Idolatry - What Makes Us Lashes Out?

"What would make you murderous? Trace it back, it'll go back to idolatry," he says. "There's something we're missing that somebody else has,. and we need it to be happy, and we want it." Idolatry keeps you blind to how much you're breaking the other commandments, because you start to rationalize your disobedient behavior. The god of beauty promises blessings if you obey, and threatens you with curses if you fail. This is where we become slaves: We look to idols for satisfaction but never get it.
