Clinging to One’s God

When sharing a blog post not too long ago, I wrote the following on Facebook:

Any god that you have to cling to in order to keep from losing it is by definition an idol.

I used literal physical idols in the background to the image above. But I hope it is clear that I have in mind in particular the theological systems that are the most common modern idols, ones that are all too often clung to by people who would happily rail against the physical idols of others.
