I was about to post it on this thread before I realized it was a half hatched troll idea and requires more research before I can say without a doubt.

Hey, who wants Sipher's email address?

Jesus charged man with the authority to spread the Gospel. God aids them along the way. Christianity as spread across all corners of the World just as Jesus commanded.
God wants to be praised for what he is, a supreme sinless being. But what he wants for us is to become something very close to what he is.
It is like when a genius scholar has many uneducated students. Like Socrates for example. He wants to educate his students so they will eventually become something very valuable.
This can be seen with college professors teaching students and having these students eventually help the professor with his research.

They know about it, but they accept it as much as they accept mary or the saints.
It's an unimportant detail; something that merely complicates their beliefs.

When great people, like professors or political leaders, repeatedly demand praise, they lose a huge amount of respect.
True, these people usually request additional people to help them in their tasks, but they don't request that the rest of us stand around patting them on the back.

For starters, you should start with logic. It will help to cut down on a lot of bull**** fallacies that the bible (and the rest of existence) has in store for you.

We praise God because we love him and for he first loved us. This is similar to how a child loves the mother and father.

I prefer the inverse question. Why would a human being want to worship a "lord"? Why would someone ever want that for themselves?

If he wants me to be a pastor, then the doors will be more open then if I wanted personally to be a lawyer. I do not think God wants me to be a pastor as those doors are not really that open.

ok....that was the response i expected

The relationship between parent and child is first formed on the physical level. god doesn't show up on the physical level, so we cannot develop this kind of connection with him.
If he was really interested in developing this kind of bond with the rest of us, he would physically be there with us from the beginning.
It's like trying to develop a relationship with a parent, when you never see or hear from that parent, and all communication is through written letters or email.

At one point in time, God was able to talk to us directly, but because of sin a barrier was put up between our God and ourselves. The only time a direct relationship was established again, was with Christ. The only time it will happen again is with the second coming and the time after that.

You obviously don't know what you are talking about. The only denomination of Christianity that I can think of that rejects the existence of the Trinity is Latter Day Saints (Mormons) and even they just think of them as separate entities. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are the trinity. Ask a Christian and 99 out of 100 will tell you this is the case.
