You and all the fundies keep anthropomophizing God into a personality which is always a super-ego projection. Stahp.
So basically you're just going off script here? Because we're talking about the God of the bible here. Not whatever it is you believe in and/or worship (which still would not be worthy of worship--because fear does not make a good reason for worship at all)
And you take the account of God in the bible to be the beginning and end of Man's experience with the eternal God?
That's the biggest cherry picked strawman around.
The original, older and far longer lasting idea's of God were of infinite formless substance and raw force.
Worship is a practice, an action. The in the action of lighting my way with a torch in the darkness, I "worship" the flame (I keep it tended with fuel/material and away from water). I also fear the flame, keeping it away from my body and flammable material. Respectful action based on the knowledge of it's nature.
