    Yes, citing your sources is a good habit, because it shows you're not just making stuff up (hint hint).

    I clipped the irrelevant parts out of that definition because they are irrelevant. We're talking about a VERB (to worship), so I posted the definition of the VERB, not the noun.

    The OBJECT of a sentence can be a person, place, or thing. I had assumed that you had a working knowledge of English grammar from your previous postings, but I now guess they were uncredited cut-and-pastes (like your last).

    I guess I confused people on their knees praying to a graven image in their Church with people "rendering religious reverence and homage to" something. I guess the priest who told me to pray to a specific saint didn't really mean "pray to that specific saint". Now I only have to go learn ancient Greek and Latin in order for you to explain the difference between "worship" and "worship". Gimme a few years, wilya?

      Let's look at what Jesus said when his Jew shrew of a mum was hassling Him to perform miracles for her:
      John 2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee?

      Perhaps if you Catholics pray to Mary hard enough, she'll ask Jesus to spare you from Hellfire. He will reply "What have I to do with thee?", and then go back to whatever He was doing while you plunge into the Lake of Fire.

      There's a pretty big difference between that and building a statue of your mum and dad and then asking them to ask God to be nice to you, though.

      28He replied, "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it."
      Funny that, our idolatrous friend seems to have completely ignored this one. It's almost as though they don't have a reply to the fact that God's word obviously contradicts their pagan practices. But I'm sure there must be another explanation.

      Common sense?
      I don't see what common sense has to do with worshipping idols.

      Nonsense. God was definitely there, and it was Him who wrote the Bible. Witnesses don't get more credible than that.
      O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.



      God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
