What does God get out of being worshipped?

You're right, no one is innocent, but Shaky is right in saying some Christians use the literal interpretation of the bible to condemn innocent people people they disagree with.

You're misunderstanding what God is looking for. He isn't seeking robotic devotion to feed His ego. He's looking for communication. He wants us to communicate with Him through prayer and devotion. He wants us to recognize that we have been separated from Him due to sin and the only way to reestablish the lost connection to Him is through faith in Christ Jesus. With the connection restored, we can communicate with him as a child would his/her parent. He is our Father. He wants us to communicate our problems to Him, express our fears to Him, etc. That is what God wants from us. He wants to be our Father. We need to be as loving and devoted to Him as we would our own parents.

Beautiful post. 👆

Communication can include dissent. God does not take kindly to that.

No, he doesnt seem to.

We've discussed before that while your reasoning is right, the last word in your statement shouldn't be infinite but something more like "exhaustive". Infinite possibilities does not mean every possibility.

But "ever possibility" cannot be ruled out.

^^^Point.
