Why Worship God?

I have never quite understood why it is that people think we should worship God. 

Nor have I ever understood how praying to such a being, a being that is supposedly the most powerful being ever, was somehow needed to help empower that being, to do anything in the world he had created, on our behalf. 

I have likewise wondered why it is that so many people think that without the proper amount of prayer, and being performed in the right way to the right god, humanity could only expect to suffer the same kind of wrath that is alleged to have befallen it in the form of Old Testament plagues and famines, and even a world wide waterboarding flood.

Despite that God's promise to never do it again,  after he had sent that malevolent flood to rightfully drown us all, Christians the world over think it best that we should pray incessantly to such a god nevertheless, to stave off whatever other apocalypse he might have up his sleeve. 

That, or to hope for God's intercession in a world tearing itself apart - a world, mind you, overfilled with woefully imperfect men dipped in sin and all warring with each other for greed, and steeped in ignorance, scarcity, and death - that is said to have been "intelligently designed,"  but in which ignorance and superstition reign supreme, and are armed with all of latest technologies of destruction and death that only our brightest minds could have invented. 

Nor must we even bother to mention the utter insanity of worshiping a god who, at least according to the Christian version, was so angry about our disobedience to him by Adam & Eve, that He felt entirely justified in murdering us as much with plagues and famines as with the genocidal sword of his "chosen people." 

He did all of this, in addition to the flood, right up to the point he finally decided to forgive us that grievous act of disobedience, by allowing us to to gruesomely murder his only begotten son. And at that point, all was forgiven! Except, of course, the gruesome murder of his only begotten son.

And while he is said to have forgiven us the disobedience in the garden of Eden through that murder, he not only chose not to fully wash away the stain of "original sin" that such disobedience was alleged to have left on our soul, but added to the souls of all those who had been saved through the resurrection of Christ, a murder rap for having killed Christ to begin with.

That God the father murdered God the son using humanity as a willing yet ignorant accomplice, and by so doing establish a form of entrapment that has never been surpassed, has never prompted a single Christian over the last two thousand years, to ever challenge the wisdom of so profoundly unjust a ruling; a ruling so profoundly unjust, in fact, that it could only be justified through the execution of the very judge who wrote it.
