins. The punishment for which lasts for an infinite amount of time. The punishment extremely outweighs the crime.
Finally, one of the commandments is "Thou shalt not kill" and yet we kill things all the time such as chickens and cows. We are sinners by nature, its a little unfair to suffer for all eternity for that.

The Bible says we were created in God's image, so I guess that might explain some of the human emotions and desires of the Christian god.
Maybe God wants to be worshipped for the same reason Hitler wanted to be worshipped.

Gods don't exist. And the one that the Hebrews invented was just a murderous psychopathic murderer.
No thinking person would worship such an individual....a nut job.
Read the bible up to Leviticus, and you'll see what I mean. Or just read Malachi.... it's short. Or just read Job.
That god is a true horror.

God always had angels to love him, but he made us so that we could love him by free will. He love you more than you could ever know and wants you to love him.
