This has to be my last post of the day, but what does God get by receiving our prayers and praise? From them, nothing. Just the knowledge that we've turned to him, want to be with him, and have chosen to accept him. God is the epitome of altruism. Of course we all know of references to God as a "jealous God" and such, but in reality, his whole reason for asking us to worship him is so that we may learn to perfect ourselves and one day join him.

Besides, one day he is hoping we will pass the Great Barrier and bring him a starship ;)
