Joe Rigney, a professor at the Bethlehem Institute, wrote two articles on stages of idolatry, earlier this year. He explains how we worship God and receive his gifts, then value the gifts for their own sake, then worship other gods while still enjoying the gifts, and finally rebel against God so far that he takes the gifts and idols away. Then we long for the good old days, when we could worship the idols and enjoy the gifts, and we go to God, begging for him to return the idols. In the second article, he links the early stage of idolatry with Red-states and the later stage of idolatry with Blue-states. The trouble is, when you're pregnant with evil, you can't stay pregnant forever. You have to either give birth to death or miscarry.
