Gordon Linney in his 'Thinking Anew' column in Saturday's Irish Times quoted the American writer Jim Wallis.
"Idols perpetuate themselves by erecting self-justifying ideologies and informational systems with the ability to turn falsehood into seeming truth by the distortion of language itself.
"Idols are imposters of God. They may be things, ideas, persons or institutions exalted and worshipped as gods."
- Jim Wallis
