There is no reason for worship. It's utterly pointless. Especially for an all powerful, loving and all knowing god. Only man desires to be worshipped which highlights the fact that this god they describe seems to have the same desires and personality as the believer.
Perhaps the real god is nothing like they describe. That he doesn't send anyone to heaven or hell. Perhaps he does decide who goes to heaven or hell but judges your actions in life and not through belief or lack of. Which means many believers will be judged on their actions and not belief and so judged fairly like everybody else.
Who knows?
Personally I don't really deal in 'what ifs', I like to stick to what's known and work my way up from there. The sensible and rational way.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
