We worship to give thanks to God, rather than appeasing or coaxing God to free us from droughts, deluges, earthquakes and the dread fire demons, like our more primitive ancestors did.
....Good works stand alone. Jesus told us to do them. Almost all religions have this same urging and all worthwhile ethical systems do so as well. It is good policy and separates us from the Ferengi and Ayn Randians.
