False Idols

I don't know who reading this, and no one gives me feedback and that makes me angry [and you won't like me when I'm angry]

Today's topic boys and girls is Idols. No, not American Idol [because I can't use the word dog more than hree times day] this is about the one's you read about in the bible. Those of the replacing God type Idols; the golden calves and new philosophies that we take up because they are the things we think give us meaning. What are the idols that you covet? What is the one thing that you cling to because without it you feel you woun't be who you are. The reason I aam speaking like this is because I read a NY Times article talking about a recent biography on Fredrick Nietche (excuse the misspell). FN was the philosopher who said God is dead, but what he left out was that he had the new relgion [for future reference when one makes such a bold statement he or she is looking to fulfill said role.] I found the article vary interesting in that it breifly explained how one man in the pursuit or exercise of his intellect became a victim of carrying out his ideas to their logical conclusions. for FN that meant leaving behind the accept norms of the day for a life best descriped as reprobated or in the words of Hobbes and paraphrased by me as short, dirty, and frequented by acts of violence and sex.
