What do we love more about American Idol? Is it the music or the drama?
Have you ever wondered why they call it ‘America Idol’? The word ‘idol’ does not have a positive connotation. Although I love music and I enjoy great performances, I will not worship any of the contestants/singers/performers or the songs themselves.
Here is the definition of the word ‘idol‘ from Dictionary.com
–noun
1. an image or other material object representing a deity to which religious worship is addressed.
2. Bible. a) an image of a deity other than God; b) the deity itself.
3. any person or thing regarded with blind admiration, adoration, or devotion: Madame Curie had been her childhood idol.
4. a mere image or semblance of something, visible but without substance, as a phantom.
5. a figment of the mind; fantasy.
6. a false conception or notion; fallacy.
“You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments. (Exodus 20:4)
