Who created whom in who's image

The parlance of our times in the National Post offers comments that reveal the state of our celebrity leadership. The quote from Mary J. Blige printed April 20 about says it all:
"My God is a God who wants me to have things. He wants me to bling. He wants me to be the hottest thing on the block."
There's a unique comfort and affirmation found when we can make up our gods as we go along. The pain comes when reality sets in and these gods get filed under "Gods that failed."
And how tragic for those who get caught up in these fantasies when reality comes crashing in.
