Whatever is valued most is a god and is worshipped, but there is only one being that deserves to be valued most.

The greatest difficulty for monotheists is not to just believe in God intellectually but convince their hearts that God is to be valued above us by a great valuing above us, and also if we truthfully want to value things as they are, to wish for others what we wish for ourselves.

Otherwise we are being dishonest, we may intellectually hold God is God, but then associate ourselves with God and value him and even use him for our egos rather then serving him.
