[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If according to Judeo-Christian religion humans are created in the image of God, and an average human does not want nor need to be worshiped, 
then why the assumption is that God wants to be worshiped. If God is a superior being and spirit, worship seems kind of lame form of worship of superior divine. Love and awe see more in order?[/quote]

Assumption?  Take a look at the first commandment.  It's a demand.[/quote]

Well. .it is all how you look at it.
If this is the first commandment as you refer to:

[b]"I am the Lord thy God", under Tamludic division of the third-century Jewish Talmud. "Thou shalt have no other gods before me",[/b]

What we really see here? 
God introduces himself  to Moses and his people as the one who signs the ten commandments but he does it in thebe inning not the end, probably so the people would know who is talking. Then, God simply asks "thou shalt have no other gods before me" ..
This one is tricky because here God only wants to be your one and only god, but  he also kind of elevates other divinities to the status of Gods because otherwise he would not call them that.. but staying on the topic.

It does not say anywhere that God expect to be loved, feared of worshiped per se. Right? Or show me what am I missing here.
Where does it say anything how do you specifically worship God? Yes, the other commandments tell you in nine different ways
to be good and kind and have love.. yes because if you be and have it then you don't need to have it spelled in nine different ways...

Jesus came and said : love one another.

He took ten commandments and gave you one, Right? And it takes care of all nine.

So at the end Love is the answer. But Jesus  does not give you anything in return. He just asks you to love one another.
Tough one right? [/quote]
