Coming in late here, but . .
The question, as stated, is . . . well, strange to me.
I guess I have always struggled with "serve and worship".
If to serve god is the same as helping your fellow man, I find that acceptable.
I get stuck on the worship part though. I've never quite understood that, except as a mindfulness exercise that is meant to assist one with service. Or maybe as a means of establishing and maintaining a sense of value of god, others and self . . . maybe.
But, you see, that would be me defining god, self and others and creating that value; would it not?
