Must We Worship God?
The philosophers Tim Bayne and Yujin Nagasawa (henceforth known as BN) state that philosophers have had little to say about the worship of God. Theologians, of course, have had a lot to say. Some modern theologians are of the opinion that God is totally incomprehensible. If that is the case, it is difficult to see why ‘he’ ought to be worshipped, since worship is stimulated by qualities that God is understood (to the extent that human minds can understand) uniquely to have. If God is described as totally incomprehensible because of his maximally excellent nature, such a proposition is self-defeating, for now God is understood in the sense of being maximally excellent.
Theism, on the other hand, contends that God’s attributes are to some extent comprehensible and that these attributes mean that he is worthy of obligatory worship. The Psalmist, for example, rejoices in God’s strength and his capacity to save his people from their enemies (18:1-3). God is understood in terms of who is he is with us in the sense of his being with us and for us. What else God is can be described without full understanding and is beyond description and understanding. Descriptions of God are therefore the beginnings of knowing who he is, but there is an openness of interpretation that goes beyond that description in that the description is not the last word on God.
