idolatry
Idolatry is the art of assigning divinity to the inanimate, reflecting self-satisfaction in a funhouse mirror. Believers kneel before tangible statues, turning away from unseen truths. The fervor displayed toward stone or image is merely paint applied to mask one’s own anxieties. Ultimately, worshipping idols exposes a paradox: the more you revere them, the deeper the void you reveal.
