So what about the Prophet Mohammed in Islam?
Is he worshipped by Muslims, who as we know are proud of their form of “monotheism”? I believe they do, although they would of course deny it.
A god doesn’t have to be eternal, either. Many mythic gods haven’t been. Idolatry can involve worship of just about anyone or anything. When what we owe to God alone is given to anyone or anyone else, that is a form of worship, and idolatry, and making that person or thing an idol or god. And worship can also involve treating someone or something besides God as a god, and giving that person or thing what God Himself wouldn’t ask for, such as the sacrifice of children to Baal.
just to set everyone straight...mohammad was NOT a prophet...
