Great job Michael. This may be your best article yet. You rightly show here something I've written about myself:

If you delete God from your belief or value system, then some other person or thing becomes No.1 on your priority list making that person or thing your false idol aka "new god" or "new drug."

That's why so many people make their career or their baby or money, power, pleasure or honor/ego their new fixation.Similarly, if you delete the devil from your belief system (as even many Christians do) then some human becomes "the worst person in the world" and you find yourself attacking and hating (and perhaps obsessing over) that enemy (rather than lovingly praying for them). Keep the faith and keep writing!
