At what point does simple admiration for the great deeds of another human, even fictitious, go beyond inspirational and into idolatry?
I know Jesus is supposed to be our ultimate hero, and not denying that His actions were great. But obviously there are other heroes too, related to Christianity (his disciples for example), and not related (presidents, war heroes), and even fictional (anime related can carries a GREAT sacrifice therefore easier to look up to them).
Just wondering. When does "wow that person was really great and gives us hope" become idolatry?
