Simple straight forward question. Would a loving supreme being desire that you worship and pray to him/her?

[quote:mehitable:MV8xODI2NjQyXzMwNDI0NDU5XzIyM0QxOTVB] [quote:1123581321:MV8xODI2NjQyX0U4QzI3REJE] That question is not an attack. I honestly can't see how an advanced deity would ask that of anyone. Worship is just another form of slavery. Can't Christians see that? I think if you stopped and considered this question it would trouble you. That is why many never question worship. It doesn't matter what I think. Ask yourself if the concept of worship of another is right. You decide. [/quote] That is a great question and my answer is no. No real Creator God/dess would demand worship from its creations. That is so ego centered and childish. However, if one considers prayer not as worship but as connection to the spiritual source of life, than that makes sense to me. That's how I would view it - connection, discussion - just as I would with a parent or loved one. I don't worship them, but I try to stay at least somewhat connected. [/quote]
