peace and hotep,
iyah360, idol worship is the worship of the symbol rather than the substance thereof.
idol worship is an uniformed attempt to reach spirituality. history is a witness to people moving into new cultures and adopting values seen as readily accessible on the surface but as inconceivably deep beneath it. the same people pick up the new found symbols, lay claim to them before internalizing the substance of what a given symbol represents. hence, 'gutter religions' arise withe the sole purpose of lifting ones from lower spritual positions of life.
