I don't think I directly said any of what you were asking there Kimster, and I never told you what I believe. I just tossed out an example and a couple facts from the Bible and let you draw your own conclusions from them. From the looks of your reply it does look like I got you thinking too.

I am not a preachy or religious person, you'd have to really hound me to get me to share what I do believe. And then if I did I see many of the people here using anything I say to tear it apart and tell me why my beliefs are wrong.

I will give you something else to consider though. Instead of asking why a god would want or need worship, perhaps you should ask why humans feel the need to worship a god. Why most every culture throught history, even the totally isolated ones, had some kind of spiritual or religious beliefs. If it's all fake and a scam, and used to control and brainwash people then why does most everyone fall for it? Why do we humans in general seem to need something higher to believe in?
