Is the worship of God really necessary?

For me, I worship/pray to God because I appreciate all the things he has done to be. I.. I just do it you know. I think worshipping him is one way to express my gratitude to him. I worship at my own will.

Personally, I dont think it is REQUIRED to do so. But by just believing in God, not doing anything about it and just keep it at the back of your mind is kind of... not morally right.

I can understand that you and millions (well, I guess even billions) of others want to worship God out of appreciation. There is nothing wrong about that, and if you enjoy doing it I am happy for you. Just wanted to make that clear :)

As for your second paragraph, if God told me that he created the world I would highly appreciate it. Just like how I currently appreciate the work of Thomas Edison and other great inventors. But the thing is that God has not made it clear to me that he, in fact, did create the world. No science supports that he created the universe (though it's also true that science don't know how the universe was created), which gives me no compelling reason to believe that he did so.

And despite this lack of indications that God created the world he still demand that we all thank and worship him for creating it. I don't get that. If he don't want skewed opinions on him and his work he should make it clear once again (since we didn't live two thousand years ago when he supposedly sent his son to confirm it) that he is the creator. Asking us to set aside science and common sense (as in: demanding compelling evidence and the fact that a human being cannot be resurrected) is asking too much, in my opinion.

 

After all, you can choose not to believe in God's message even after compelling evidence of his existence has risen.

Yes there is an estimated 2.3 billion christrians in the world followed by Islam at 1.5 billion.
