God... insecure?

Why is God so insecure? This all-knowing, all-powerful can do anything to his Universe at any time. He could create a new galaxy or end suffering. Why does he require you that you worship him?

The Bible speaks endlessly of worship. In fact, God places worship at the top of the commandments. Obviously, he sees your worship of him as absolutely necessary. It's imperative that you worship God. But why does he need this? Why does God need his little creations spending their lives to building churches, saying prayers, and reading the Bible? It seems as if God is VERY insecure about his worthiness. I mean if I created the Universe in 6 days, I'd be pretty proud of myself. I'd merely sit back and watch the planet grow and sip a cold drink. But that is not good enough for God. He's massively insecure. Of all people to have such a big ego problem, God shouldn't be it. He is supposed to be the answer to life. I am sure there is nothing that a mere human could provide to a being like God, so what does the worship actually do for God? Does he keep a list of positive comments so that he can read them if he's ever feeling down in the dumps?

To top this off, God has an odd way to admit people into Heaven. He will let you into Heaven for a belief in Him, and damn you to Hell for non-belief. Really? Are those actions the type of a just and loving God? Perhaps the most perverted doctrine of Christianity are the requirements for entering Heaven. You need to have believed in God, asked for forgiveness, and not denied Him.

That is all.

You could have killed six million Jews, been a convicted rapist, or even a child molester. But he'll throw you the keys to Heaven as long as you ask for forgiveness as long as you mean it. Is that really all there is to it? He would let an immoral Christian into Heaven and then deny the same rights to a moral atheist. Sorry Christians, but that is just fucked up. This sort of behavior isn't a good thing to add to a resume for a just and caring God, is it? You provide no evidence for your existence, give us a book full of errors, and then have the nerve to murder thousands of your 'children' everyday. There is so much in this world we cannot change. Religion wants to take your free will and ability to think critically too.
