And by the way, why an omnipotent being would objectively be in need of any kind of worship all along? The level of endurance of omnipotent being's self-confidence must be way above any harm that might be inflicted opon it by non-omnipotent beings.
And there's another account of Yahweh's ungrounded(?) paranoia in Genesis 3. If he's omnipotent, there's no way Adam and Eve's actions were going to hurt them.
I don't know why you would say that. To me, the fact that we were created with emotions signals me that God could very well have emotions. In the bible he demonstrates anger, happiness and love. I assume if he loves he can also be hurt emotionally. Why not?
