Idols and gods

After Exodus 20:1-3 

I’m not a pagan, 

worshipping any and

all, including unknown

gods. I know my faith;

I know who my one,

true God is. I tithe.

I serve. So what do

you mean to tell me

not to worship 

other gods? What is

this you hand me,

this list? (Reading.)

Money, Security. 

Success. Comfort. 

Recognition. Politics.

Beauty. Books. Power.

Popularity. Influence.

Control. Being obeyed.

Philosophy, Knowledge.

Education. Wealth.

Gluttony. Lust. 

The list goes on and

on, unending.

Oh.
