 Worship Not 
 
Worship not any thing.A thing neither knows nor cares that you choose to worship it.
 
 
Worship not your self.To worship yourself is nothing but a fool's errand.
 
 
Worship not any person.To worship a person is to deny their humanity.
 
 
Worship not any creed.To worship a creed is to deny the alternative.
 
 
Worship not any god.God (if there is one) needs not your worship.
 
 
Worship not anything.
