Avodah Zarah

Peoples across cultures converge in a certain place to worship. Bringing with them the baggage of their history, helps to understand their ways and cultural flavors. Everyone shows his need in different levels with varying degrees in quest for an answer. Others crave for more beyond the limit in human proportion. It's passion for a certain need power, money and prestige. Like a foreign worship that centers only on oneself One's obsession just for self gratification describes a temptation to prevail. That's contrary to our calling as men and women in the world with others meant to be gifted to others moved by God, the source of life and love.

Note: avodah zarah literally "foreign worship" is the formal recognition or worship as God of an entity that is in fact not God.
