@roxy54 : "
I am always fascinated by the words "praise" and "worship". If there was indeed an almighty deity, he wouldn't need or desire anyone's praise or worship."
While this is 'technically' true it misses the point or worship. Worship is for the benefit of the worshiper and is the only rational response toward an all-powerful and all-loving deity that loves the worshiper and knows what is best for him. I'm not asking anyone to believe this, I'm just pointing out that roxy's if-then statement is a bit of a straw man.
