If gods purpose as I have been taught, is that one day the earth will be a paradise like state with no evil. Back to its original Eden conditions. Proving that Satan, Adam, and Eve were wrong to reject gods sovereignty and humans are not capable of ruling themselves... how would it serve his purpose if people worshipped him out of fear of him killing them rather than from their hearts?1. He wouldn't, unless he wants us to know he's there, that is. He can't gives a brain with limited capacity to understand reality and refuse to work within that limit if he truly wants us to know he's watching.
2. Only if you first assume he created everything. Logic and reasoning doesn't work that way.
3. That really depends on the god.
4. Beats me. I'm not sure how worshiping serves him at all. It seems unnecessary when you're all-knowing to create some simple human just to worship you. Megalomania anyone?
