Idolatry is in a man's own thought, not in the opinion of another.

I have sworn upon the altar of God, eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.

It is curious how instinctively one protects the image of oneself from idolatry or any other handling that could make it ridiculous, or too unlike the original to be believed any longer.

I've had many idols growing up. The inclination for idol worship comes naturally to me.

A god who let us prove his existence would be an idol.

The God of the Hebrews is a God that human language, we're not even supposed to speak the holy name. We were told in the Second Commandment we could make no images of this God, and I don't think that means just building idols, I think that means also trying to believe you've captured God in your words, in the Creeds, in the Scriptures.

My only idol is God, and I kick myself when I don't pray regularly enough.

Too fair to worship, too divine to love.

Being brought up very religious, I have a fear of people that look to idol gods.
