One important reason people worship God is because he is all powerful and can do bad things to them if they don't listen. The expression God fearing comes to mind. Plus, he sends you off to the home of his greatest enemy to burn if you die after living a life not devoted to his teachings. Of course, hell differs between even the Christian sects, but the point remains the same. The biggest dog leads the pack because he can tear your throat out any time he wants. Few true believers in God stress only a benevolent and caring aspect.
