The reason we do worship goes back to the etymology of 'worship'. Judeo-Christian belief is that God is love, and therefore we put God first. Worship isn't a word limited to adoration, but to service. The aim is to serve God first. We are to love him, and love all those around us. Catholic catechism teaches us to know God, love him, and serve him--and I haven't heard of any faith denomination that argues against this.However, one thing does seem clear. We shouldn't worship gods. If they don't exist, then we shouldn't worship them. If they're sadists, then we shouldn't worship them. If they are apathetic to us, then we shouldn't worship them. If they are incapable, then we shouldn't worship them.
