I consider myself a worshipful person, and even though I align myself with a major world religion, I follow and try to honour a living Faith rather than a set of prescribed standards and rules.
However - I seem to have started worshipping my Tank, my little Reef (so I'd better capitalize it I spend a disproportionate amount of devotion, attention, time, effort and money on this Obsession, which -by some definitions pertinent to this thread- qualifies it as an idol (as in, something that replaces God as the principal subject of worship in my life). For example: When I'm away from home for a day, I can't wait to get back to check on the tank. I think about the tank when I'm not here. When something is amiss with the tank, it affects my whole world, and I don't feel right until it's fixed. I give priority to tank matters over more important things (and people). I check this board 20 times a day - at least. I think I have a problem here. And I checked #1.
