Victory over mine enemies.

Hehehe.

Forget the god of religion. He is invisible and utterly silent.

I worship myself. As far as I'm concerned I'm the center of the universe. The stars shine because of me! The sun shines because of me! The earth rotates because of me!

I am the Almighty -- God incarnate.

If you had to choose, which gives you more reason to worship God:

A. His [sic] accomplishments
B. His [sic] status of Godhood

?

Why?

I'm skeptical of the term "worship" -- I don't think it means to me
what it must mean to many (most?) people.

So, if I can insert the word "praise" in place of worship, my answer is...

C. I praise God out of an innate, reasoned humility -- and not as a
consequence of any of my human attempts at comprehending God's
being right or wrong (and thus giving rise to notions such as
accomplishments and/or status).

When my innermost self determines that it is time to say "thank-you,"
I simply do so -- without trying to project my own ideas upon God.

Why?

I choose c).

I recognize that my worship is a result of my own proclivities, not any imagined aspect of God's.

I worship the Lord God who drew me carefully and masterfully to repent sufficiently to enabled His Almighty power to heal me of what seriously harmed me, and He saved me, and continues attending to my mending day by day. And when He desires that I praise Him, and He does, it comes to me like the thrill of a gift from a visiting dear friend. It's not the only time I praise or worship Him. Sometimes He just looks in on me and comforts me against the day, or the hour when somethings lay heavy upon my heart.

Why does and omniscient and omnipotent being have a need to be worshiped?

An omnipotent being would have no needs.

This would include things like living humans required for rituals for dead humans. Why is God (an omnipotent being) tied down by rituals performed by mortal beings? Doesn't that fly in the face of his omnipotence?

The whole damn thing falls apart right there and it isn't the only weak spot to the argument.

I look at the whole thing like a hero. They may or may not care about your worship. They are just doing their thing. You can choose to admire them... or not.

I've chosen the not.

My respect-for-authority-neutralizer device is working flawlessly.
by the way in Hungarian, we can use this as one word: "tekintélytiszteletközömbösítő" - and this is a proper word...

If you baked a cake and a pie and a feted a tremendous feast and the ravenous hoards trampled in and devoured it all and trampled out without so much as a look in your direction how would you feel? God is love. You think he likes it when people fail to notice what he does with his omnipotence..........continually.............forever? You think he does not need friends who know enough to appreciate him? Omnipotence or no a body needs what it needs to keep going. Entropy might affect omnipotence if you fail to keep it in orbit out there, as it were. What if he just no longer gives a crap? huh? What then?

But more than that worshiping God is the greatest joy a human being can have. Does that not figure that he wants us to have this great joy? To know the infinite and eternal God! You think seeing the Taj Mahal is a thrill? hmm? What about seeing God and comprehending the least thing of him? Woweee!

People who do not believe in God are just God stupid. LIke people who just can't get math, or music, or art or put the right kind of condiments on a hot dog. That really sticks in my craw. A man's got to know his limitations pal.
