okay...the original statement was that worship was something that submissive people seem to enjoy.
My counter arguement is that you were lumping together many disparate experiences and calling them all "worship." While this has some truth to it, it also obscures the variety of human responses to and expressions of worship of the divine. What possible meaning does the word worship have outside of human experience after all? Why bother defineing the value of the concept, but for the actual experiecnes that people have with it?
What you seem to be trying for here is one definition of a complex concept. I wish you the best of luck, but that hardly furthers intelligent debate. Some people find submissive fufillment in some kinds of worship experiences. Does it logically follow that worship in and of it self is an act of submission? No!
Look...the fallacy is thus. For the set of behaviors known as worship, there are points that lie with in the set known as submission. Therefore, the set known as worhsip is = to the set known as submission.
I think you can see why i object.
