It's the opposite or it's something different from God's way.
And that is idolatry.

And I think that what happens is that, for example, in Congress today, a lot of people who serve in Congress are not institutionalists.
They're not focused on legislating even.

That's less important than my saying something that is going to be sort of odd enough and outrageous enough
to get myself noticed in the social media or to get myself noticed on Fox News or MSNBC.
