When we begin to adore the idol in front of us, the idol of the "self" we become selfish and begin to erect the statutes of narcissism in very nook and corner of the street and hang its photos in every room and parlour , shop and restaurant.This was from the beginning when those ambitious creatures the angels, wishing to raise themselves above the living God of heaven and earth, tasted their fall.
The new gods and goddesses of our times become furious if anyone refuses to erect or hung their photos/ statutes and to pay homage to them. Their ego gets elated and elevated to the height in the public audience and bestows manifold blessings upon their devotees. Those who refuse to oblige will not be in the good book of the new idol and should not expect any boon to any promotion or position. Just like King Nebuchednezzar the modern idols too demand the compulsory worship of their golden images under threat of extermination of those who refuse to consent to them (Dan 3:12|).Only the God-fearing souls would escape the clutches of those post modern gods/goddesses. As St. Paul once said that some of them will hold on to an "outward form of religion" but deny its power in the particular life. (2Tim 3:5).
