I said that a non-personal God was not worth of worshipping, not that everything personal was worth worshipping. Moreover, it seems fairly clear that most (if not all) animals other than humans are not persons and that no plants are humans. It seems to me that only that being greater than which no being can be conceived is worthy of worship. Since it is better to be a person that to not be a person, that being must be a person.
