Centre of Fear and Love

When a person makes God one’s deity, one acknowledges the existence of a true Being as one’s deity. In contrast, when someone makes something other than God one’s deity, one has bestowed deity status upon something that does not truly exist, even if they have constructed an imaginary form of that hypothetical deity. The person who worships God as one’s deity has discovered the real source of power. On the other hand, someone who worships something other than God as one’s deity is attached to something that lacks actual existence. A worshipper of God is blessed with eternal bliss, while a worshipper of something other than God faces nothing but eternal deprivation.
