What concerns me is what this phenomenon says about us as a society. Man was created in Gods image and given dominion over all other animals (Gen. 1:26-30). Yet we have taken a rather unattractive dog and made it the object of our veneration. We want to be like it. It is our idol. We now worship a dog. But why do we worship a dog? Because we do not worship God. In Romans 1, Paul describes the condition of men who put aside the knowledge of God. When men will not acknowledge their Creator, their only alternative is to worship something less. In verses 22-23, Paul says, Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. When a nation sees fit to idolize dogs, it is only because they no longer see fit to glorify God.
