Agreed, I have talked to a few about their putting a man between themselves and God (confession), worshipping Mary, and essentially worshipping the Pope, all in contrast to what the Bible teaches, and not one could see the issue with those things.

Once I recognized idolatry as a sin, a lot of things made sense. In fact, discovering the truth about brought me to Christianity.

See, there's no divergence between natural law and God's law. There's no conflict, there can't be. The truth is the truth. I assumed that God was a fiction most of my life and I worked very hard to defend this position, but nothing made sense. I always ended up arriving at some axiom or another, or some paradox. What I found was that at the deepest roots of science, the theories were built upon assumptions formed by moral inclinations. What I've found is that there are those whose moral cores embrace blasphemy, and those who don't.

Idolatry is simply the overt practice of expressing blasphemy. It is the need to believe that the map is more true than the terrain, the the definition is more true than the word. Idolatry is the embracing of the symbol rather than what the symbol represents.

The truth is that that we cannot ever fully understand the truth. We will never be truth's masters.

No matter what, our decisions are always based on our undefined moral sense. Every mistake we make is when we ignore that sense. Education is nothing more or less than a systematic destruction of our innate moral senses. We take children who understand that trannies are monsters, children who fear the pedo clergy, and we brainwash them into denying their moral sense until we end up with Redditors and antifa and PUAs.

This is all idolatry. We believe that we can define our reality and embrace it rather than the truth; that we can game life and do whatever we wish and not ever be held to account.

Very nicely stated, that's a lot to think about. I also went down the atheist/agnostic road and like you said, the search for unadulterated, unspun truth led to Christ.

Too many think they know what the truth is before they start to seek it,and they end up rejecting their own discoveries. Being as open minded as possible led me to many places I didn't want to go. The old me would view the person I am today as a very bad person, even though I am kinder, gentler, more generous and more respectful. And I am better liked too.

I get a great kick out of people talking about how good a guy I am, since if they knew my opinions, they would think I would have to be a bastard. People I know have all these conflicts and problems with people who have the "correct" opinions. Then they deal with me and I am so easy to get along with and they can't believe that anyone who thinks like I do would be good company.
