Sorry for the misunderstanding, but I still have questions about your ideas. you say that loveing anything is love, so loveing idols is love. ok, ill buy that. but you can love other things that are not idols. so the opposite of idolatry is not hatred, correct? this question assums that we are discussing idols, not idolization (which is defined as love) we are talking about the object of love. but I see what you are saying now, we were talking about two different terms. I was talking about a noun, you are talking about a verb. Main Entry: idol·ize Pronunciation: 'I-d&l-"Iz Function: verb Inflected Form(s): -ized; -iz·ing Date: 1598 transitive senses : to worship as a god; broadly : to love or admire to excess <the common people whom he so idolized -- Times Literary Supplement> intransitive senses : to practice idolatry - idol·i·za·tion /"I-d&l-&-'zA-sh&n/ noun - idol·iz·er /'I-d&l-"I-z&r/ noun
