"7. Idea of worship not innate.- That 'God is to be worshiped,' is, without doubt, as great a truth as any can enter into the mind of man, and deserves the first place amongst all practical principles; but yet by no means be thought innate, unless the ideas of God and worship are innate."
Unlike Roach's arguement and Locke's ideas, i think that the idea of worshiping God has to be innate. Who else put the idea in our minds of worshiping God? I mean yes depending on how we grow up, some worship God more than others and they learn by going to church and reading bible and so on, but how do we know that God is to be worshiped? Where did the idea come from if its not innate? I don't agree with Locke, if there is one thing that is innate, i would have to say that that is the ideas of God and worship. Descartes sure believes that the idea of God was placed into our minds by God himself, him being the creator of man and everything we see.
