So basically your god is going to punish people who don't worship him until you do worship him? Yeah, totally sounds like a guy worthy of worship. Right up there with Kim Il Sung and Leopold II. Sounds like a great guy. Really.
No, I wouldn't (willingly) worship the god of the bible. Even if I did believe he existed. He sounds like a terrible deity, and I'm not sure why everyone thinks he's so great (aside from the fact that he agrees with many of their prejudices). The biblical god is love in the same way that Lord Voldemort is a friend of Harry Potter. That is to say, not at all. If anything he's an enemy of love. There's enough hate inspired by his religion that I can't really see how he'd be anything else.
There's nothing that makes him worthy of worship. "Worship him because he's all powerful" is basically saying that might makes right.
