The devil does his best work within the realm of theological systems. Idolatry is the satanic art of attributing to God traits of character that do not belong to him. If I can be made to believe bad things about God, I will either serve Him as a slave or run from Him into unbelief.

Objectification has given way to commodification, which is now giving way to depersonalization. But you are more than your sexuality. Much more!
