You're focusing on the negatives too much. As a devout Jew, I can tell you that worship, fasting and pilgrimage have nothing to do with groveling, bribery or kissing feet. It is our way of showing thanks for the gifts that God gave us and continues to give us. He created us, gave us life and the ability to love, which is the only true emotion, therefore, we thank Him in these ways and show Him that we love him, as he loves us. God has no needs, He does not NEED us to worship him, because God has no needs whatsoever, it is simply a practice that we have.
