It is easy to think that idols don't exist anymore because we don't see bronze statues around town and people offering sacrifices to them. But what if we just have a misconception of idols? Maybe the bronze or the wood material or even the visible sacrifices being offered to them are not what make idols into idols. And maybe if we would change our concept of idols we would start to see that they are everywhere.
