    It is not the case that Worthiness of worship is a relational, evaluative property imposed by worshippers, not an intrinsic metaphysical property constitutive of divinity.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.If worship-worthiness is merely projected by worshippers, then false or harmful worship practices become equally valid, undermining moral critique.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Divine omnipotence, perfection, and transcendence are intrinsic metaphysical properties that logically entail worthiness independent of observer opinion.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Relational properties still require mind-independent grounds; calling worthiness 'relational' doesn't explain what grounds it if not divine nature itself.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Worship practices vary radically across cultures, suggesting worthiness depends on worshipper perspectives rather than objective divine properties.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If worthiness were intrinsic to divinity, beings with identical divine properties would deserve equal worship regardless of observer subjective states.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Value and worthiness are paradigmatically relational—nothing is 'worthy' except relative to evaluative agents with specific standards and needs.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
