Thiests - Assuming God exists, why should we worship him?

[Captain Scarlet]

I'm not traipsing through 6 pages just to apologize for voting without reading the OP. I guess I see worship as more reverent respect and less on-your-knees lip service , but hey we all project a little of ourselves into our view of reality hunh. I have a lot of respect for my father who raised me and loved me all of my life. I'd give my life for his in a second. I can see how much more I would love him if I knew he sacrificed everything he had for me. How much more would that Love grow if I knew he not only died for me but to save everyone. Get the correlation? Plus this univers is frickin awesome, not to mention all of the day-to-day wonders of this world... it rocks and if he created it.. endless enumerative kudos.

1. There was no sacrifice if you beleive Jesus of Nazerath was god. He merely went through a phase transition to a superior realm and would have known thats what would happen.
2. What does it mean to say you "love" an immaterial, superntural entity and that this is returned. You cannot see, smell, touch, hear, talk to, taste? Every other sense of love we have is backed by our emotions which are tied to our physical state and brain chemistry. We love for a number of reasons all of them related to physical events.
3. Why is this love only available to a certain group of people? The religious demographic is almost wholly related to culture and tradition; meaning billions miss out? So why would god not want everyone to share in this.
4. The universe is also a very hostile and dangerous place. 99.99999999 etc % would instantly kill us. Yes we all look at it with awe, but why would a god maroon us on a planet that is only one capable of supporting us, yet earth is also filled with natural disasters.
5. Genocidal commands in the OT

It could go on, these are obviously evidential topics debated before; but they are all still waiting a convincing answer. From a logical perspective however we can't both have freewill and there be a god axiomatically worthy of worship, becuase we have to yield our freewill to perform the worship. Unless you are to argue that freewill is active only to the point at which you have decided to come to a god, after that you have to give up freewill. Thus you would argue that we don't have freewill at least in matters of moral autonomy.
