If God created the universe and everything in it, it seems perfectly reasonable that a supreme being capable of such a feat would ask (or demand, depending on how you see it) for worship. After all, if God created everything, including us, then we owe him everything. You could say that God is asking for recognition of what he created. When people refuse to worship him, then they discredit his achievement. I'd be pretty insulted if someone used what I made for them and then insulted and berated me.

That would mean God also created the reason that my hypothetical wife passed away recently. Should I be grateful that he makes my hypothetiical life a living hell?
He also created some people who were born to live under horrific circumstances throughout their lives, should I be grateful for that to?
If God created everything, then he is not fair at all. Not. One. Bit. (to quote the Joker :P )
Anyway, let's say that God did create Earth, but not everything that happens on it (something I believe and hope you were assuming in your post). What he made in that case was not automatical happiness (to be grateful about), but a tool for me to use as I wish. If I use this tool to spread nothing but love and happiness (though choose not to believe in the existence of God), do the people who received my love owe God or me anything? What's more important; the guy who invented the tool, or the guy who chose to use the tool for a good cause? And would the good cause not be valid since I chose not to believe in God during the process?
Please, answer those questions.
