We think of idols as 3000 years ago some pagan was offering food to, and praying to, a statue.But I wonder if, and would think that,there's something else that might be a definition of it.Like when the news focuses on, and continualy repeats, every move someone makes.Like this Meghan Markle. I am so sick of hearing that name. The latest, Meghan Markle wore x dress. Meghan Markle changed her hairstyle.{Who cares?}Now the thing is, when someone{or society}has that level of fascination with a person, that ooh and ah over every move they make,isn't that idolatry? {Also, the more you focus on that, the more it takes your mind off God.}It's AT LEAST a distraction from following God , and probably downright idolatry.I don't recall seeing in the Bible,"For God so loved the world that He gave Meghan Markle,so that all that believe in her should not perish but have everlasting life". {See how ridiculous that sounds?}But not to these idolators.

One of my bro in Christ (newly converted from hindu was a cancer patient, already in heaven) stopped going to church, I asked him the reason, he said that he couldn't pray, the way women wearing dresses in the church that distracting from praying. He preferred to attend morning devotion in the church with matured people.
Jesus is the One who will give us hope of glory. Let our eyes see Him in His majesty and praise. Amen

LOL! Yours is Megan.....mine is all these nasty News reporters & TV stations that show such mean-spirited hatred for Pres. Trump. Thank God we still have FREE WILL to turn off the Radio, TV's and computers. We still have the opportunity and the WILL to sit in silence. We are able to collect our thoughts to speak with Our Dear Loving Lord. It is during these quiet moments we are speaking to God through prayer and listening to the messages that he is sending to us. Yes, I agree all of us need to turn off the noise around us. We need our ME time with our love ones and mainly with our brother, Jesus, and Heavenly Father. God Bless you. Praying for Peace in our lives. Amen

Well Megan Markle is irritating from sheer repetition, but the bias of the "neutral" media with Trump, yes, that can "rub someone the wrong way".Including on the internet,when I log in here,I have to go through the "hompage" of'net news, and they always stir the flames up for their followers by taking every little thing Trump does and making it sound like it's a terrible thing.But that seems the way of the political left,they preach "tolerance' for all, until someone disagrees with them, then they try to close you down.

I'm struggling to overcome idolatry, blasphemy and lack of the presence of God, injustice and negligence which presents danger to those who pray. It lets the enemy walk all over me. For example, I am called and my life is for a purpose. I'm crying out.
That the media stop obsessing over ### already.
To me, this is crossing over into idolatry already.
I desire to be free in Christ fully. I'm praying to have any altar or idol revealed in my life to me so I can recognize where it came from, how I allowed it or whether it was there to begin with and how to renounce it or them, ask for forgiveness and turn from them back to God fully. I don't...
