In idolatry we love something other than God with the love only He deserves, but it is rarely the idol that we love, it is ourselves. We only serve these man-made gods as we perceive it to benefit us. When we love God we will praise Him though He slay us for He is worthy of all praise and honor. We serve idols for what we get out of it, not because we think they deserve it, not because we find in them the greatest good and beauty. We find our greatest good not in the idol but in ourselves, in our own comfort and pleasure. We either worship God or ourselves.
