But if everything is holy then functionally nothing is. Existence seems a pretty poor criterion for wonder and awe, let alone worship. And if it's the only criterion for holiness, then why worship anything? If everything is holy, that's functionally almost the same as saying that holiness does not exist. When you make a decision in such a system, the holiness seems to cancel out and you're left with the non-holy components to base your judgments upon.
And a non specific god is less ridiculous? "What is god?" 'I dunno, I worship a non specific deity that cannot be specifically described or defined.' Certainly, it doesn't fit every definition of everything that has ever been worshiped, but that doesn't make it an invalid argument for why we shouldn't be careful with our definitions.
