The late James Rachels wrotes an essay, "God and Moral Autonomy," in which he defends an argument for the nonexistence of God based on the impossibility of a being worthy of worship. Peter Lupu and Bill Vallicella have an interesting exchange about the argument on the latter's Maverick Philosopher blog (see here).
