Have you made an idol of any person or any thing?

Here are some reflection questions about the concept of making idols in modern times:

What is your understanding of the term “idol” in a modern context?
In what ways do you think society creates idols today? (e.g., celebrities, material possessions, ideologies) How do you create idols?
How do you personally define success, and do you think society’s definition of success contributes to idolization?
Reflecting on social media and influencer culture, do you believe it fosters idolization? Why or why not?
Can idolization have negative impacts on individuals and society? If so, what are some examples?
How can we differentiate between healthy admiration and idolization?
What role do you think consumerism plays in the creation of modern idols?
What step can you take to avoid falling into the trap of idolization?
How can communities and institutions promote values that discourage idolization and encourage healthier forms of admiration and inspiration?

These questions can serve as a starting point for a fruitful discussion on the topic of making idols in modern times.
