Idols part 2Reader comment on item: Still Asleep After Mumbai Submitted by Keith Williams (United States), Dec 29, 2008 at 14:33 Hi dhimmi, 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. Like I said, "An idol is something you worship as a God." peace
