Have you ever wondered why they call it &#8216;America Idol&#8217;? The word &#8216;idol&#8217; 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.<br />
Here is the definition of the word &#8216;</span><span style="font-style:italic;font-size:130%;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">idol</span></span><span style="font-size:130%;">&#8216; from <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?db=dictionary&amp;q=idol">Dictionary.com</a><br />
</span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">–noun</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">1. an image or other material object representing a deity to which religious worship is addressed.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">2. </span><span style="font-style:italic;font-size:130%;">Bible. </span><span style="font-size:130%;">a) an image of a deity other than God; b) the deity itself.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">3. any person or thing regarded with blind admiration, adoration, or devotion: </span><span style="font-style:italic;font-size:130%;">Madame Curie had been her childhood idol</span><span style="font-size:130%;">.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">4. a mere image or semblance of something, visible but without substance, as a phantom.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">5. a figment of the mind; fantasy.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:130%;">6. a false conception or notion; fallacy.</span></p>
</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-style: italic; font-size: 130%; color: #ff0000;"> &#8220;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. </span><span class="sup" style="font-style: italic; font-size: 130%; color: #ff0000;">5</span><span style="font-style: italic; font-size: 130%; color: #ff0000;"> 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, </span><span class="sup" style="font-style: italic; font-size: 130%; color: #ff0000;">6</span><span style="font-style: italic; font-size: 130%; color: #ff0000;"> but showing love to a thousand {generations} of those who love me and keep my commandments.</span><span style="font-size:130%;"> (Exodus 20:4)</span></p>
