when a person attributes to a fleshly desire greater might than they themselves have, or they surrender their will to this desire whether it be material or sexual in nature than this desire can become a god. In The Bible book Philippians 3:18,19. Paul speaks of certain one that had left the faith in order to venerate false gods.

Paul also mentions here that seeking ones self glory can lead to shame and another form of idolarty--that of selfworship. see also 1 Tim 6:9 and Matthew 5:27&28
