IS IT VAIN OF GOD TO HAVE US WORSHIP HIM?

"Does God really need someone to tell Him how great He is?"  Is a typical atheist question.  The idea is to attempt to point out a flaw in God's character.  But the assumption made here is that the one being worshipped is the benefactor. I would argue it's the one who does the worshipping that benefits the most. When I see something beautiful I’m moved to praise it. It fills me with joy to express my emotions.

There are times in life when we experience something so magnificent that the only way we can adequately articulate our feelings is through praise. If that’s true in this life when we experience the imperfect, how much more will it be true when we will find ourselves in the presence of Perfection in the life to come? To take away that emotional release would be cruel.
