What you describe here Ohio is one of the core reasons why it was so easy for many to fall into the trap of idolatry. Zealotry and dedication that is not set in the right direction goes in the wrong direction even if it is done unknowingly.

Take Saul/Paul. Before he was such a dedicated and zealotrous christian, what was he? A really dedicated and a zealotrous Jew!!! He was very dedicated, just misguided until he had the right "vision".

Idolatry in a system of Christianity doesn't work if only the leaders do it. Sorry, but I have to continue to disagree with you on this one.
