what is worship

17 May '18 12:42Originally posted by @apathistThat’s not why any Christian I know worships. Worship is out of gratitude and a recognition of who God is and what He has done.

17 May '18 12:49Originally posted by @apathistI think worship ~ as earnest or even well-intentioned as it may be ~ is a kind of wallowing in one's own ideology and a manifestation of deep-seated insecurities and feelings of cognitive dissonance about life and the world.

What is worship?
Enjoyment of God.
Anytime,
anywhere,
any posture,
while doing anything else simultaneously which is not sinful of dishonoring to God
worship - the enjoyment of the living God.
Some people here, for "worship," need a big strawman to ridicule one as an object of their scorn.

17 May '18 13:35Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeWell I’m sure every theist on earth is breathing a sigh of relief.
I have no issue with a theist worshipping a God they sincerely believe exists.
