@secondson saidAnd you would do so - in the way sketched out in the OP - even if there was no possibility of life after death?
That's what worship is. Living a life that pleases one's creator.
@fmf saidYes, of course.
Would you worship a creator being [whose existence was not disputed] out of gratitude and as a way of pleading for divine recognition of your penance for your morally unsound actions [as defined by the moral compass installed in you by that creator being] if there was no 'reward' in the form of life after death?
We must love and do good for the sake of love and goodness, not for the sake of a reward.
@philokalia saidWhat, then, is the role of the "reward" of everlasting life in your religion, to your way of thinking?
We must love and do good for the sake of love and goodness, not for the sake of a reward.
@secondson saidIf you are feeling "garbled" or if you now see that your responses may have been a wee bit "garbled", try this version of the OP [which is clearly NOT about the God of the Bible]:
Man did you garble this thread up in a hurry.
A creator being exists
It has given people finite life and a world [like ours] in which to live
It has given people a sense of right and wrong
Would you worship it...
[A] to express gratitude for your life, and
[B] to plead for forgiveness for doing wrong
...even if there was no afterlife of any form on offer?
