- Be an idol while increasing everything supporting it and destroying everything not supporting it.
- Be the servant of an idol by seeking to promote it and destroy its enemies.
- Love someone as an idol to vicariously live as or through them.
- Seek ownership of some idol through achievement, control, dominance, greed, possession, power, and always getting more of it or for it.
- Seek the experience of an idol, which often leads to addiction, compulsion, and endlessly trying and failing to possess it.
- Feel depressed and suicidal when an idol is lost or no new satisfying idol can be found.
