you should read some of the works of Aleister Crowley.
"Absinthe the Green Goddess" is my favorite.
its a very short pamphlet thats still in print. its a good way to
get introduced to Crowley.

i was a xian for over 13 years, i lived in a xian commune, i had to go to
bible camp several times, i had to go to church regularly + bible studies and youth groups for a really really long time

so i definitely know what you mean. most xians do believe that the entire purpose of the universe is the exclusive glorification (worship) of their god.
the universe is a plaything that he created because he was lonely, as the story
