Is the worship of God really necessary?

Has no believer ever asked himself/herself whether this part of God is actually necessary, or even justified? Especially when the cold truth is that we are suppost to be willing to commit beyond horrific actions just to show how much we love our creator. I mean, he once told Abraham, one of the most central figures when it comes to the Abrahamic religions (obviously), to kill his son, and Abraham was just about to do so, to God's relief, when God finally decided to call it off. Thus proving that God would rather watch us kill our families than stop worshipping him. 

What I find even worse is that if you refuse to obey his demands you are commended to eternal damnation. From this, you can draw quite a few parallels with modern day dicators (which is essentially what God also is). I think this is why religious fundamentialists oppose democracy (well, at least partly), as it brings people round to this way of thinking which is in conflict with their own religion order. They aren't exactly going to look kindly on some kind of Heavenly revolution that seeks to bring elections to choose the ruler of the universe are they.

Yeah.. when you dont ask for forgiveness. Anyway, I think you have to be pretty sinful to be in eternal damnation. Something of a murder or suicide, a caliber of a mortal sin. These things can be overcome by human judgement and only God will know if you truly committed those crimes. IE: not hindered by a mental illness of some sort.

Plus if you think about God's commandments. They are actually for the good of mankind.
