Infinite Jest and life's groove

I have started to read Infinite Jest, by David Foster Wallace. We have had an interesting start. When I am reading or thinking about something, there can be a tendency to see it in everything else I read or think about. One part of the book did just that...

At one point, there is this terrorist figure and a secret agent type guy having a conversation. They are talking about some guy who wouldn't think twice about dying for some other person. The terrorist begins to talk about how the word fanatic comes from Latin meaning 'temple;' literally, 'to worship at the temple.' He then goes on to say that we are all fanatics about something and we must choose very wisely what we will be fanatical about, saying, "but choose with care. You are what you love... All other of our you say free choices follow from this: what is our temple." To do otherwise, he thinks, is to be the worst kind of slave: the slave who believes they are free. All follow; some are free in their following.

This is something that we also see in social science. People do follow what they revere. If that job is important, we will see the remnants of that job in non-job related aspects of their life. Money? Same. God? Same. Rarely is it clear cut, however. Usually some is money, some is family, and some is God. With limited resources to 'pay out' to these 'temples,' the visits to any given 'temple' decreases with plurality. God gets less because the job gets some, and so on. So, going back to fanaticism, from what are all other choices flowing?

We are reading The Story right now at church. It is the Bible that reads like a story or a narrative, as it is edited, chronologically, to do so. Recently we read:
"A spirit of prostitution is in their heart; they do not acknowledge the Lord.
They are unfaithful to the Lord; they give birth to illegitimate children."

Failing to choose, and stick with, a temple carefully is in a sense to prostitute out for lesser pay what should be God's. Failing to choose temples wisely and blithely play in the playground of plurality leads to something, and it is not the 'child' of faith, or belief, or living in one's groove as Bonhoeffer would put it. He is the temple to which we turn, directing our life and decisions away from the illegitimate children of brokenness and all its glory.
