a start, and introduce "idolatry factor"

'''Idolatry''' is defined by the Merriam-Webster dictionary as "the worship of a physical object as a god" and "immoderate attachment or devotion to something." It is one of the older words in the English language, dating back to the 13th century.<ref>The dictionary does not date the origin of English words prior to the 12th century.</ref>

Can one's degree of idolatry be quantified? Like quantifying time and money, idolatry can be also be quantified.

For example, one could simply calculate the ratio of time he spends doing one or more of the following compare to the time spent in [[prayer]]:

*watching television
*focusing on money
*thinking about favorites of the media, such as politicians or [[Hollywood]] "stars"

One's [[idolatry factor]] is the ratio of time spent on one or more of the above activities to the time spent on God.
