Idol worship is insidious. Anything we put our faith in other that Our Lord Jesus Christ will fail.

Maybe we should list possible idols. Our common sense, money, the bible, religion, pastors, baptism, church buildings, Martin Luther, denominations, Mary (of course), The American Dream, the GOP, The Federal Reserve, Mitt, Newt, Ron Paul, Sarah Palin, Obama, the pope, rugged individualism, Rush Limbaugh, Obama (Not on FR of course), George Bush Sr and Jr, Dick Cheney, gold, the US Constitution,....Tiger Woods, most of these are from my past BTW.

I don’t think most make idols of these you mentioned unless they have no faith. Then of course they will obsess over whatever the desire of their hearts and minds are otherwise....or something which represents that.

We are created to worship....and will do so toward whatever we create in our minds...until we have the mind of Christ and worship only Him.

There are many things we “support” which is not necessarily become an idol....and we should support that which matters as much as possible.
