Why does an all knowing, all powerful deity NEED us to worship it, unless it's to serve it's own ego.
No, I don't believe in ANY gods, yours included.

Every bit of human body, the word "human" itself, is nothing more but a group of functions existing to serve: thus we, are nothing but the same biological organism that is surviving -ironically- via self inflicted services, which are given to the body since birth.
We cannot even comprehend the idea of independence: everything to us -by default- is defined with the same image -that is us-: a client being served; a cause and effect.
If worship is -in its core- a service, then how is an atheist considered to be a "Godless" human being?
Isn't it more accurate to describe the person's God, as him/herself, his/her nation, his/her government?
If somebody spent all of their lives "worshiping" themselves and claiming to be "atheists", wouldn't that tell us that there are no true atheists?
Consider whatever holy, and spend them years building it up obsessively; and here you go: that's your God.
Humans are made to worship. Made to serve.
Atheism might be defined more accurately with it being the lack of belief in a certain "God(s)", but not all Gods. Every person has a God after all. Nobody is Godless.
More baseless assertions.  Give it up.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.

Why would a god need to be worshiped? what does he/it get out of it?

Not so sorry to derail an entirely redundant and yawnworthy thread, but take the I out of "Leiben" in religious views. Not that "Leiben" would be a real word, but it comes closer to body than life. On second thought, it could be a combination of both, if you aim for that.

There are two streams in the commentators:
1- Angry, sarcastically critics, who actually criticize my username; that I ignore, not due to arrogance, but do to avoid getting sidetracked by fighting windmills.
2- Normal critics, who are normal human beings in the best cases, and communicate through human language.
I can sum the insults:
Spam poster- a burning..butthole?-a person that should not comment on anything, since he is a second class citizen, just like Minimalist refereed to what he believe a good sample for Arabs and Muslim.
If you can add another charge, go please.
I will discuss "some number 2", I'm not ignoring comments I'll be back:
But thought it deserves posting earlier.

This is not a serious proposition. It's full of biases and assumptions.
