“As God was expunged from American life, idols came in to fill the void; idols of sensuality, idols of greed, of money, of success, comfort, materialism, pleasure, sexual immorality, self-worship, self-obsession. The sacred increasingly disappeared, and the profane took its place.”
“We make an idol of truth itself, for truth apart from charity is not God, but his image and an idol that we must not love or worship.”
“If you uproot the idol and fail to plant the love of Christ in its place, the idol will grow back.”
“American Idol rocks! It's on now and this episode is amazing!”
“If we insist upon trying to imagine Him, we end with an idol, made not with hands but with thoughts; and an idol of the mind is as offensive to God as an idol of the hand.”
“I nominate Baal for American Idol.”
