I think a decent god wouldn't need to be worshipped. Perhaps he would need to be worshipped if he wasn't all that decent? Maybe he deserves to be worshipped because he gave us the amazing gift of life? Could it be that having a god that needs to be worshipped helps keep people in line and acting the way certain people want them to? I'm an atheist so the last option seems most relevent in my mind.
