The traditions and rituals of religion are satisfying to those Christians, Jews, others who participate in them. Does God (or gods) require those traditions and rituals. I don't think so--most are mostly human invention--but neither do I see them as without value. And I do not sense that God disapproves of them. Those seeking to worship God can and do utilize all the senses--visual, i.e. the colors in the albs, stoles and other vestments etc.; auditory in the chants, music, hymnology etc.; olfactory in the incense used in high church services; taste in the bread and wine used in the Eucharist, Mass, communion; and so forth. There is intellectual stimulation in the sermons and Bible readings and the prayers are important to reach out to God in praise, trust, faith.Self-appointed spokespeople for the notoriously aloof various divinities all seem to indicate they crave human validation.
Why such coy seekers of adulation in the form of relentless rituals, songs, fancy garb, processions, edifices, shindigs, assorted gestures, etc., etc., etc.?
Why would any self-respecting deity (omnipotent, omniscient, and eternal) care?
All put together whether the simplest form of meeting, low church, high church, whatever, God's people are not to be solitary but to join together in worship, praise, learning, mutual encouragement and all believers who do so benefit from it when the gathering is for the purpose of being in the presence of God together.
And because all of God's people are different, that there are different styles of worship is also a good thing as different people respond in different ways. So you have the most traditional services conducted according to strict liturgies and process and free wheeling contemporary services and charismatic services that can widely vary from meeting to meeting.
And none of it focused on God is without value. That is why both the Old and New Testaments have much to say about meeting together to worship God, study and support each other.
