Here’s a screencast version of a talk I gave in Atlanta at the 2012 Theological Conference sponsored by the Atlanta Bible College. My thanks to the hosts and audience there for a good discussion.
This version is a bit longer, and I’ve tweaked my definitions of idolatry, I hope making them more accurate.
I believe an actual video of my talk will eventually be posted at the 21st Century Reformation website. The Atlanta version is more conversational and has film of me talking, and I believe it will include the Q&A that followed. I will post links when they are available.

If you want to learn a bit more than the “logic arguments” that Dale considers not only (and rightly) so important, but also (wrongly) so exhaustive, perhaps you will want to look at my Journal at Beliefnet, post The “worship” due to Jesus.
