"Why do people choose the substitute over God himself? Probably the most important reason is that it obviates accountability to God. We can meet idols on our own terms because they are our own creations. They are safe, predictable, and controllable; they are, in Jeremiah's colorful language, the 'scarecrows in a cornfield' (10:5). They are portable and completely under the user's control. They offer nothing like the threat of a God who thunders from Sinai and whose providence in this world so often appears to us to be incomprehensible and dangerous . . . [People] need face only themselves. That is the appeal of idolatry."

I can't wait to see the interviews from the trailer parks.
There I was standing on the porch watching the kids in the blowup pool and I seen a big ball of gas and I thought Delilah still has my crock pot. Then I yelled at the kids for splash’n the water out.

I read about this someone else too. It seems very interesting. And I hope it doesn't turn out to be something stupid, like an equipment malfunction or something.
