That's what idolatry means.
Most people actually worship something other than God. Ask yourself what is most important to you. That's what you worship. If it's not God, then you are an idolater.
That doesn't mean protecting your nation is not important, but placing race as the core of your identity is a bad idea.
I'd guess most Americans worship either money or pleasure. i.e. Mammon.
Mmmm no. Idolatry means bowing/kneeling/kissing a totem or physical representation of your god. Such as a cross. Or statuary.
Did they teach you that in the cult?
I mean.... you do have the internet.

First 2 points are pretty true. 3, 4, and 5 are false.
Not sure why that particular guy rejected another translation of the bible. We used to study and compare all of them when I was a kid.

Are you telling me there are things on the internet that aren't true?
I'd say that was blasphemy, but I better look it up on wikipedia first to make sure.

To be clear, you’re disputing the definition of idolatry, because you found something untrue about another religion?

No, I'm telling you that I'd take a long walk off a short cliff before I deferred to you and wikipedia over scripture.
But on a different note, what's that fake bible like? Did your founder really say Jesus came back in 1914?

They have no idea what it even means. Might be more charatable to leave them in the dark so they can perhaps claim ignorance when the time comes.

I'd guess most Americans worship either money or pleasure. i.e. Mammon.
Mmmm no. Idolatry means bowing/kneeling/kissing a totem or physical representation of your god. Such as a cross. Or statuary.
It literally means to place anything before God. It is a violation of the first commandment. We call it idolotry because the Hebrews used to revert to worshipping idols all the time. It does not have to be a physical idol, however, and even in that context the idol was a physical representation on something else (wealth, pleasure, power).
When we speak of libertarians worshipping Mammon, we are speaking of the golden calf idol that they worshipped in the desert and for which God punished them. Mammon is associated with a God of wealth. If wealth is the most important thing in your life, then you are an idoloter not unlike a golden calf worshipper in the bronze age. You just have a different take on it.

Yep. Now could you find any reference to ancient Hebrew totems, statuettes, or charms that were not considered “idolatry”?

Could you quote “the scripture” that you’re referring to? The one that says to carry around little Jesus Charms to ward off evil?
(It’s ok, I know you’ve never read it)
What you’re talking about was a prophecy made that the world would end in 1914. And in many ways, it did.
Nobody claims that Jesus came back at that time.
