"Claiming
to be wise, they became fools; and they exchanged the glory of the
immortal God for images resembling a mortal human being or birds or
four-footed animals or reptiles.
Therefore
God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the
degrading of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the
truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather
than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen."
Paul's Letter to the Romans, 1:22-25
