| | Pantheism |
 | | For the pantheist, the practical consequences of worship and prayer being unavailable as forms of religious practice are enormous. | | | It seems unwarranted, therefore, to suppose that a necessary condition of something's being divine is that it be personal on the grounds that "Of all the modes of creaturely existence, personality is the highest and so the fittest to serve as an analogy of divine being" (Macquarrie 1984: 42). | | | It might be supposed that the existence of evil is inconsistent or incongruous with the "divinity" of the Unity. |

| | Peter Suber, "The Great Chain of Being" |
| | It follows (from principle 11) that the idea of the being with all perfections is the idea of an existing being. | | | Most believers in the chain call this God. | | | What has positive existence is good and was created by God; what is privation lacks being and goodness, and was not created at all. |

| | Great chain of being - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Chain of Being is composed of a great number of hierarchal links, from the most base and foundational elements up to the very highest perfection - in other words, God, or the Prime Mover. | | | Solidifying the King's position at the top of humanity's food chain is the doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings. | | | The Christian fall of Lucifer is especially terrible, because that angel is wholly spirit, who yet defies God, the ultimate perfection. |

| | For Catholics, the Pope is at the same level or above the King. | | | These gradations are thought of as parts of a Great Chain of Being, which extends from God down to the lowest forms of life, and even to the trees and stones of the earth. | | | Speaking of clergy, the Church hierarchy is actually separate from the secular hierarchy. |
