Once you get to Heaven, nothing else matters.
Go back and read some of my previous comments. I stated that I know God exists based on the evidence of nature itself. I have zero need for faith, belief and books written by men when I have the evidence right in front of me. So much for reading comprehension.
You interest me. You believe in God, but not in a need for faith, belief and books written by man. However, who is this "God" you speak of, and do you believe that, as your creator, He doesn't have any requirements of you?

I don't "believe" in God. I've stated several times that belief is an emotional attachment devoid of facts to an idea with the hope that it is true. Based on the evidence that the universe exists and that there was a cause of the first cause, the reasonable conclusion is that there is a grand designer, aka God.
What does God require of me? Good question. I don't think God requires anything of me. If anything, maybe that I acknowledge he exists based on his revealing himself to me through his creation of the universe.
Belief doesn't require emotional attachment. If it did, you'd have an emotional attachment to the laws of physics. You've stated that you know that God exists, and in the minds of many here that don't, you are definitely a believer. And, I guess you think you were created just so God could watch and see what you do. Is your existence and life's experience that intriguing that God wouldn't be bored with what you do, versus what all everyone else does?
Good discussion here.
Since you've broached the subject. Why would an all-powerful being need for us to do anything at all? Why would he or she need to be worshiped? Why would he or she even be capable of being bored, as you put it.
At what point are we just puppets or playthings?
It's very much a parent and child type relationship. God desires a relationship with us because he loves us. Don't ask me why he does, but he does. I love my kids and would do anything in the world for them. So does God.
