I had to give up many of my own personal idols after many years. Including using the trick term ‘badass’ sadly.

How can you say, ‘I am not defiled; I have not run after the Baals’? See how you behaved in the valley; consider what you have done. You are a swift she-camel running here and there, a wild donkey accustomed to the desert, sniffing the wind in her craving— in her heat who can restrain her? Any males that pursue her need not tire themselves; at mating time they will find her.
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭2:23-24‬

The end of the story is not at all depressing.
