Let me introduce you to the societal god. This, my friends, are more dangerous than being an atheist and embracing Darwinism. We might say "we believe in one God, and we pray to the one God and we obey the rules and regulations of this religion".
Without realizing it, we submit MORE to another god, the societal god, the god that we obey when urges come,
"i'll pray a little bit later, i want to watch this comedy first"
"i'll have to miss terawikh today, i want to go watch movie with my boyfriend"
"i have to be a singer, because God gave me talent, and i have no other means to find money"
we submit to money, we submit to satisfying our insatiable need for all kinds of entertainment. of course, we still pray, and we still profess that we are muslims. and don't anybody dare to say that we are not, because we are. but secretly, quietly, our islamic values are being replaced by the values of our societal gods

insya Allah. we should avoid submitting to the societal god, but sometimes we just can't differentiate. May Allah guide us all.
