The real tragedy is the absence of Christ in the life of these people.
.
that is yet some rational answer!
don't you think that even if the other gods, that such worshipers bow to and serve, are some true Holy Angels of God, that their worship is again sinful/unholy/wrong?!
Revelation 19:9-10 "And he(i.e. one upmost Angel of God and Jesus) saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God. And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.",
Revelation 22:6-9 "And he(i.e. one upmost Angel of God and Jesus) said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book. And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.",
1 Corinthians 8:4-8 "As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols(i.e. the activities that are dedicated to other gods), we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords(also: and christs) many,) But to us(i.e. but the real setup to all humans of the boundless universe is that) there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge(i.e. in every worshiper/cleric that conscience/understanding): for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat it(i.e. exercise/practice the faith) as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak(i.e. becoming weak so) is defiled. But meat(i.e. but the occultism/idolatry and in general the faith in which the knowledge is the direction/priority instead of the love in Jesus Christ for the cohabitants) commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat(i.e. if we exercise/practice it), are we the better; neither, if we eat not(i.e. if we do not exercise/practice it), are we the worse.",
Exodus 20:3-6 "Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments."
