It would be interesting to see a theist explain what the benefits of "worship" are.
There are people I admire, not for who they are, but for what they have achieved, and for the good they do. There are animals I think are amazing, like dogs that will put up with all the terrible things owners do to them, and yet they're prepared to give up their lives for the abuser. If I was going to worship something, it would probably be dogs. I can't though because they can also be difficult when they chew up your shoes, and you have to go out in slippers to buy a pair you can wear outside the house.
I don't understand worship of any kind, not for gods, not for heroes, not for celebrities. I just don't get it.
