Why does God want to be worshiped?

Maybe there is no truth to the rumor.

Why does God want to be worshipped?

inferiority complex?
superiority complex?

I am as you know an atheist but the right answer should be aknowledge. As in such act there is connection, love n meaning.

Antagonistic...once in a while so am I. But permanently?
Look at my answer above. I didn't debate the likelihood of the claim. I just provided a rational take on the subject on what "worshiping" might entail other than a commercial trade.

When you are a god you should be acknowledged for the things that you have done for your people.Worshiping is one of those ways. I don't think he wants to be worshiped (real or not) but his followers do it out of respect.

I am not permanently antagonistic. I don't even check into some religious oriented threads.

Well, Doug, yes and no. I'd elaborate but nobody cares about us apodictical existential pantheists

I would guess it had something to do with He replacing the pagan Gods, and wanted to get mankind to realize those pagan idols had clay feet?
