If you consciously decide to be celebate, for example, I believe that's admirable. If you're doing it because your book says so, that's another story.
Either way, I don't know how much of a joke April Fool's day was last year. There's a big difference between mindlessly worshipping an idol and aligning yourself with the proper spiritual currents to access the christ consciousness in the etheric.
In short, get a grip, and to quote Sir Dylan-
"Don't criticize what you can't understand"
