I liked this blog by John Beckett as much as I like most of his writing. I try to be a strong example of my faith and stand up for other people who are marginalized. However, being a religious minority in a very conservative state really scares me sometimes. Being "out" of the idolatry closet might have some very dangerous consequences for me.

A quotation from Shaw

The savage bows down to idols of wood and stone: the civilized man to idols of flesh and blood.

A quotation from Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

Men are idolaters, and want something to look at and kiss and hug, or throw themselves down before; they always did, they always will; and if you don’t make it of wood, you must make it of words, which are just as much used for idols as promissory notes are used for values.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809-1894) American poet, essayist, scholar
Article (1872-05), “The Poet at the Breakfast-Table,” Atlantic Monthly
