How are you doing in this stressed out world? Is it crushing you, mind, body, and soul? The story of the Golden Calf is certainly about idolatry, but the Hebrew people were also incredibly traumatized and stressed. Like the rest of us, they weren't exactly at their best. This doesn't make idolatry okay, but it does mean we need to be cognizant what's going on and find ways to help us all be a little less stressed.
Also, the Associated Press did a huge project on Nones around the world. It reveals a lot of the places where organized religion has fallen short of the mark and that spirituality remains a strong part of the human experience.
