I opened up Rhythm's post... total incompetence. But I guess I'll respond... once...
Use? Considering he is the source of all res, unum, aliquid, bonum, et verum, I think he's pretty useful. However, worship so that you can get use is not worship. That's called "using people".
Quoting myself... "The reason I follow my God's commandments isn't that he decides morality nor is it that he obeys morality (Euthyphro)..."
I think you answered your own question at the end there. Also, since my God has never murdered, I think he's clear.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
