Idolaters or not?

Are we?

It will be interesting to see people's views/perspective on this question.

WIKIPEDIA:

Idolatry is a pejorative term for the worship of an idol, a physical object such as a cult image, as a god


OXFORD DICTIONARY:
Pronunciation:/ʌɪˈdɒlətri/
noun
[mass noun]

the worship of idols.
extreme admiration, love, or reverence for something or someone:we must not allow our idolatry of art to obscure issues of political significance

Origin:

Middle English: from Old French idolatrie, based on Greek eidōlolatreia, from eidōlon (see idol) + -latreia 'worship'

So you are telling us Jocke is an object and you look up at him as if he was God? ...and if so what object would that be?
